Interesting idea. I hadn't thought about that. A button could at most remove the global -shell-escape and enable it for the particular document. But it wouldn't help any other document that needs -shell-escape. Also, I'm worried that a user would click on the "automatic fix" button without thinking, even if their document didn't need -shell-escape. At first thought, I don't like the idea of the button adding the document-specific -shell-escape. Also at first thought, I do think I like the idea of a button that just focuses on removing -shell-escape from the global converter, if we were very clear to the user what was going on (and that they would have to enable it manually for each document that needed it).
