YafaRay4tS v1.0.0

[trueBlue]

Hurray!
Couple of small tweaks
Sun Sky - Select button renamed to Sun Light and moved the buttons down one row
Add titles to the Sun Sky Preview, Background Light, and Sun Light panels

[trueBlue]

Edit
Background Type: Sun Sky
With Sun Sky - Disabled
Create Preview
Creates a Sun Sky Object without a DirectionalSun light
Same for Darktide

Is there a use for this preview setup?

Edit: If I understand correctly, it looks like its use is for a BG Light Only light setup
So, you have to uncheck Sun Sky, Night, and enable BG Light when using Sun Sky or Darktide BG types
Unfortunately, if you do not set it up correctly, you get a Preview with no light except the Ambient light
Then there is the unfortunate Sun Sky or Darktide setup that can include the BG Light which totally wrecks the setup because it is so bright!
Seems like an impossible scripting task to control all three light setups

Also, the sun dial does not honor the Scene ORA

Edit: Added Background setup buttons
Night, Day, Background, and Constant
Makes it easier to setup the different types of light setups

.
Exported the Ignore layer attributes from the indicator objects
Disabled by default
Enable to show objects Edges

Attached is a YafaRay4tS Utilities node with the copy animation

Copies animations for cameras, lights, volumes and the YafaRay4tS node.
The camera panel convert button was already copying the animations.
