Keep closing Daz3D and losing renders

Microsoft Word has been able to ask you if you want to quit without saving since forever. What's up with Daz3D? 

I have ADD, this week I closed Daz3D without saving the render for the 3rd time. I'm heartbroken. Since it doesn't crash it doesn't save to the temp folder and Save last render option is just useless if you closed Daz3D. The render library doesn't have anything ever and I have rendered many times. Whats is the render library for?

Please help me find a solution to my problem. I don't want to recover my last render I know I can't. How can I stop losing my renders please?

    DS will prompt if you have changed the scene, but not for unsaved renders. The images, in .png format, will be in

    %AppData%/daz 3d/Studio4/Temp/Render/

    after a crash - unfortunately a proper close will sually clear that folder.

    This should probably be a 'feature request' for DAZ Studio: something to preserve the last render (or the last few renders) across a restart.

    Vue has the notion of a 'render stack', which is effectively just a folder containing the last few renders. By default, there's a size limit (user-configurable) on how much disk space the stack can take up: if you hit the limit, it prompts you to decide whether you want to allocate more space, throw away older renders, or just ignore the latest render (i.e. not adding it to the stack). Having Vue continually nag me to ask me what I want to do is a bit annoying, but it's probably less annoying than losing a multi-hour render because you hit Quit when you didn't mean to.

    Have you been saving your scenes? Keep in mind that DAZ|Studio is different from art programs like Photoshop; scenes and renders are two different things that need to be saved separately.

    As for the render library, it isn't an auto-save, it won't keep your render unless you press the "Save" button after the render's stopped.

    Yes,I save my scenes and NO they aren't stored in the temp folder cause I close DAZ3D myself, this is a nightmare with someone with real concentration issues.

    How do I set the render library on autosave sounds like that's exactly what I need to do? For some reason, it only saved the first 3 renders I made some time ago and that was it.
