[*] New: IR Overlay resolution reduction added in Preferences - especially useful for 4K+ monitors

For the less aware, this feature allows one to render IR previews inside sketchup window at a resolution down to 8x smaller than that on screen.

This, of course, lowers render definition drastically, but allows for a very fast and interactive viewport that clears faster.

It's specially useful for working with Skatter, for instance, on 4K+ screens where you can place huge amount of trees without having to wait ages for the preview to generate; or you'll be able to work with sketchup with edges on and an IR render going; or placing a camera and fine tuning lighting; all of wich would require a 4k render to be processed on previous version, wich would overkill sketchup.

Hi Tomasz!

Thanks for this new upgrade and for all your work on Thea!

I'm wondering if, when batch rendering, it would be possible to add a suffix with render time and/or s/px and/or engine used?

Thanks again!

If there are no objections from other users, then I may add it. If anyone doesn't want longer, more detailed file names for Batch Rendering raise your hand, please.
