Very useful if interface elements control aspects of composition, (like mouse interaction) but are unable to have interaction during offline render.

alexmitchellmus, in Vuo 1.1 and up, when you're using the Image Generator protocol, you can publish a boolean port called offlineRender, which will tell you whether the composition is being run in realtime (false) or being exported (true). We just realized that's not in the manual yet; we'll add it.

Regarding differentiating between running in Vuo Editor and as a standalone exported app — could you provide some examples of when that would be useful to you?

To have the same functionality for an exported app could enable a user to switch off bug tracking aspects of their Vuo environment automatically. Such as print to console - or extra interface windows used during development.
