could there be a button that would switch the Preview Kernel back and forth?
could make navigating a bit easier during rendering. could switch it to direct to move around a scene and look around at various angles and then switch it to pathtracing when you feel like it and back and forth?

we've already been thinking about this, eg navigate in a biased mode like directlighting (even RGBor something, then switch to unbiased or other modes once you let go of the mouse...)

we just need the time to do it, so this will probably be a v1.1 feature...
use subsampling (the chessboard icons ontop of the renderview port) in the meantime ?

that's cool Radiance. that was just a suggestion, not at all a complaint.
