Visual feedback for exports when not on export tab
When making an export queue and wanting to carry on working, it'd be nice to have a small visual feedback that and export has been successful instead of having to manually check back and forth.

A two click integration into Arnold
i run a youtube channel for MAYA (www.youtube.com/uhr24) and just prepared a substance alchemist intro tutorial which sort-of ends with my comment that the wonderful texture we just created in alchemist won't easily land in maya with arnold as the standard rendering engine.
i've tried all kinds of modes of the substance node in the maya hypershader, i read the (rather poor) documentation and wait for a two click method like it is currently provided for stingray. stingray cannot be read by arnold...

Adding optional blending mask directly from sbs or sbsar file
Currently in Alchemist, you have height map, curvature map, ambient occlusion map, and custom image as blending mask. Right now I have some filters that contains mask for layering in Alchemist. However, I can only save them into AO channel and then I can use the mask in Alchemist. It would be nice that Alchemist detects optional mask inside sbs or sbsar files.

change the Mesh menu location
it's really inconvenient to go to the side menu every time I want to change the mesh from plan to sphere or cube I feel like it should be right next to the displacement and texture tiles button at the bottom right of the viewer

Easier away to share Alchemist projects, cloud sync
I have two computers that I use daily. I wish there's an easier way to share my Alchemist materials between computers so that I don't need to copy the folder in AppData to my usb drive everyday. A cloud sync maybe?

Contextual menus
Alchemist is missing contextual ("Right Click") menus in many places I would normally expect them. For example, I'm enable to right-click a substance inside of a collection and rename or delete it. I also can't right-click a substance to clone it if I want to make multiple copies (in other words, in UX terms the functionality for "Save As" or "Duplicate" isn't "discoverable").

Numerical input for rotations
When using bounding boxes can we have numerical input for rotations (e.g. for tiling) or some kind of reference as to the angle being rotated.
