Workbench: grab viewport settings to render settings (except samples)
I suggest a button, that will copy viewport render settings for workbench to render settings except sample rates, quality rates etc. And even checkbox, that allows autograbbing settings rigth after you press F12 and before render starts. Just to prevent clicking button many times. Or, may be, vieport/render presets, that you can write,rewrite and choose for viewport or render.
What do you think about it?
Workbench is wonderful tool, that allow to make simple and clear schemes and pictures with sharp shadows extermely fast, but it is pain in the arse to copy most of settings from vieport (where you can tune manually and visually) to general render. Now the only one setting, that connected (strictly) is direction of shadow casting light.
p.s. there is samples for cavity too, it is nice to imitate contact shadows.

Yeah, it would be great also if the render and solid views of workbench would match, I cant get the render to look exactly like what I have in solid view, I dont understand why we have two renderers that seeming do the same thing, we could just keep the solid view and render with that one, I guess there must be a technical reason to have this redundancy... but from a user perspective it looks odd, and makes rendering things on the workbench more cumbersome that it might need to be.
Little bumb. Anybody interested?
This seems like something that could be captured in a simple add-on pretty easily.
* @Jason van Gumster * I thought about is, but addon will copy whole list of parameters. One by one. Am I wrong? I don`t know if it is possible to copy or link to whole datablock. But inner system of blender allows connect and disconnect these settings, AFAIK.
* @ Vyacheslav * I don't think the viewport shading parameters are stored in a specific datablock. So they'll need to be copied regardless. Not a huge deal, though. It might make writing the add-on take a bit more time, but from the user perspective, it would just be one button push.
* @Jason van Gumster * i want to write one, but I don`t want to fill it with tons of strings. I would like more «copy datablock» or «for list.lenght copy each one from room.Name to rendersetting.Name ». Some aestethic and short solution.
