Hi.
 
I really liked LightMix. But I accidentally twice pressed on the Render button instead of the LightMix tab. Yep, I saved DumpEXR before it happend and I can open it again in VFB using "resume from file..." but I must wait again about 20 minutes for Denoise (9 LightSelect passes). I have i7-3770K@4.2Ghz. So can you protect us from this shit by adding warning message or maybe rearrange UI or something like this? But perfect solution will be ability to save calculated Denoise in EXR file.

Also a couple of thoughts ...
1. Lacks on / off buttons for each LightSelect.
2. Would be better if all lighting AND Post will save as preset in a scene and/or in one *.conf file. (see attach)
3. Why LightMix doesn't affect on other passes? For excample, if I turn off some lights these lights still visible in reflection pass.

UI change: we have new UI layout in works, not for 1.6 though. But 1.6 at least allows you to drag&drop the panels into different order, so you can put the lightmix tab far away from the button.

1. implemented
2. IMHO it is better the current way - less surprises for user when one tab does not influence another
3. there is spearate feature request for this
