Need help modifying Maya.ini module for 3Delight rendering

I'm trying to modify Maya.ini to include rendering of Maya scene file using 3Delight plugin, without need of separate rib generation.
I can successfully render the scene using 3Delight in batch mode, but I have hard times to setup Maya.ini to support advanced features of Smedge like image recognition, size verification, etc.
How should I modify ImageCheck section?
thank you
m.
I'm including render log output:

Currently, Smedge only supports detecting a single frame file per line of output. The output from 3Delight you pasted above shows 2 different frame files listed on a single line of output, and Smedge won't correctly detect this for Maya derived products.
To detect a single frame file, you can use this:
ImageCheck = rendering displays:
But if you try to do this with your scene, Smedge will not detect the correct file names, because it will combine the two different frame files as if they were a single filename.
It is possible to change this for the next version. I will put some thought into the best possible approach that will not break all the current users' customized Maya.ini systems but allow future expansion to be more sophisticated.
When you have a moment, can you send your customized Maya.ini to me at ? That way, I can use your work as a starting point.
Also, Smedge 2011 now includes the ability to set the image formats when you submit the job. Using this feature, if you know your file sequence names ahead of time, you can fill them all into the Job data and have access to some of the frame sequence features, like sequence viewing and correct use of CheckFileSequence, even if the images cannot be detected from the output.
Thanks

I found an interesting problem while using -progress switch to see some percentage progress similar to mental ray one.
After render is finished and all images written successfully to disk Smedge will not recognize it and is waiting for the end init signal forever.
Should I log this as a bug on 3Delight side as I doubt it provides the signal?

Hmm, that's a weird one. Is the 3delight render process still active on the machine? Smedge should be able to monitor for the end of the process even if the process does not behave properly.
