Editing the Add-on

Add-on .py files are in the working directory and read by Blender. Below is the structure:

• __init__.py is used to register add-on classes and modules.
• ui_panel.py consists of generic bpy.types.Panel built-in Blender Python API classes. Initializing panels.
• ui_panel_base.py contains panels' UI bases.
• utils.py contains utility functions for operations.
• operators.py contains BakeMaster configuration operators.
• operator_bake.py for the main baking logic - Bake Operator.
• labels.py has a BM_Labels class that contains strings used for properties', operators' and errors' descriptions.

Make sure you updated the version key in the bl_info dictionary in the :file:`/__init__.py` (increase the 3rd item in the tuple by 1):

...
bl_info = {
    "name" : "BakeMaster",
    "description" : "Bake various PBR-based or Cycles maps with ease and comfort",
    "author" : "kemplerart",
    "version" : (1, 0, 0), # (1, 0, 0) -> (1, 0, 1)
    "blender" : (2, 83, 0),
    "location" : "View3D > Sidebar > BakeMaster",
    "warning" : "",
    "wiki_url": "",
    "tracker_url": "",
    "category" : "Material"
}
...
