DESIRED RESULTS:
The "Settings.ini" file should be written at the BEGINNING of the "Save MI Scene" process, before any individual frame data is exported.


WHY:
Suppose you planned to export 1,000 frames, but after 200 frames you decided to Cancel the export operation, and render just those first 200 frames. There would be no Options.ini file, so you would have no control over the rendering parameters, and you might not even be able to render anything at all.


NOTES:
1) As of the Jan 25 beta, the Settings.ini file is ignored. This is a proactive Issue request, because this will be important when that file is fully implemented.
2) Cross-reference to Issue #5385 - "Put the render "Options" into a separate .mi file to make it more friendly for animation sequences"
