Compatibilities vs CompatibilityBase

MehdiZangenehBar

What is difference between Compatibilities and CompatibilityBase? seems both does the same job, I guess CompatibilityBase is old and single input, later on Compatibilities added that accepts multiple input?

I think you would need to start with http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/object_index/assetmgr_dz#a_1ac78e5e825cb27f193c2570713fb9df5d and crawl it or http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/object_index/assetmgr_dz#a_1a6c29ed2345669411dfba22769922f383 - I am not quite clear.

Not sure why you would want only the default compatibility bases instead of the existing ones...

 

There is a sample script List Compatibility Bases to get the existing ones.

The default Compatibility Bases can be found by reading App.getResourcesPath() / CompatibilityBases.txt

 

Default Categories can be found by calling DzAssetMgr::getDefaultCategoryPaths(...)

Or reading App.getResourcesPath() / RootCategories.txt for the Default Default Categories (as opposed to categories just named Default/*...)

This was mentioned by Richard at https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/9034131/#Comment_9034131

and is available online at http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/dson_spec/format_description/metadata/categories/

The previous version Categories.txt was documented in the DAZ Studio 3 User Guide

 

 

Existing Content Types can be found by calling DzAssetMgr::getTypes()

Default Content Types can be found by reading App.getResourcesPath() / ContentTypes.txt

and is available online at http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/dson_spec/format_description/metadata/content_types/

It was also previously documented in the DAZ Studio 3 User Guide

My bad, I should say "Existing", not "Default", I will have a look at your references, thanks!
But what about ObjectCompatibilities where it will be used?, how we can set in in UI?
