Batch Render View Layers

v1.2.3 key updates:

1. Task Selection and Workflow Automation

2. From "Mark Completed" to "Toggle Enable": The new version replaces the simple completion icon with a functional checkbox; only checked tasks will be included in the batch.

3. Auto-Deselect upon Completion: Once a task finishes rendering, the system automatically unchecks it to prevent redundant rendering in the next session.

4. Bulk Toggle Buttons: New "Select All" and "Deselect All" buttons have been added to the bottom for easier management of large task lists.

2. Real-time Preview and Switching

• Click Name to Preview: When a task is collapsed, clicking its name automatically switches the 3D viewport to that specific View Layer and Camera.

• Instant Property Sync: Modifying the View Layer or Camera directly within the panel now triggers an immediate update in the active scene, providing a "what you see is what you get" experience.

3. UI and Visual Enhancements

• Visual Status Distinction: Tasks that are unchecked (disabled) now appear greyed out in the interface, making it easy to distinguish which tasks will be skipped.

• Clean Layout: The interface has been streamlined by removing redundant icons and organizing input fields more tidily when a task is expanded.

4. System Stability and Logic

• Smarter Defaults: New tasks now automatically detect and fill in the scene's existing View Layers and Cameras, reducing the need for manual setup.

• Task Scheduling: Create multiple render jobs, each with its own specific View Layer, Camera, and Frame Range.

• Automatic Setting Swaps: During rendering, the engine automatically switches to the designated camera and view layer for each task, eliminating the need for manual setup changes.

• Custom Output Paths: Each job can have a unique subfolder and file name, preventing your renders from overwriting each other.

• Completion Tracking: Once a task finishes, it is automatically marked with a "Completed" flag.

• Auto-Skip: If you stop and restart a batch, the system automatically skips tasks already marked as done.

• Task Reordering: Includes "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons so you can easily adjust the priority of your render queue.

• Reset Function: You can clear all completion flags with one click to re-run the entire batch.

• Progress Tracking: Displays a progress percentage and shows exactly which task is currently being processed.

• Quick Access: Includes a dedicated button to open the render output folder directly from the panel.

1. Locate the VLRender tab in the Sidebar (N-Panel) of the 3D Viewport.

2. Click "Add New Task" to create a job.

3. Assign the desired View Layer, Camera, and Frame Range for that job.

4. Ensure an output path is set in the standard Blender Render Properties, then click "Start Batch Render".
