## TODO:
## Transfer useful and generic render function from gp_render:
- mute/unmute all file output nodes
- export crop infos to json (hardcoded path in gp_render. make an export dialog instead, with eventually an environnement variable for the path)
- Viewlayer list view

## Transfer useful and genereric render stuff from gp_toolbox:
- ? Conflict visibility checker ? This also fit other tasks, but more often use to debug at precomp/rendering step.

## Improve existing:
- Add a toggle to separate tech passes (always set to 32bit default)
- toggle to always create a new node (don't try connect to existing file output node)
- optional : only connect to existing file output if node settings are aligned with current ones
- Connect to file output node should not remove unlinked output by defaut (should be an option in window)

## Done:

- (just added an option "scene + node name socket") - Connect to file output node should have the option to add scene name as output prefix
- Connect to file output node should have search and replace options for output names in window -->
