Hello. I love this add-on. So many wonderful features. I mainly do architectural renderings. Sometimes many cameras. Interior and exterior. To help hep with efficiency, I would like to see an option where, similar to view layers per camera, "collections per camera". This would help so much. For instance, when I am doing a project with interior and exterior renderings, I don't need to see a lot of the exterior stuff. So if each interior camera could remember which exterior related collections I'd like to have turned off for each interior camera, it would save me time having to go and turn off those collections manually each time. And it can be a lot of collections, cars, landscape, people etc.. It gets cumbersome having to remember to turn these collections off each time. And if I forget to turn one off, I have to re-render. Setting up the correct "collections per camera" one time would save so much time. Please consider it.

Hi Aaron,
"Collections per camera" is exactly what View Layers per camera are for. However, I will admit that the View Layer workflow in Blender is a bit annoying, with the compositing graph requirements and the render always outputing black frames from other view layers that are not necessary. I assume you already watched that video, but this should explain how to use the View Layers per camera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTw7Adw4aBk
I'll investigate the possibility to do a "Collections snapshot" per camera, which would be more user friendly for the simpler cases.
