When using the VFB you have to specify the file name and type in the "Split render channels" box. When specifying filename in the 3dsmax "Save file"-box, the render elements have to be configured manually. To me, this feels like an unneccesary extra step, which is easily forgotten when the deadline draws near, or when you're sending several jobs from the same scene to the Backburner queue.
A simple checkbox "inherit filename" would solve this problem.
While on the topic of render elements, I think I've found a small bug. When rendering using 3dsmax frame buffer, I specify the file type to be saved as 16 bit TIF. However, the render elements often save as 8 bit TIFs. I think the bug occurs when loading a file with this setup, changing the file name, but not the type, and render. If you set the file format to 16bit TIF and render directly it works alright.
