Description
Motivation
currently, you have to manually capture deformation of objects before transferring/simulating, which may be a bit cumbersome if you have multiple groups that have deformation, and having to do it repeatedly when making adjustments also adds to the burden.
Proposal
make the deformation capture be done automatically when pressing transfer, and have the "progress info" text display "capturing deformation for x object" when doing so. now, I'm no physics engineer but i really don't find a reason to have to do this manually. also while writing this i had a weird thought that said to have a debug option to "overwrite automatic deformation capture" for some reason, if this is ever to be implemented.

Research direction
Start by tracing the transfer operation and its existing manual deformation-capture path. Check how progress info is updated, then make transfer perform capture and report "capturing deformation for x object"; done when repeated transfers no longer require manual capture and the progress text appears.
