Thanks for the tips Mark :)
Also, to speed up removing your Unused Masters and Shaders, you can assign hot keys so you don't have to go through the menus everytime you need to clear them.
Go to File, Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts, then select Application for Context, and
Edit for Category. You can then input the shortcuts you like (I use the numbers 1 and 2)
and assign.
Have fun!
Thanks for the advice, Discoseven.
I knew about the temp folders and the object/shader removal, but have yet to actually customize my hotkeys (or anything else, lol, I'm running 'out of the box')
Both of these things, in my (limited) experience are very important, and I am thankful to be part of a community wherein people help each other.
Thanks, both of you.
Beyond file corruption issues, clearing out the DazTmp folders can free up a LOT of disk space...
The other day, I was trying to figure out why 5 gigs of free space on my hard drive had turned into "Your Hard Drive is dangerously low on space" message from XP... (I was down to 90 Megs!!) Turned out my Daztmp directory was sitting there with some seriously large files... deleted them and all's well. Now after every session of Carrara, I pop in there and delete.
The clear unused shaders and objects thing was new to me. Extra handy since every time you apply a new mat pose to a model, it builds new shaders and leaves the other ones behind.
Thanks for the advice!
For windows people. http://forum.daz3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=101670
No need to think outside the box....
Just make it
invisible.
Quote - Is one of the problems it causes anerror when you try to change the master shader of an object and an other similar error with the shading module cpp file?
Update.
I keep getting this stupid error. Why put an error message in to pop up if it tells you nothing about what actually went wrong... Sorry, but error messages like this cheese me off to no end. I still can't change the shader for a shading domain without it giving me this error.
Holy frijoles, I just had 40 GB of space in my Tmp folder! O.O Not to mention I almost had to redo one of my recent pictures because of corruption. I couldn't understand it until now.
bows to the almighty Mark I really ought to visit these forums more often.

Hi All, There have been some recent threads here and at the DAZ forum about file corruption due to contents left in your DazTmp folder. It doesn't happen to everybody but has happened to some. So, be safe and periodically delete the contents of this folder. ---- On a separate note, prior to rendering or saving a file, go to Edit => Remove Unused Masters => Shaders and Objects. Doing this will prevent occasional Carrara crashes or strange render behavior. Happy rendering! Mark
