Studio wants me to keep Re-Naming My Scenes?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

Every time I go to the menu and hit Save -- NOT "Save As" -- DAZ Studio seems to ignore it and act like I hit Save As. I must rename my scene or go through the trouble of typing the entire name again, just to get it to save. I tried looking in preferences but can't seem to find anything to fix it.

This has been happening ever since I updated to 4.11.0.196, and probably before too, I don't remember.

 

Please assist ^-^

    In order to guard against overwriting store content DS will not do a save without asking for a filename if the Author of the loaded scene does not match the Author set in Edit>Preferences (Daz Studio>Preferences for a Mac). If you put something in the Author field your future saves should proceed without a prompt, though you will still need to give a name when resaving your exsiting scenes for the first time after the change.

    I don't understand how someone can "write over store content"? Anyway, why isn't it optional? Some users might not like it so much... I find it annoying, myself.

    If you loaded a scene from a different author, from a product, then saving over it might well stop the product from working. Just enter a name in the Author field - it can be anything, it's not asking for your real name (unless you want to use that).

    It is still prompting me as you said, after the first change. No way to disable that, right?

    It should prompt you if you save any scene not saved with the current author name.

    Yes that is what is so weird. I do have the Author filled out. I don’t need to do the website address too, right??

    And you are being prompted when resaving a file created since you entered the author name? No, only the author name has any functional significance.
