I have set up a new system for keeping my DAZ Library in order, I keep everything on my Ipad in the .pdf format for quick viewing. Picture Sample below:

When ever I purchase a product from the DAZ Store, I lay it out in Microsoft word and save it in .pdf    Everything is so organise, I find everything I want in seconds, all of my DAZ Products are stored in my DAZ Account and also stored on my home cloud (My Cloud  Mirror by Western Digital 12 TB   http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=1200) I keep a Microsoft Word and an Adobe PDF Document. The word documents are keeped on the cloud along with my pdf document and on my IPda which takes .pdf formats of which I keep filed in the book section under DAZ.

I did this because my DAZ Collection has grown very large. I had to find a way to keep up with everything so I came up with this system. I is the best way to keep up with all of your items.

If anyone want's help in keeping up with their DAZ Products just send me an e-mail at [email protected]

I do something similar, but using Adobe Bridge and the Mac's own built in filtering system.

So when do you guys find time to actually render, LOL

Can't imagine finding/making time for something like this, not that I need it though. looks great though and thanks for sharing.

A spreadsheet also works and just needs to be update as new content is added. Quicker to build and update than messing with a relational database.

Thankfully for me, rendering and programming are both hobbies.  I don't know if I'd use this, in particular, but if I'm spending time writing code to help me find things in my library, it's just as good as rendering for meeting my 'creative work' ache.

e.g. Right now, one of my coding obsessions is understanding how I could use Cyc to allow me to search for 'furniture' and find all the individual objects from all sets that are beds, end tables, chairs, couches, etc., all listed together for further filtering.

I just make categories in studio for my various things and file it as I purchase.
