🐛 Fixes:

• BakeMaster to see objects in isolation mode (sovanima on Discord, issue52).
• $texsetname in batch name didn't work properly (creepererer on Discord, issue56).
• Error when using "triangulate lowpoly" and a cage (numity on Discord, issue59).
• Can't set extrusion higher than 1 (hard limits issue) (marcovivirito on Discord, issue65).
• "Bake this" disables rendering of the rest of objects in BakeMaster (fairplex on Discord, issue66).
• Bake result was not saved in Blender 4.0.
• Bakes in Blender 4.0 are darker than the colors on highpolies.
