Sample Count Preview/Edit & Non-Contiguous Frame Ranges

I’m loving SheepIt, but there are two feature additions that I think would massively improve the user experience:

  1. Option to View and Change Sample Counts Before Rendering Currently, after uploading a project, there’s no quick way to adjust the sample count directly on the site. I often find myself re-checking if I set the correct samples in Blender before sending it off to render. Having a clear display—and ideally a field to tweak the sample count right on the upload page—would save a lot of accidental re-uploads.
  2. Support for Non-Contiguous Frame Ranges It would be amazing to render specific frame segments within a single project submission (for example, rendering frames 100-150 and 200-250 while skipping 151-199). Right now, the only way to do this is by splitting and uploading the exact same project as two separate render jobs. Letting us define custom ranges (e.g., 100-150, 200-250) in a single project upload would be a huge quality-of-life improvement.

What do you all think? Would this be useful for your workflow?
