Crucial Toolbag app settings related to software updates, autosaving, UI, and content management can be found and modified in the Edit > Preferences (Ctrl+,) window.

App #

Modify software update and default scene settings.

Setting	Description
Check for Updates	Determines whether or not you will be prompted to install new updates. If enabled, Toolbag will check for new versions every time it opens.
Beta Updates	Toolbag will check for and update to the latest beta builds when they are available. Enable this if you want to test out the latest features under development. Note that beta builds may have bugs and are not recommended for production environments. Restart Toolbag for this to take effect.
Remember Window Position	If enabled, UI windows will load with the last known position and size.
Tablet-Friendly Input	Enables enhanced tablet compatibility. This setting can sometimes solve issues with tablet input and disables some mouse features.
Prompt for Unsaved Changes	If enabled, you will be prompted to save any unsaved work when closing a scene.
Display Tooltips	Disables the helpful little tooltip boxes. Pro-moves only.
Startup Scene	Selects whether, on startup, Toolbag will open a blank scene, the last opened scene, or the template scene.
New Scenes	Determines whether new scenes are empty or created from the template scene.
Tablet Backend	The default backend when using a digitizer, defaults to the latest available to your operating system.

Content #

Adjust how the app handles the assets.

Setting	Description
Browse for Missing Files	Displays prompt to locate missing external files, such as textures and animations, during scene loads.
Browse for Missing Meshes	Displays prompts to locate missing external meshes during scene loads.
Auto-Reload Textures	Changed textures will be automatically reloaded when Toolbag regains focus.
Auto-Reload Model References	Model files will be automatically reloaded when Toolbag regains focus. This only applies to external model references. Models not imported as references will not reload.
Import Model As References	Model files will import as file references instead of simply grouped objects. This allows for quick in-place model reloading. Note that disabling this feature will prevent animated meshes from being imported.
Import Materials with Models	Model files will import along with any available material definitions, including textures and other parameters where available.
Existing Materials	Action that should be taken when materials import with a duplicate name to one currently in the scene.
Default Tangent Space	Sets the tangent space that will be applied to meshes when imported. Choose the application that you most frequently use to bake normal maps.
Default Tangent Orientation	Newly created bake and texture projects will default to this tangent space handedness.
Default Units	Determines which unit system to use for new scenes. This setting should match the unit setting in your 3D modeling application.

Autosave #

Modify software update and default scene settings.

Setting	Description
Autosave Scenes	Automatically save a backup of your scene to the autosave folder at the specified time interval.
Save Relative to Scene	Creates autosave files in the same folder as your current scene. The Max Saves and Max Autosave Folder Size settings do not apply when this is option enabled.
Autosave Path	Determines the folder that backups are saved in.
Timer (mins)	Determines how often autosaving occurs.
Max Saves	Determines the maximum number of autosaves to keep for a given scene. Older autosaves will be deleted when this value is exceeded. Using a value of 0 will retain all files.
Max Autosave Folder Size	The maximum amount of space the autosave folder can use. Older autosaves will be deleted when the total size of the folder exceeds this value.
Max Size Units	Determines whether the Maximum Autosave Folder Size is set in GBs (gigabytes) or MBs (megabytes).
Usage	The size of the autosave folder.
Clear	Delete all files in the autosave folder.
Open Autosaves Folder	Open the autosave folder location using the file explorer.

Library #

The following options allow you to customize your Library configurations and file paths.

Setting	Description
Automatic Updates	Automatically update assets when a new version is available.
Downloads	Determine the path where first-party library content is stored.
User Files	Determine the path where user third-party library content is stored.

GPU #

Optimize performance by adjusting GPU settings for a smoother experience. 

Setting	Description
GPU Timeout (secs)	Allows for the adjustment of the Windows GPU “timeout” setting. Increasing this value can improve stability with complex scenes in some cases. A value between 10 to 30 seconds is recommended.
Apply	Applies the Windows GPU “timeout” value.
Revert	Resets the Windows GPU timeout setting to the default of 2 seconds. This may negatively affect stability for complex scenes.
Baker Priority	Select a usage priority for the GPU during texture baking. Higher priorities will bake more quickly but may leave other programs somewhat unresponsive. A system experiencing instability or sluggishness during baking may benefit from use of the “Responsive” setting.
Ray Tracing	Select a ray tracing engine for rendering and baking. “Accelerated” attempts to provide the best performance and makes use of new GPU features such as NVIDIA’s RTX. “Generic” works on all GPUs but is not as fast. Changing this setting requires an app restart.
Selective VSync	Selective VSync disables monitor synchronization during viewport ray tracing accumulation. This improves performance in some cases but may cause screen artifacts.

Output #

Setting	Description
Output Path	Sets the default directory where rendered images are saved when creating a new scene.
Show Watermark by Default	Determines whether or not the “Rendered in Marmoset Toolbag” watermark is enabled when creating a new scene.
