oh, well you should let tao know about that one.  What a pain!  DAZ has become very hard work.  I’ve employed a secretary to help me.

Has DAZ changed the DSON page address again? Haven’t been able to get a list for over 24hrs, coincidentally from the time Black November kicked off. I am getting a ‘not currently available, try again later’ message.

I suspect they’ve messed up something - the URL still exists but there’s something else there now:

It am no messed up!  Daz Store is run by BIzzarro Programmers.  Anything that work, they must break… that are just good BIzzarro service.  Yes?

Not sure…actually that is the DSON items as far as I can see. I kept a seperate Excel record of that category and it’s all there. Just not sure why DHM can’t see it.

Hm, looks like you’re right, actually. They’ve just changed the title tag which is what the program uses to ID the pages. Here’s an update that should fix it:

Thanks, your service is as excellent as your program. Leaving the house now but will try it later.

Thanks again

Works!
Thank you!!!

Is anyone else having a problem with DAZ History Manager?  It used to miss the occasional product, but lately it’s not finding anything I purchased recently.  Weird, because it used to work so well.

Have you updated the program with the most recent version?  Or bought a lot of bundles?  Anything purchased in those doesn’t show up except under the bundle name… hence the constant need to refer to the fun with bundles page.  http://home.arcor.de/familie.reichow/3D/fwb1.html 

I am using the latest version, and no, it’s not bundled items that are the problem.  Basically, I’m not getting anything bought since September.

Interesting. After reading your message I did some checking and am finding the same thing. Lately I’ve mainly been purchasing only new items but I had noticed a problem with a couple files a month ago and just filed it away in my head because I wasn’t sure if it was me or the program.

As I’m testing I’m finding that after about the first few days in October new purchases I’ve hunted for aren’t showing up. I’m running version 0.538 and updated the database just a couple of nights ago again.

Let me add that the files don’t appear in the database even though when it does the update the total count it’s processing does increment and seems right. The items just aren’t actually getting in the db.

Thanks, at least I know it’s not just me.

Dunno if this is related, but the stuff I bought in September is listed in duplicate.  I didn’t buy the times twice - the order numbers and dates are the same.  They’re just listed twice.

I haven’t found any dupes like that in September yet. Were they purchased on a single date? Maybe DAZ had a hiccup somewhere and duplicated invoices. I vaguely remember something like that, not sure, and will have to check.

Well, I’ve got everything in the DB now.

I checked the .csv file in the data folder and noticed the last updated date on the file was October 12 2012.

I’ve updated several times since then.

So I renamed the csv to csv.bak and updated the history again and when I scrolled through the list this time the numbering matched the number it reported it had processed.

I hit ‘save/update history’ and the new database was created.

I’m getting the sneaky feeling I haven’t been hitting the ‘save/update’ history button when I update since October 10. :(  Though it’s rather strange that I was hitting that button before and suddenly forgot to do it anymore.

Anyway, problem solved here anyway.

Not sure what can be causing this. I can’t reproduce it myself.

But the number of lines in the CSV file should match the number of items it downloads, plus 1.
