Search Daz duf File Content

Rtesian

I have one folder with multiple sub-folders which themselves contain Daz duf files. I want to be able to search the duf files and locate which ones have specific products (such as clothing, hair, buildings, props, etc) and/or the genesis character used. Daz's Content Library does NOT know where its data is stored in duf files. How can I do this ??

You could uncompress the files (Batch Convert pane) and then use any suitable text editor with a fancy search function - or write a script to do it in DS.

I am not certain what could help you do what you want. I use these programs to edit DUF files and review DS log.

@Richard Haseltine. If I understand your response, then uncompressed duf Files via Batch Convert, can display a search for clothing, props, characters etc ?? If so, I'd be happy to create and program a database containing these uncompressed files to give me simple, straightforward findings of Daz products I used in specific scenes

Once uncompressed they are just text files, though path names use hex codes rather than literal characters for anything outside the URI standard.
