Custom settings, where are they ? [solved... kind of]

mikael-aronsson

When I right click on a script and select add custom action I get a menu item in the "Script" menu nice and fine, but when I shutdown DS and restart it the Script menu is gone so where are these settings stored ? maybe the file is messed up or something because all my short cuts are gone also, nothing there, I can add short cuts again but when I exit DS and start it again it's all gone.

I can't see anything strange in the log file either.

Are those settings in a file or in the database ?

Update: Ok, I found the custom actions in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\customactions.dsx, and actions.dsx look like it could be the short cuts but there are only short cuts for  <ViewAccelerators> nothing else, should they be in there ?

Final update: Ok, it look like I have to save the layout to save all settings, but the remaining question is where did all my short cuts go in the first place ?

DS should be saving these settings on exit - it sounds as if you are force closing DS, or as if it is crashing before completing the shut-down process. Manually saving the layout is a work around, but you shouldn't be having to do that.

I restored the default shortcuts and after that it looks like it is working ok, and I don't need to manually save either so maybe just some weird hickup.
