Update to Dreamlight In Bed DS

I use the Install Manager and I was recently offered an update to the Dreamligh "In Bed DS" product.  This is an older product. The readme page did not give any information about why it was being updated.  I went ahead and updated it.  I have all my products in manually created categories so I can find them. Sometimes when products are updated the items disappear from the categories.  Usually this means the product has been moved or the names of DUF files have been changed. I always check after updating and sure enough all the In Bed category references had disapeared.

This is where things got weird.  The readme file says this product is located in the rather unusual location of “Dreamlight : In Bed”.  Sure enough there is such a top level location in My DAZ 3D Library, so I just recreated the categories and check them again. They still were not there. I tried to create new categories in different location.  All empty. Weird thing was if I selected one of the items and tried to catorgize it, the dialog showed they were categorized there but they still didn't appear when I went to the category.

Finally I checked the installed files in Install Manager. Lo and behold, after scrolling past all the data files, the Install Manager had put the product in "Props : Dreamlight : In Bed".  I went to that location and sure enough the product was there. When I created the categories, they actually got created. Also at this location there was a "In Bed Iray" folder which has some preset to load the set with Iray Materials and render settings. Thank you DreamLight for updating this set for Iray.  Unfortunately, because the readme has not gotten updated yet, probably no one realizes they got this update or that the product has been moved. Also this update seemed to not delete the older version of the product from Dreamlight : In Bed.

    yes, it is quite annoying when there is an update to a product, but no information as to what the update was about in the read me page for the product.  I wish they would make it consistent to provide the update information.

    The product page has been updated, but the Readme page is not updated and does not give the correct location for the updated product.
