How to set Spot Render Spotrender to New Window by default. [SOLVED]

AbnerK

There's two threads for this but, I thought, since I've had a crash and lost my data that I'd create this as a quick easy way for people to add this function from my personal experience of it. I don't seem to be able to add attachments for some reason these days so:

Go to your folder

\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\

look to see if you have the file layout.dsa.

If you don't have then open a text editor and enter this:

__________________

// DAZ Studio version 0.0.0.0 filetype DAZ Script

MainWindow.getViewportMgr().findTool("DzSpotRenderTool").setIsNewWindow(true);

_________________________

Save it in:

\your-user-name\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\Studio4\

as layout.dsa

if daz is open it will only take effect when you restart it.

 

If you already have a version of layout.dsa then open that file in a text editor and add this text under the header,

MainWindow.getViewportMgr().findTool("DzSpotRenderTool").setIsNewWindow(true);

save and close it.

It should work next time you open Daz. There won't be a check in the Tool Pain when you have the Spot Render Tool selected but, it should still work.

Here's the original thread I got the line of text from. :

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I'm so tired of spot render rendering in the preview window, it's completely useless in all of my cases XD

Oh, long live the bug, haha ~~ Though I rarely use SpotRender, I always like the way of modifying *.dsxxxx file.

yeah, I never ever used spot render for anything but fixing a render. It should be default.

Oh YES... THANKS.

Can I get such "codeline" also for "Pin at BOTH" for my Activepose?

 

Edit:

Tried it, in Daz 4.20 doesn't work ;(

That is my Script:

// DAZ Studio version 0.0.0.0 filetype DAZ ScriptMainWindow.getViewportMgr().findTool("DzSpotRenderTool").setIsNewWindow(true);var oFileInfo = new DzFileInfo( getScriptFileName() );var sLayoutName = "dual screen setup 1.3.21";if( oFileInfo.baseName() === sLayoutName ){	var oActionMgr = MainWindow.getActionMgr();	var oPaneMgr = MainWindow.getPaneMgr();		var sPath = String( "%1/actions/%2.dsx" ).arg( oFileInfo.path() ).arg( sLayoutName );	oActionMgr.loadInterfaceFile( sPath, false );		sPath = String( "%1/menus/%2.dsx" ).arg( oFileInfo.path() ).arg( sLayoutName );	oActionMgr.loadInterfaceFile( sPath, false );		sPath = String( "%1/toolbars/%2.dsx" ).arg( oFileInfo.path() ).arg( sLayoutName );	oPaneMgr.removeAllToolBars();	oActionMgr.loadInterfaceFile( sPath, false );		oPaneMgr.setOrientTabsAlongTop( false );	oPaneMgr.setUseWorkflowAssistance( false );	oPaneMgr.setShowLessonStrip( false );	oPaneMgr.enableActivityBar( false );		oActionMgr.saveInterfaceFiles();}

It keeps the checkbox on "Viewport".
