What's this CLEARING THE SCENE ?

You spend 8 hours on DAZ Studio and you want to go to bed so you QUIT DAZ Studio and you get this message CLEARING THE SCENE.  Then you have to sit there and wait for DAZ Studio to CLEAR THE SCENE.  Why?  It's a total waste of time.  We never had to CLEAR THE SCENE before.  Why now?  When anyone clicks QUIT on software it's suppose to QUIT.  That's what QUIT means.  But it doesn't quit.  And you sit there.  Watching the slowest QUIT in computer history.

    So, and this is true of everything programs especially on a Mac, when you do something, a lot of things happen. For example, you may save temporary files, swap hard disk space for memory, keep information for undoing. When you quit, the program returns that disk space, clears caches, writes important information to your directory, relinquishes memory. Otherwise, everything else you did after quitting would access to less and less memory and hard disk space.  This is why force quitting is bad.

    This has been the case for years, so I am confused that you are only seeing it now. If your scene has very little in it, it will close quickly, but large scenes will take an age. The app seems to delete each item individually then recovers the resources for them before quitting, which I agree makes no sense whatsoever. Some variables like screen layout are saved as the app dies, so in theory you are not supposed just kill the app using the Task Manger (or MAC equivalent). However that is the only way to shut it down quickly, as it effectively does the same as an app crash.
