Manager for View Layer / Render Layer

A manager to activate ViewLayers for render without having to "change layer, deactivate or activate things, render" change layer again, and again, and again ...

So I propose a window that shows all ViewLayers info with the most useful setting ready to check 'Use for rendering' and some other useful overides to check, uncheck or overide:

Image mockup example added.

It has been crippling doing without the passes and overrides options I used to have available in Softimage. I'm not talking about Shadow, AO, Direct, Indirect, Color, etc. I'm talking about the ability to set per pass (layer) frame ranges, per pass render quality settings, override almost anything on selected groups of objects within that pass. It is nonsense to render all the layers for a full frame range when you are making animations that dissolve from one layer to the next. This is a necessity for any animator doing projects in the real world for actual clients.
