A simple batch function in FF would be awesome.
Also a 'render selected maps' function to go with it. (diffuse, bump, normal)

Batch GUI Tool for Windows
... @Indigo Ray: I'm glad it works now!
@Sharandra
"I have some trouble with image transparency for PNGs tho, that doesn´t seem to work at all. I either get blank images or white backgrounds."
This seems to be a "feature" of the batchrenderer. The batch.xml is oke, but it doesn't create transparent images. In the forums I read a workaround:
"had to specify a fully transparent source file otherwise it only rendered the filter over a white background. I'm using FFBatchMaster for ...

Batch GUI Tool for Windows (http://filterforge.com/forum/read.php?FID=5&TID=11476)

FOR MAC USERS

Computer advice needed
Author: meyendlesss. For fun, and to help you get excited, here's some render times from my i7 using a few of the default filters. I ran a simple batch file with all FF settings at default and all BIOS settings at default too. Then just overclocked to 4GHz and ran the batch again...

Command line tool error
Author: dovoto. Update: I received my beta 4 key as well as my windows 8 key and that resulted in the following (all i did was register the programs with the supplied key):
The batch ff 3 renderer now crashes BEFORE running the task (but exits without locking up, error pasted below).
The batch ff 4 renderer executes the tasks and outputs the images, it crashes bringing up a warning window (pictured below) and will not exit until the ...
Simple BatchRendering
Author: Equator. Crapadilla, exellent proposition!
But, first of all, batchrendering must be in GUI-mode, not 'command line'.
In command line mode this will be very inconveniently.

2 filters in 1
Author: Kraellin. batchrendering of a single image through multiple filters. interesting idea. you might even be able to do that from photoshop with the use of actions.
Proper batch tools = instant FF4 upgrade
... easy to understand to begin with. Use notepad!! Besides you aren't making xml for other purposes so don't bother finding new software.
As for the Maya batch editors, they look nice but don't really do much other than make file operations easier. Batchrender script gen looks promising but I wouldn't bother with it. It'll be a huge waste of time dealing with it since the xml file's easy to understand to begin with. You'd rather spend the time just filling in the gaps appropriately in each element.

Features which could improve value of FF
... almost no changes, I do not remember any significant change..
I also work in SW development industry and from my opinion GUI is missing next features:
- possibility to preview other filters while rendering, I mean continue ordinary editing work while rendering some task.
- batching from GUI multiple filters - could be easy just like this: take a filter, save settings for particular variant, add to batch, take next, do the same
Simple scheduling with filter Id and set of parameters, FIFO queue, run sequentially
- inform ...
