What are you saving, a scene file? What exactly is the program asking you? FYI, Daz is the company, Studio is the program I believe you mean.
It's daz studio. I open a project called "Bob" or whatever and can hit command-s or command-q to quit out of the program, I get a dialogue box asked (demanding really there is no option) to create a "filtered save". There is no option in terms of if this is saving as a Scene or Scene subset or any of that.
Scene is the basic document - it's what File>Save (cmd/ctrl-s) does, and what DS prompts you to do if you exit the applciation with unsaved (as a scene) changes. The others are specialised content, not the basic save.
But what is a "filtered save" This essentially forces me to create a duplicate of a scene....or to save it again under the same name and approve the overwrite of the original project.
I closed my main drive to an SSD and this is one a few quirks I'm experiencing.
"Filtered save" isn't important here - I'm not sure why it is saying that.
Do you have your name (real or assumed) set as author in Edit>Preferences? Save will only update an existing file if the author name of the file matches the author name in the application - that's a guard against accidentally overwriting content files.
