How do I get it to stop asking?

Ok, I load up DS and then go to load a scene I have already done because I wasn't to work on it or render it again or whatever. I have not changed ANYTHING, yet it asks me if I want to save changes... How do I get it to STOP ASKING... it's getting really annoying.

You have changed something. Not intentionally, though. You have created an Environmental Options node and a Tone Mapper Options node. How? By having the iRay render mode in the viewport. If you go to the texture mapped viewport mode before exiting, then the nodes won't be created when DS renders the empty scene, and so you can go to another scene without saving.

ETA: If you save a default scene with ONLY those two nodes in it, then it won't have changed when you want to open the next scene, even if you have iRay rendering in the viewport.
I don't remember ever saving a default scene. and it was on iray, but I click texture shaded and it still wants to save.
Are you sure you loaded it (e.g. from File>Recent) rather than merging a scene subset into a new, empty scene?
Simply moving the camera can trigger a save because it it is repositioned to a new location. Doing incremental saves is always a good idea with slightly changed names. You can always delete the older ones later. And generally save files are not that large.
I'll check this evening. I'm sure it worked for me.

Does it to me too with DS 4.15.0.2. I make DS load the last scene I have been working on, go do something else while waiting and when I come back, I have changed my mind about what I want to do and close the scene without doing anything with it -> DS asks if I want to save.
As far as I can remember, DS has asked that question all the time, every time.
Using texture shaded and the environment and tone mapping nodes are saved within the scene.
I start with a default scene and then load a scene I want to work on. Even if I have done nothing at all to the default scene it does ask (always) if I want to save it before loading the new scene. I also default to texture shaded and my default secne has environment and tonemapper nodes.
Someone can put in a feature request to see if they will change the behavior of it.
Hah! I wish we were allowed polls here. I would love to know how many, if any, feature requests have ever been implemented. I mean directly because of a request rather than normal developmental work. I understand why (or rather, why not) ... if it were a fruitful means of getting desirables included, then the devs would be inundated with requests. I'd rather DAZ devs occasionally browsed this forum to get a feel for what their customers want or what is not working for them. Perhaps they could even comment on those conversations which might make us all feel like we are not being totally ignored.
Yes, always prompts. I just look at it as a safety feature in case I get carried away & forget to save. Even if Saved & closeing DS. "Would you like to save?" Sure, why not.
If I load DAZ studio and shut it down without doing anything, it asks me if I want to save the file.
Almost every program I use does something like that... If you open the wrong file because you forget what something is/looks like or are trying to find a particular earlier version, you have to keep going through that "Save Changes?" Or "Close Without Saving Changes"... or the worst one "Changes have been made... close without saving"... No, no changes have been made other than I'm now significantly more annoyed after being asked that twenty times in a row...
I literally open the file without even touching the mouse or anything and it'll ask that...
I have some image editing app on the iPad that just closes the file if you exit and haven't touched anything... I was thrown off by that... it felt like something was broken because it did what I asked it to.
Compooters.
None of my other software does this. When I use Microsoft Office, video and photo editing software, Libre Office, and I am apparently the only person in the world still using Dreamweaver, all of them just close the file with no questions if there are no changes. Only DAZ Studio insists on acting as if it changed. I do have a different file from the default one set as the default. I know that made sense. Maybe you have to have the default default file for it to realize you didn't do anything. And never mind how Google Docs just saves your file every time you make a change. It's kind of like having a forum that saves your post as a draft without you clicking on Save Draft.
Most likely Daz uses a very simple mechanism -: if there's a undo on the stack ( means ' you've done something ' ), DS must ask you that question... So no matter you load a scene or merge something into the scene, there's a Undo stacked. But a brand new scene with Ctrl + N creates no Undo, so it keeps silent...
