Kill Daz. :D

[Abad]

Surely, DS hangs on you many times. Other times, you close it, and it continues to be active in "processes", deleting I don't know what the hell... And it can take minutes: More than desired.
I offer you this script (Put it in the "scripts" folder of your shared directory, although it is simply a bat file, I have passed it to exe to be able to put it in the taskbar. Windows systems only. Perhaps the antivirus will tell you that it is malware: False positive. If not, copy the kill.bat to desktop, and fixed...)
We are in a hurry! Just kill DS! 😀

I know Daz hangs around in the background for about a minute for me. Do you know what it's doing?

I'm wondering whether Daz is doing something important in the background. Freeing up allocated RAM, for example. I appreciate you posting this killswitch, but are there any downsides to ending Daz early?

Thanks Abad. DS hangs in processes all the time when I close unless it's an extremely light scene. I generally just close DS and kill the process before I open again. I'll give your script a go... thanks again.

Nothing! 😀
In C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/DAZ 3D/dson/cache better clear.
Copy this as text, and rename KilCacheDaz.vbs
--------------------

' Set up the scripting environment
Option Explicit
Const oSrc = "C:\Users\YOURUSERNAMECHANGETHIS\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\dson\cache\data"
Dim Text, Title
Dim WSH, FSO, oFolders, oFolder, oSubFolders ' Object variables
Dim oFileCount, oFolderCount, oFiles, oCount
Text = "Folders" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
' Dialog title (inc. vanity bit)
Title = "CacheDAZ File Deleter"

' Create Windows Scripting Host Shell object
Set WSH = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Create FileSystem object to access the file system.
Set FSO = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Delete the folder (forcibly, to handle read-only attributes) then re-create it
FSO.DeleteFolder oSrc,True
FSO.CreateFolder oSrc

'Free memory used by objects
Set WSH = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing

WScript.Quit()

-----------------------
Then apply in shutdown scripts in policy editor.
