The KeyInterp / Target Track does not have a Reset default.
As shown, I Reset everything.
Are these Defaults the correct ones?
Is the Sharpness value 0.333 the Default that tS761 uses as a Default?

Target Track has no default,

"Target Track - the destination track for new keyframes. Not used when both type is bezier and sharpness is 0.33 (the trueSpace defaults for new keyframes). This setting can also be ignored if the item has only one animation track."

"if object has multiple animation tracks the script will default to the last one added and the record button on first press will open the panel to give the option of changing the target track. Afterwards the record button will record keyframes until the object selection changes or the tracks change name or number of tracks changes. All this is needed because there is no way to read which track is active."

The record button + target track to open the panel and update the list seems really awkward. Maybe there's a better way.

"multiple animation tracks have not been tested - Sept 2017" - probably the reason for the awkwardness.

default Type should be bezier, that's what I get when I reset the Type

Sharpness default of 0.33 is correct

Okay thanks.
I was able to populate the Target Track combo ctrl by selecting the Record button, so it is back in it's default state.

On another note, I was thinking about adding a Disabled clip for Lights and Cameras as shown, to stop Model from changing these attributes. I have been testing this and it seems to work. Thoughts?

why disabled? when I set disabled it doesn't stop model changes, I have to re enable and scrub to see it restored

I was thinking Disabled so it would not interfere with animation.
What are the steps that you take to get to break?
I am not seeing these attributes change, except I do notice Spolight1's shape is bigger.
That seems to be a Scale issue. Geeze!

My steps are
new scene
add angle keyframe to the spotlight
disable the clip
open a model view
open the scene editor and scrub the time
result angle changes from 2 to 0.8

workspace
enable clip and scrub to recover value

scrubbing the modelspace scene editor is a good test since it does most of the damage.

Your words have been haunting me for weeks now, "Curious!
Having YafaRay4tS render Model space animations.
Doesn't that open a can of worms with Workspace Materials and Lights getting corrupted? "
Boy, did you call that one! ;)

Yep it is the Scrubber.
Including the Scale changes.
Sorry, hope I did not jinx you.
So besides Standalone Deformation, is it okay?

I finished changes to the D3D render + modelspace and need to get similar changes into the YafaRay. The new way uses an invisible item to tell the scripts that the python file is done. Workspace sets the item z value to 0, modelspace python sets it to 1 and the looping workspace scripts look for the z=1 value in a loop. Previously, it used a timer to guess when modelspace was done processing. The other change was to split up some scripts to give the scene an opportunity to update between changes, think I was trying to do too much inside one script node and that made it less reliable.
My plan:
make a test scene with modelspace animation and workspace animation for YafaRay
test with the new D3D render to be sure it's working
make changes to YafaRay and render the same scene with YafaRay

that scene will be added to the sample scenes
