Saving custom render settings as default - Daz 4.23

I need a little help. I have created a custom workspace and that is opening as default as it should. But for some reason it does not load the custom render settings with the layout.

Any idea how I can make that happen? I have created a custom render setting and saved it, I just don't want to load every time I open Daz.

    Custom Render Settings belongs to no Layout... i.e. saving a Workspace > Layout has nothing to do with your Render Settings. I recommend a flexible way:

    1) Save your custom Render Settings firstly as a Render Settings Preset.duf to your preset folder, let's say: E:/DAZ3D Library/Presets/Render Settings/My Render Settings.duf
    2) Window > Panes > Script IDE. Put this line of code into Script IDE: Scene.loadScene("E:/DAZ3D Library/Presets/Render Settings/My Render Settings.duf", Scene.MergeFile); The string in red is the path+file of your saved Render Settings Preset!  (in screenshot 1)
    3) Script IDE > File > Save Script As... to your Daz Library, let's say:  E:/DAZ3D Library/Scripts/Loading My Presets.dsa
    4) Press F2 in DS, go to Startup tab, configure the script into On "Launch" > Load File. (screenshot 2). Then go to Scene tab, do the same into On "New" > Load File (screenshot 3)

    Then Accept, relaunch DS.

    In this way, you can freely place any Presets into the above Script as needed. Each time you launch DS, create New scene, the presets will be loaded as default.

    I set up a blank scene with all my render settings and save it as a scene called _default scene. I then go to Edit/Preferences/Startup click on Load file to select it and then click on the Breadcrumb and select the file from where I saved it to. Next move to the Scene Tab in the same window and under On New/Load File select the same file, go to the bottom of that window and select Accept. close the window and restart Studio and it should now load that empty scene with all your render settings. I also save the Render Settings and then add them to the Script Menu so that if something when loaded changes the settings I just go there and select mine.
