<p>Hi Jeroen,</p>
<p>Is it possible to have multiple compositing tree? but we have ability to choose which one to use for current scene. IMO The benefit of having 'slots' nodetree as material/texture is the capabilities to transfer (linking/append) compositing nodetree to another blendfile, even we can do this with group node.</p>
<p>And for enable/disable compositing in the pipeline, I think the one in render panel is enough, as sequencer does.</p>
<p>Regards. </p>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
It is also a bit of legacy. First time clicking on use nodes will create<br>
an initial composite node setup. It is because the other node tree types<br>
(material/texture) can have multiple trees, but there is only one<br>
composite tree per scene. The button is the same as the '+' button on<br>
the other node trees types. The "Compositing" setting is introduced to<br>
disable/enable the compositing step in the pipeline.<br>
