OK. I’m not sure how Andy collects them, but it could probably be done fairly easily automatically. Depends mostly on how consistent the data layout is in the store.
If I could ask for one feature, it would be the way to create an auxiliary database to put the items that won’t come up in a sales report in.
Not sure what you mean here?
Oh. What I meant was this - I have a bunch of Daz product that I didn’t get through the Daz store. Some of it came on freebie discs in magazines and books, some came on line sources, like the old Daz Freepository and forums, some came packed in various versions of the software, like the subdragon and the base aldorah hair, and a lot came from 3rd party sites like 3Dworld. In addition, I picked up the Aiko and Hiro megasets at a con on DVD (with T-shirts,) the Reby Sky resources pack was given to me at Siggraph, and, well, you get the idea. A whole lot of product that I own that the Daz website has no record of, totaling about 700 assets or so. That’s way too much to remember, so I keep a record of all of those in an excel file, combined with listings for every Daz product I’ve bought in the store, whether singly or in a bundle.
So, since you created this program, I’ve also taken to pulling all the data on my new purchases from Daz straight from the .csv file that DHM uses. Which has me thinking that what would be great is if I could roll all the items listed above back onto a .csv as well. I don’t want to combine all the data in one pot, because I can’t re-download any of those items I didn’t purchase through the site, so the ideal solution (in my mind) would be to be to have DHM be able to check against two different .csv files: one that’s just for checking that I don’t already have the item, and a second file that’s limited to just exactly what the Daz store has (the version that DHM checks against now,) to be used for resetting downloads, looking for d-son updates, etc.

Is that any clearer?
OK, I get the idea. It could be made that way that if the program detects a .csv file with a certain name, a button that will load that file will appear. Quite simple to make.
You just need to format the data the same way as in the history.csv file (the new format from the test version), leaving fields you have no data for empty. If you don’t have any SKU data for the items though, it will be a check on product names only, with the disadvantages this may have.
The current version Alpha 0.539 of DAZ History Manager will run until 2013-01-31.
If for some reason the autoupdate did not work, you may download it at http://taosoft.dk/software/dazhm/.
But any of the Content Downloader will need an update for the new year.

Got it. Thank you.
Nope, the automatic update didn’t work. It has worked for me in the past, though, which was why I was worried that nothing had come in yet.

I’m working on these, there will be updates of them all before they expire.

Strange. I just tested all previous unexpired versions since 0.536, auto update works fine for all of them. If for some reason it cannot connect to the update server or whatever you’ll get a “Update check failed” box which you must close before the program can start. It should not be possible to run an earlier version of the program without seeing either the Update window or the “Update check failed” box.

I think I know what happened. I found a dazhm-0539a.zip in my downloads. I must have had that version installed instead.
Bundle Check includes check for old bundle names, so it should work even if the name has changed since you bought the bundle. In that case the item(s) will be marked yellow to indicate that the item name does not match the name of the corresponding item in the cart. I’m hoping to find a better solution to this, but so far this is how it works. Probably something that you won’t run into very often anyway, if ever.
Andy has just updated the bundle data, so the latest bundles are included in the check.
