Quicker animation/Movie Testing

I'm not sure if this has been brought up before but it would be handy if you could do "quick render tests" from fewer mouse clicks.
Say for instance after you set up the project settings, you could nominate your test render formats (output size, quality/compression and so on) then only have to hit one button, enter the frame numbers (also pre populated with the last frame numbers chosen). As I'm often caught out, when doing a quick render and go make a coffee and come back to find it's still waiting for me to choose the quality setting. I'm not sure why we always have to enter the quality settings for every render. Seems it would save time to have all the setting on the same box when you do a render and they all be set to the last setting chosen to save time.
Just my humble opinion.
Great program BTW! I'm just refering to a workflow issue.
