Where are Custom Workspaces saved please?

Wilmap

Have had to reinstall all programs after a complete PC rebuild and update to Windows 10.

I want to get my old workspace back for Daz Studio. I still have the old drive it was originally installed to, so can I get to the saved workspaces or not?

C:/Users/YOU/AppData/Roaming/DAZ 3D/Studio4/user layouts/ on Windows. On a Mac I think it's Application Support/DAZ 3D/Studio4/user layouts/. The current layout is in the Studio4 folder as several .dsx files - actions, customactions, layout, menus, and toolbars. As I recall(from a month back) there is something a bit quirky about restoring the current layout - I think it initially gave me the limited Full Service tool set and preferences rather than the full range as it should, not sure how I fixed that or if I had to reload my saved layout.

Thank you Richard. That will save me some work.

Frustratingly, Daz Studio has today decided to reset my carefully calibrated custom layout and overwrite it. That'll teach me to save it especially and put it into a backup drive.

Thank you, Mr. Haseltine!  I copied my workspace from a different computer via Dropbox.

There are sample scripts that would help, for compressing/decompressing files and for creating a script that will recreate the layout on a different release channel of DS/different system.
