Update:

fixed 3 bugs found by trueblue

bake keys with nothing selected
button typo
key interpolation button not working with UU key interpolation code

Found some issues with the bake keyframes script. No new installer yet.

The bake process was limited to only existing keyframes on the object. Any motion created by scripts was not captured.

New "Copy World Matrix" option. Motion animations are only created for the Matrix, so if a script effects only the World Matrix it will not be captured. This option copies the world matrix into the matrix before creating a key frame.

New "Script Undo" option. A script that controls the object motion may generate 1 or more undos when it is run. This adds those to the total undo count for the Undo button.

Couple of notes:

reactive constraint needs the Copy World Matrix and generates 0 undos
general constraint does not need the Copy World Matrix and generates 1 undo for each run

Update

new installer with previous bake keyframes fix plus updated the anim panel to match the uu version

[clintonman]

Update:

second update of the day

fixes a bug in the bake keys undo system
improved ui for the bake keys panel

[clintonman]

Update, no new installer yet:

Bake Undo has a timer that limits running the Undo function to within 2 minutes.
Bug is that it started the time at the bake start instead of the bake end.

Other changes:
added expire time to the cancel and end messages
added "press esc to cancel" to the progress bar

Dev changes:
Disconnected Key Counter node StartBakeFrame
Undo node - renamed StartBakeTime to EndBakeTime and converted it from an int to a string
All script nodes were changed except for the Set Animation Frame node

[clintonman]

Update, no installer yet

changed the undo time limit to 1 minute, 2 minutes seemed a little excessive

at the end of the undo time limit the undo history length will be restored to it's original value before the bake was run

[clintonman]

New installer released with previous changes and a few changes ported over from the UU version.

Would it be possible to create a couple scripts?
1.) Play from the PlayRangeStart to the PlayRangeEnd and Stop (Play Play Range)
This would have to jump to the PlayRangeStart value instead of the Start Frame
2.) Play from the StartFrame to the EndFrame and Stop (Play Timeline)

Not sure, I'll get back to you.
