Occasionally one server on a farm will freak out due to some missing texture maps or plugins or whatever. (Max has a tendency to reset itself sometimes and all paths get blown out. Happens to me about once every two weeks).
So I will end up with 550 good frames but 50 bad ones.
I have to manually look through the list of frames to see which ones where rendered by the bad server and then tediously type up a comma delimited list of those frames so backburner can re-render those items.
this could be made much easier in two ways:
1) Allow an export function in Backburner where you choose a Server(s) and it will export a comma delimited list to a test file with all the frames rendered by that server. That list could be copy/pasted into max as a new backburner submission or just done as a Duplicate backburner job and paste the item into the frames to render.
2) The more elegant solution would be to have a right-click option in backburner that lets you right click a server name in the Task area and choose Re-render this server's frames. It would automatically create a duplicate backburner job set to render only the frames associated with that server.
