Face Transfer Using Temp Folder

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I created a couple of characters with the new Face Transfer, saved the scene to my hard drive, and later when to open it and I'm getting this:

c:/users/brent/appdata/roaming/daz 3d/studio4/temp/face transfer/generate/14737/g8fbasearmsmapd_1004.jpg
c:/users/brent/appdata/roaming/daz 3d/studio4/temp/face transfer/generate/14737/g8fbaseeyes01_1007.jpg
c:/users/brent/appdata/roaming/daz 3d/studio4/temp/face transfer/generate/14737/g8fbasefacemapd_1001.jpg
c:/users/brent/appdata/roaming/daz 3d/studio4/temp/face transfer/generate/14737/g8fbaselegsmapd_1003.jpg
c:/users/brent/appdata/roaming/daz 3d/studio4/temp/face transfer/generate/14737/g8fbasemouthmapd_1005.jpg
c:/users/brent/appdata/roaming/daz 3d/studio4/temp/face transfer/generate/14737/g8fbasetorsomapd_1002.jpg

Why in the world would it store needed files to a folder whose content is going to disappear when you close DAZ?

Anyone else running in to this?  (This is on the purchased version of Face Transfer.)

I've also opened a ticket as I'm able to recreate this.

    You need to explicitly save the face using the function in the Face Transfer pane - the purchased version doesn't change this (you wouldn't want it to save every face, no matter how unsuccessful), it just removes the limit on how many times you can do so.

    DANG IT!  I knew that.

    While I feel like an idiot, I think what they should do is if you close the current scene, attempt to exit DAZ, or do a new it alerts you with a message saying, "Are you sure you want to exit?  You haven't saved a face in Face Transfer."

    P.S. "If you make it idiot proof, only idiots will use it," is what a friend use to say to me back in my coding days.

    Final comment:  I went back and re-tested, and yes, that's what I was failing to do.

    Thank you for your expertise Richard.  You're speedy reply was greatly appreciated.
