Just curious: I'm noticing that (based on what I see in my Task Manager) the Daz Studio application keeps running in the background for several minutes after I close it down on my desktop. Why is this? What is it doing?
The thing I also notice is that the length of time DS continues to run after shutdown depends on the size of the scene and how much RAM it had been using.
I find myself wondering what it's doing. Time was I could actually have two instances running at the same time. Since 4.0, I have to wait until this 'spin-down' process has completed before relaunching.
I noticed that a while back. To get around that, I've started to just alt-f4 to close it in the last few weeks, since 90% of the time i'm closing it just because it's faster to close it and reopen it than it is to to load a new character.
Same thing happens to me Kayma and you're right, the bigger the scene the longer it takes. I just got into the habit of ending the task in TM before attempting a re-start.
Put an shortcut in the taskbar...
https://www.mediafire.com/file/xmpsxigza97g81b/Kill_DAZ.zip/fileI think it's clearing the cache. When creating a new scene when another scene is open, DS also takes a long time to clear the cache before opening a new empty scene. Killing DS via alt+f4 leaves gigabytes of cache somewhere on your disk. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's better not to do that.
I recommend that everyone browse the Daz forums every day or two. It only takes a few minutes to scan the new posts. This is an old and increasingly irritating problem. People have even made shutdown scripts for it. That corporate shill, Haseltine does nothing but make folks think that it's their fault, not the lousy and inept programming.
What caché? Daz only creates some Mb when you open the program..., but always the same in user/app data/roaming.
Perhaps, in Iray folder, but only in render (shaders, shadow maps, etc..). If is done, the possible cache is erased.
KILL the task is sure.Thanks a lot, Abad.
I thought it would be, but as the question was raised I thought I would ask for clarification.

Depending on how big the file. Sometimes I'll kill it ... others times doesn't bother me. Most of the time I have 4 Daz Windows open. I could open more, depending on how much RAM my system is using. For example I'm using 88% of my RAM (have 64GB).
