    After reading the following thread, I try to leran the setting of "preference" of DAZ.
    Then I tab the "Reset Factory Defaults" in order to restore Factory Defaults setting.

    PS: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/30260

    And then DAZ ask me to restart the DAZ and I did it.
    After restarting DAZ, there are a lot of functions are lost!

    For example, "save as..."
    PS: as shown in the attached.

    With you on a Mac I'm not sure. But try Window and Workspace> Select Layout. Looks like you are in the Default one. That might fix it. Try City Limits or Hollywood

    Thank you, Jaderail.

    It works.


    BTW, my suggestion for DAZ Studio is
    1. please putting the "Layout" setting in "Preferences".
    2. please keeps "Preferences" always in the same place!

    Preferences may be in the Edit menu, as they are on Windows. The Window menu to control layout and panes seems to be standard on both Mac and Windows as far as I can tell, in which case that is in the right place, but a feature request to move preferences would be sensible (assuming it's still in the "wrong" place after reloading your layout).

    not a good idea.
    The Preferences are exactly where they should be (Macintosh HD:Library:Preferences:Com.Daz.Studio* and ...Users:Username:com.daz.Studio*.plist) and the layout should remain separate from the preferences, otherwise they will bloat the prefs file heightening the possibility of a corruption and it becomes a guessing game to a technician if it's the layout or some other unrelated setting that caused the issue and the user is forced to recreate their layouts since they no longer have a usable file to reference.

    I think the request was to put the Preferences menu command in the same place - which for Macs is, I believe, in the application menu rather than the edit menu.

    Thanks for translating. Preferences can be a loaded word on a Mac

    Whatever, please keep "Preference" in the same place...., never hide it.

    It is not hidden unless you set DAZ Studio to BASIC (Default settings) USER layout. And only the Advanced layouts/Styles show all the menus and sub menus. DAZ Studio 4+ has always been set up to open in BASIC USER at first start. Setting it back to Default sets it back to BASIC.
