DAZ 6.0 updates to existing products - notifications ?

edited June 6 in Daz Studio Discussion

I've got a bunch of super useful scripts I use in v4.24, like Camera Magic and Look At Me II + III(that one already works in v6). Now that v6 of DAZ is out, I will assume that the scripting language is locked down apart from bug fixes and extensions.

Is the DIM Installer the only way to see if updates have happened ? Or will we perhaps get notification emails of updated products ? Or maybe something completely different ? (cue a Python joke)

    Some updates will likely be announced in the forums for PAs who use it. Beside that, checking DIM for updates is the only way AFAIK.

    Moved to Daz Studio discussion, though arguably Technical Support would have been better but it is a generalish question. The scripting forum is for writing scriupts, not for discussing existing scripts.

    Thanks. I'll keep an eye out.

    Woho! Three of my four Bluejaunte plugins finally came through for DS6.

    Thanks to whoever put in the effort. Judging by how long this took, you guys must be swamped pretty hard.

    Already reported to BJ them not showing up on the Windows Pane list or the installed plugin list(Help/About Installed Plugins) in DS6.

    All credit for the creation of DS6 versions of bluejaunte plugins goes to bluejaunte himself. DAZ only packaged it up (incorrectly at first) for DIM.

    Well, instead of random PA updates, a centralized DS6 updated compatible plugins and scripts would be super usefull !

    It seems that the SDK is still in beta : that's a real stop gap... When wil this SDK will be mature enough ?

    Same for Ds6 : I'm really impressed by the loading time,the "real time" display, but many other things are prone to weird behaviour.

    Problem is all of this is really up to the PAs, not Daz. They decide what they will upgrade and when they will spend the time working on it. Daz can only release it after they receive it from the PAs.

    And the PA doesn't what will be easy or hard until they spend some time going over the changes and assessing the impact on their stuff.

    Time spent by the PA updating older stuff is time spent not generating new content which earns them money. Can you imagine what some of the PAs with large script/plugin libraries are seeing? They might view the upgrades of 4-8 months of bug fixing instead of money making work. Their only compensation is good will unless they repackage stuff as new content (and risk ill will from the consumers). 

    Patience is the only logical reaction as a consumer.
