Daz Temp directory

Is there any way for an external program to find the daz tmp directory setting? It is set in the F2 preferences screen. And a script can find it with App.getTempPath(). But I'm running outside of Daz Studio. I'm guessing it's compressed inside some file in the appdata directory.

    Depends on the program, but because this is a "hidden" folder, it's often ignored by most programs.

    If you change the "File explorer options" to enable "Show hidden files, folders and drives", the program may be able to find it 

    Note: this can be "risky" exposing these items, proceed at your own risk.

    What exactly are you trying to do?

    I assume the aim is to have an app/script get the location of the temp folder so that something can be done with it by the app/script. I think it may be a registry key, but I am not certain.

    I didn't think Daz used the registry for some reason. I just assumed there was some platform independent system for saving all this data.

    There's a ton of sub folders/keys... Most of it is dialog defaults, including plugin and script defaults.

    And it is here: \\\Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DAZ\Studio6\TempFilesDir

    Thanks.
