can I disable the warning? I am using the beta for my fyp (for the SMP
speedup), and my distributed script wouldnt be able to "click" on it.

I am still trying to live with the pain of the splash screen and editor
window. Rendering a 10k frame animation and using /exit is no fun. And I am
using /exit instead of /render because of the behaviour difference in how
file extension is treated. (and no no I am not using batching subframe on
purpose, I prefer my program to check if each frame is rendered already or
not.)

so that if required, I could generate a sub video for user preview.

thx
