What is DAZCentral?

vonHobo

At the risk of sounding totally uninformed, may I ask: Is "DAZCentral" a replacement for DAZ Install Manager (DIM)?

And if so, should I wait for DAZCentral to come out of beta before trying to use it as a replacement for DIM?

I almost never use DAZ Connect unless I have an issue with DIM. And I have only had one or two issues with DIM once in 18 months. 

So I am quite happy with DIM. And I'm a bit confused as to what DAZCentral is exactly, or if it replaces one of the other installation methods.

Please help. :)

Thanks, but I read all through that forum and I'm still confused.

There is a lot of discussion on technical issues which is all very confusing to me. I just wanted to know what its purpose is.

It's designed for new users and doesn't have as many options as DIM.  It's not replacing DIM.

It's a new install system, with a new UI and based on DIM core for the install part. It doesn't have all the advanced features DIM has. it's mainly aimed at new users or users with a simple setup.

If you're happy with DIM you can continue using it, it will continue to be available for more advanced users.

Thanks Leana. I hope it helps new users.

DIM has advanced features? I only use it to download/install my DAZ stuff.
