Good to know Sid, thanks! You're quite welcome, wolfenspiel, and I hope it's helpful. On the off chance anyone else thinks they would benefit from the Purge Memory script, you
should be able to find it under Daz Studio Formats>Content>Scripts>Utilities. It's useful for (mostly) clearing the cache, which Daz likes to leave stuff in, pretty much constantly.
Obvious but important notes:
This also purges your undo list, so make sure you mean it if you use it.
It will not always clear the cache of various plugins, but does so in most instances for most of them (Octane plugin is a notable exception, though not too popular with slightly-less-than-paying-full-price-up-front people, it seems)
It can take a long time to clear out figures in particular, which occasionally leads to hanging Daz Studio (example: delete 5 G3Fs at once, then try purge memory, and the same goes for large, nested groups of objects/instances)
It's a decent counter to the memory leak seemingly inherent in all versions of Daz Studio, but you can only plug a leak so much before it's probably better to just close and restart anyway. Gives you quite a bit more leeway though.
Oh, and keep a copy somewhere outside of your Daz installation directories. Daz likes to delete it or not install it correctly for some reason when you update Studio, even though it's a Daz written script. Go fig. If you use DIM to install studio, find the zip of it (or re-download it, if the script is missing for you, you should have backups anyway
), and it's in there in the location indicated above (minus the Daz Studio Formats bit, obviously). I'd post it, but it's a very short script. Three lines of code, with one line being the description of what it does, in fact. But those three lines follow the 15 lines of copyright saying not copy or duplicate it and whatnot, and it's not worth the potential hassle for something everyone should have already anyway, though it may not be where it should, and most new people using Daz Studio probably don't even realize it exists.
