Oookay, so here it is, my very first DAZ Studio script ever. Please be gentle with me :D

BETA

This is a beta version. I can not find any more errors, but you might be more successful in that.
It *should* not destroy anything, but I cannot give any guarantee. Please use at your own risk.
If you are an experienced user, this is for you. Otherwise please wait a few days, until all bugs could be ironed out.
 

What it does

It converts Genesis 3 Female Expressions to Genesis 8 Female.
The conversion is not perfect, but very close most of the time. If there is something off, it's usually the mouth. Not much, though.

 

What it does not

It does not recognize some products from external stores. Not sure how I can fix that yet.
It cannot process connect encrypted content. If you use it on such, things will break! Don't do it! Can't do anything about it, sorry.
On mixed content products, it will try to convert everything. "Expressions and Poses" products are such. I'll try to fix that.
It does not convert any HD product
It does not convert bones and/or meshes
It does no perfect conversion, but close enough, I'd say.

 

How to install

Unzip to your content library.
The script should be under Scripts/mork/ConvertExpressionG3F_G8F

 

How to use

I numbered the order of what you need to do. :-)
Almost every item, text, button, whatever, should have a hover tooltip - hover it with the mouse to get more info.

1. First search for expressions. That will take quite a while, I need to find out how to speed that up. But result will be cached for your session.
2. Check some options.
   1. Dry-run - check this to simulate the conversion. It will not change anything. Recommended for every first conversion run.
   2. Move to Expressions - not implemented yet
   3. Use cached search results - after your first search, you can check this to speed up follow-up searches. Data is cached until you restart DAZ.
3. Pick a target content library, in case you have multiple. The default library is checked by default. No connect libraries allowed.
4. Chose the compression of the converted files. Either leave untouched (same as original), compress or uncompress them.
5. After you did 1., you should find the G3F expressions here. Click any of them to start the conversion.
   Please wait, a window will pop up when it's done.

When you close the script, a new window might pop up. It will contain a list of morphs that could not be mapped.
If there are any morphs that look like a DAZ morph, please report it back to me and I will map it.

Have fun! :)
