Anyone have a simple 'Save on Render' script?

[Anyone have a simple 'Save on Render' script?] Title says it all. This seems like an easy win, but I haven't had the time to make it work on my own.

Even better would be a 'Save THEN Render' script since Saving can take so long that I sometimes forget to come back to start the render

Premier membership  gives access to an Auto Save feature, which will do that among other things. Currently in the Public Build (Beta) only https://www.daz3d.com/blog/daz-studio-4-23-1-27-public-build

Also, from the thread Useful Feature: "Save & Render"

This could be scripted, and Rob has even provided links to get you started:

http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/actions/action_find_classname/start
http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/actions/action_trigger/start

Once you have a script you can then make it a custom action, right-click on its fiel in the Content Library pane, to have it in the Scripts menu and then use Window>Workspace>Customise to add it to another menu or tool bar.

The actions you want to call are DzSaveAction and DzRenderAction

Hoiwever, don't take advantage of the noted capacity to save while a render is happening - it isn't safe (to do, or to rely on being possible in future builds).

​Thank you for the link. Apparently I need to swap back to Google search since it actually had a link to that post that I couldn't find on DuckDuckGo. *Sigh*
