This section outlines the various preferences available in the Set Project addon.
The "Info" section provides useful information about specific folder names and their roles within the project. Understanding these naming conventions is crucial for efficient project management.
- Render Output Path: If the folder name is 'Render', 'Image', or 'Images', it will be utilized as the render output path.
- Blender File Saving Folder: If the folder name is 'Scene' or 'Scenes', it will be used as the directory for saving Blender files.
The "Preset Settings" section allows users to manage presets for their projects. Presets capture specific configurations, making it easy to apply predefined settings.
- Presets Dropdown: Select from a list of default presets or create custom presets in the addon preferences. Note that switching from a custom preset to another may not save data configured under the custom option. Be cautious when changing presets.
The "Experimental Features" section houses advanced options that enhance the functionality of the Set Project addon.
-
Enable Experimental Features: Toggle to enable or disable experimental features.
-
Update Folders Mode: Choose the mode for updating folders:

These experimental features may offer additional capabilities but should be used with caution as they are still under development.
