Render History after shutdown

3dOutlaw

So last night I started a long render, and when I woke up, Windows 10 had made some updates, and rebooted.  I am not sure if/when the render completed.  

I wanted to see if it may be stored somewhere???  Any thoughts on that?  If its gone, any way I can make renders auto-save when complete, and not be cleared out on restart on reboot?

Don't restart Studio...and look in your Studio temp folder.  Sometimes when Studio 'crashes' things get left in there until you restart.

It should be somewhere similar to...

C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4

Cool, it was in there under /RenderAlbumTmp, thanks for the tip!  :)  There were some other really old renders as well...

Most of the time when Studio is shut down it will clear out the temp, but when a crash or OS forces a shutdown, the folder may not be cleared until a restart...and sometimes the RenderTemp won't clear any further than the most recent items in it.

So is there any way I can make renders auto-save when complete (maybe to a target folder of my choosing), and not be cleared out on restart on reboot?

I don't think there is....

Under Rendes Setting, there's "Post Process Script", where you can select a script. Could that be used for something like this?

That would be easy if it took BAT scripts, such as:

MOVE C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\temp\RenderAlbumTmp\* c:\temp\Daz_Scenes

...but apparently it only takes .dsa/.dse/.dsb format    sooo....
