Automated Baking - Maya SBM exporter

I'm using xNormal to automate baking AO maps and everything is working great except for one thing. The Maya SBM exporter throws a dialog box when it successfully exports a mesh, and it requires the user to manually click the ok button. I can't find a way to disable the dialog box, and it would be really useful if the artist didn't have to baby-sit the computer while it batches through all the scenes.
Is there a way to disable the pop-up dialog? If there isn't, it would be a nice option to add.
Thanks
I am using python. I'm just using the "file" command, in the "maya.cmds" module.
Normally the "file" command uses the "prompt" flag, a boolean input, to disable prompting dialogs. It's probably just a simple matter of skipping the dialog-box code if that flag is set to false.
I'll take a look for the next release. Thanks.
Excellent! I'd love to get this change too. It would be awesome if there would a "total quiet" mode for xnormal in Command line mode too. Currently there's sometimes warnings popping up (like when the mesh is too small)
I'm writing an automated pipeline using xNormal 3.17.13 and it appears that there's still a dialog popping up with the following:
"Warning: The highpoly model radius is less than two units(2.0), please scale it a bit up if you get bad results"
Is there any way to run xNormal from the command-line such that this warning (and all or most others) is suppressed?
/quiet ?
Strange. That warning should not appear in batch mode. I bet I should take a look to the code then. Thanks for reporting it !
Thanks, that would be great!

Nope, there is no option do disable the dialog.
Byw, are you calling it using python?
