Content database is always in need of updating. Maybe this can help...

I've noticed that there is always a crazy number of files in my "Lost and Found" in the Content Library and Smart Content categories. I hear that the staff at DAZ are always updating or working on updating content tags, but stuff is still going uncategorized and loitering unfound in my database.

Maybe we could help. If users are involved in product improvement, might it be helpful if they open their databases to DAZ so they can import any custom tags for any Studio products that have gone untagged? I'd be willing to hand over some of my database information and if any other Studio users can use it to categorize their assets, more power to them. If enough of us got together for that, the collaborative effort could cut months off the staff's work.

What says the community?

It is a complicated problem.  I have been around since the Zygote/pre Daz Studio days, have tens of thousands of products purchased and have perhaps seven items in my Lost and Found.  I could re edit the meta to fix them if it bothered me enough but it is a non issue for me.

So how about from anyone else for whom it is a problem? Those folks being pretty much the target of the question, anyway.

The problem with all of this is that there are multiple issues.  The first is that your problem might be due to stuff out of Daz3d's control such as your own computer's performance and disk issues (I have had the rare mess up due to running out of RAM where a restall fixed it), the second is that you have tools to adjust the metadata to recatagorize products as you go, third, there are updates to fix metadata.  I think I would have you figure why so many things are in lost and found rather than using a hypothetical tool that would break updates for you.
