The button dialog category contains properties that affect different aspects of button popups, including simple confirmation popup windows and popup windows with settings and options to choose from.
The confirm popup option controls whether to display simple confirmation popup windows when pressing buttons that manage the bake session, including the start, cancel, and other related buttons listed below.
The toggle all option disables the confirm popups for all the listed buttons.
When the confirm popup is enabled for a button, clicking it opens a confirmation popup window before executing the button's function. The action won't proceed until confirmed.
If the confirm dialog is disabled, the button executes immediately without any confirmation popup.
The confirm popup windows can also be skipped without disabling the feature by holding the CTRL key while clicking.
This setting does not affect button dialogs that have properties to set, it only applies to popup windows whose sole purpose is to confirm a button click.
The bake start button's popup window contains several options that control various settings of the elements panels. The start settings allow you to customize which options appear in the popup window and which do not.
The toggle all option disables all settings from appearing in the start popup window.
These settings are categorized according to the sub-panels of the elements panel: image texture, materials, objects, and export path settings.
The categories are marked with the category icon (the same as the start settings options) and highlighted in dark gray. These category markers are hidden when all options within a category are disabled in the start settings.
The reuse elements option allows for reusing already created elements, including textures, materials, and objects, during the bake process instead of creating duplicates. By default, this option prompts for confirmation before each bake session, but it can also be set to always enable or disable.
When set to asked, a prompt appears in the bake start button's popup window, asking whether to reuse the already created elements or not.
The reuse elements option may not be visible before the first bake, as there are no textures, materials, or objects available to reuse at that point.
The export list option allows you to automatically clear the object and texture export lists when a new bake session starts. You can enable this option to clear the lists, disable it to keep the objects and textures, or choose to be prompted before the bake session.
When set to be asked, the bake start button's popup window will prompt you to decide whether to clear or keep the baked textures and objects in the export lists.
The clear list option will not be available if the export lists are already empty.
The bake cancel option determines the default behavior of the cancel button, whether to cancel the whole bake session with all its pending objects, or only the currently baked object's pending textures.
The bake cancel option determines the default behavior of the cancel button, specifying whether to cancel the entire bake session along with all its pending objects or just the pending textures of the currently baked object.
If the bake cancel option is set to ask, pressing the cancel button will open a popup window, allowing you to choose whether to cancel the entire bake session or just the currently baked object.
The object swap option automates the confirm button's swap object function. By default, it is set to ask, but it can also be configured to always swap, never swap, or only swap when all textures have been baked successfully.
When set to ask, the confirm button's popup window allows you to decide whether to swap the objects. If you choose to swap, you can also specify whether to keep or delete the original object.
