[Cin] Debate on batch render

Wed Jan 13 04:50:45 CET 2021

*RafaMar*, thanks for enlisting help from your programmer friend.  Using
the batchrender.C file you sent, the menu box is not lined up quite right
as you can see in the attachment, but if we use this I think I might be
able to fix it myself.

*Andrew*, the other email shows I had a problem with the patch:
disable_two_buttons_in_batchrender_gui-5.diff but maybe I did something
wrong.

*Andrea_Paz*, I agree with not deleting these buttons and really do not
like to just comment them out, but are you totally opposed to doing so?
