Show elapsed time

Default: Disabled

How much time it takes to run an action?

Each action have it’s own complexity and the time that it will need to complete will depend on this particular complexity and some particular aspects from your setup (screen resolution, number of monitors, etc…)
You can enable the “Show elapsed time” option to get a prompt in the helpline when an action have finished:

Full screen lookup

Default: Disabled

By default spGhost only detects the content that are physically inside of the Substance Painter main window but, we know that you may want to have some panels located outside the main window or in a second or third monitor so, you can set the “Full screen lookup” to allow spGhost to detect content from all your screen space (of all monitors).
Please note that this will need some extra processing time so be considered and check this option only if needed.

By default spGhost will only detect inside the green area. With “Full screen lookup” enabled will also detect the ones in the red area, even if they are in a different monitor.

Open/Show properties after adding effect

Default: Disabled

Enabling this option will automatically open the properties panel if it’s closed or it will show it up if it’s docked in a secondary position at the end of an action that adds a layer effect.

Reset search after selecting an asset

Default: Disabled

If this option is enabled, whenever an asset is selected, the searchbox of the asset manager will be reseted

Show

Default: Enabled

If it’s enabled, the custom action buttons will be displayed in the gui

Show custom action buttons only

Default: Disabled

If enabled, only the custom action buttons will be visible in the spGhost GUI. (If this option it’s enabled and the “Show” option is disabled, spGhost will be setted to “Collapsed mode” automatically)

Use small buttons

Default: Disabled

If enabled, the custom action buttons will be rendered in a smaller version
