Now that we have HDR inside Lightroom, with virtually no user input, the next step is surely a batch facility for a folder full of bracketed images.
Please!!!!

I don't think I could do my job without batch processing. I use PTGui Pro for HDR business panoramas but the one thing it lacks is a good quick ghost removal. The tests I have done with LR HDR really produce a superior final image, but without the batch HDR processing 200+ images each shoot would have me losing hours out of my day.
It's a huge feature to have. It would surely make Adobe more sales for those who make HDR photos their living.
+1 for batch processing.

Auto stacking and batching of Panorama and HDR content would be incredibly useful. I would greatly appreciate the feature!

Adding in the ability to automatically color/flag/rename the resulting batched files would be a welcome addition as well.

Thank you

If you search for "autohotkey on mac", you get a number of suggestions, starting with this thread: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/153930/autohotkey-equivalent-for-os-x. But I haven't tried any of them.  You can also use Applescript to stuff keystrokes and mouse events, but I've done just enough of that to know it's very painful from Applescript.

I used to use Autohotkey on windows and loved it. I believe there is something called AutoKey for Mac but I have not had the time to try it.

I have found the magic number for MacBook Pro with 16gb RAM i7 processor, to be about 12 concurrent jobs. Still seems to push through jobs quick enough...
