Is there a purge memory script for DS 4.9?

This thread http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/43383/how-to-clear-all-materials-from-a-figure-to-start-over ; mentions a purge memory script in Scripts > Utilities > Purge Memory.DSA. Does anyone know if there is an equivalent .duf script that can be used in 4.9? It would be useful so as not having to close and reopen DS to clear memory. I can't see this script under Utilities in my content library.

    That is strange as I have it in my  Scripts > Utilities > folder for 4.9

    Very strange...I wonder why I haven't got it?

    This is what I have in the Utilities folder

    I don't have some of those - I'll try redownloading and installling Default Resources for 4.9+ from my Product Library later and see if it's in there. Thanks very much Szark.

    yeah I was going to suggest that and my pleasure. Let us know how you get on.

    Just checked file manifest for default resources, and it's not from there ... and yes I, too, have the files Pete has

    I checked the Default Resources folder I've got downloaded on my laptop (downloadedf earlier this year) and the script is in there in the Utilities folder - so just need to get again on my PC.

    and does it work ?

  • Eva1Eva1 Posts: 1,249

    I'm not quite sure. Got it installed and ran it a few times. A dialogue box flashes up for a second but too quickly to see what it says. I did check Task Manager to see if there was any change in memory, but didn't see anything noticeable. I'd be interested to hear from others if they are finding it's working.

    well it was working in the previous version. I haven't used it in this version 4.9.2.7 Next time I have a big job I will see if it works.

    I just tested it and it works for me.

    For 2021/22 year tip:

    Go to Content Library / DAZ Studio format / My DAZ 3D library / Scripts / Utility - click on utility folder and on the right side panell  and choose Purge memory script.

    With right clicking on Purge memory thumbnail you can create a custom action inside Script top menu item and have this script always on the top for fast clearing of memory.

    Cheers!

    I found this pearl  at the begining of book: A primer for DAZ Studio by Anne Marie Rasmussen.  And tip is still working.
