Clarify "Use default" in Save output (to describe what it does) #32

Description

Problem

The Use default behavior under the Save options (in IOPlugin) doesn't describe how it behaves. The question from artists is: "What is default?"

Proposal

I'd like to propose two solutions.

  1. Remove the Use default option.
  2. Add a tooltip message to the checkbox.

1. Remove the use default option

With the implementation of render tokens in #28 we can remove the default and maybe instead allow users to define their own "dynamic default" through render tokens. This way it's much less hardcoded and is clear to the user what it does.

2. Add a tooltip message to the checkbox

This would clarify on mouse-hover what it does. Most artists are trained to request additional information from UI items by hovering over them, though in many scenarios it's not instantly clear what the UI item does. By implementing a tooltip we can add some clarification. It's debatable on how good of a solution this is UX-design wise.

Let's discuss what solution would be the best fit. I'm currently thinking about proposal 1.
