Worked great in Firefox, and offers a neat overview.
@Taozen - Thanks for sharing that - It looks like another useful item to add to my Daz footprint on my hard drive. :)
This looks really handy, but unfortunately I'm on a Mac. :-(
@Taozen - The .exe triggered AVG "CyberCapture,"
It said, "You have found a very rare executable - we're sending it to AVG to analyze and we should know if it is safe in 161 minutes."
An oddly specific time to analyze the file.
I'm sure there is no malicious code in your executable - but I thought I'd share with you that AVG has no profile for it and it triggers their hueristics.
Came back OK. But, do I understand that I have to log in with my DAZ credentials and let the program connect to DAZ, it won't work in offline mode from my DIM content library database?
No MM freebie today?
So, are we just not sharing stacking sales this time around...
Or is this sale just way less impressive than past ones, so far?
I remember the Christmas sale started off a little slow, too.
There just hasn't been much stacking outside the advertised sale discounts
I Hadn't run install manager in over a week and Just thought to run it, with all the great that's been coming out my screen was full, ouch my poor ssd

Who killed the Store? Nothing seems to load....
The forums are showing strangely for me. No format. Store is broken also.
Me, too. I just get a blank page for the store and a long list of links that sort of looks like an old Apache format for the forums.
Exactly what I am seeing.
Sorry, on the store I am seeing a list of links also. But the same as you for the forums.
It looks like the style sheet is missing. There was a Cloud Flare error for a while earlier too. I expect it was all 'scheduled' ;)
Oh, it's my shopping cart that's a mess of links. The store is giving me a blank page.
Glad I'm not the only one! It's a mess here too.
On the stacking- the only ongoing sale seems to be MM this time around. Usually we're stacking from a couple of different sales combined. Some days, the extra MM discount is stacking nicely with the day's featured vendor on older products. But it's hit and miss.
And the store is back up now. Yea!
Microsoft is working on making their NET apps portable to other systems, so there is a chance there will be a Mac version at some point, but I can't say for sure, or in case, when. Otherwise it should work on a Mac with CrossOver, and possible also Wine (CrossOver is Wine based) if you know how to configure it (I don't unfortunately).
OMG...I just realized that even if the store suddenly put everything on sale for 50 cents an item, I'd still need to spend over $12K to buy it all... (opens wallet, shakes out the lint....)
I hope MM gets more exciting. There are definitely some nice new products being offered. But, I just haven't been enticed to make the full cart purchases that I was doing last year, or during the Fall. So far, I've mostly just been putting more stuff in my wishlist.
I was really surprised at only 30% off for Genesis and older. I thought they would do more like 60 70 80 thing that was happening in the last big sales. I mean, the things I didn't already buy when they were 60-90% off, aren't really exciting at 30% off. Many of those RDNA items were selling for $2 and under back then.
I thought the Christmas Loyalty Discount ramp up was a lot of fun too. So, I'm hoping there's more shopping cart Jenga coming.
There is a utility called Winebottler to set up Wine on OSX...
http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
I don't use a Mac, but for years used Wine to run Windows apps under Linux (under the pretty GUI, OSX is Good Old UNIX
). All versions of the .NET framework work well under Wine, but may need to be installed with the /q ('quiet') option in the installer command line; ie, dotnetfx40x86.exe /q
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=2586
Happens to me too, with Avast. I'm very cautious about viruses though, all my apps are developed on a Windows 10 (most secure Windows OS) machine decidated only to programming, which only connects to Microsoft and other safe sites, and only if necessary. I also test all apps at virustotal.com, which scans them with over 50 virus scanners, before release, and with a link to the report on the download page. If there are 3 or less scanners there that cry wolf, it's usually considered safe. The code in my commercial apps is obfuscated though and that tend to make virus scanners more suspicious so an app that tests 100% clean may not do so after being obfuscated.
It's not connected with DIM in any way other than you can use it to send a product to DIM for installation, using Download & Install on the Order Page in the browser, and you have to log in to do that. All login and other data transmissions are SSL encrypted (HTTPS) though so it's just as secure as any webbrowser. Product Page data download is not encrypted though but there's no reason to do that anyway, and you can download these without logging in.
There appear to be a couple of bugs in the latest version btw, one affects the "Delete Product Data Folder" option in the list view context menu, so don't use that before next version is out (probably tomorrow).
Oh, OK, thanks. I wish you'd come up with an iPad version...
It used to be true that OS X was a true Unix, but when the switched over from G++ to LLVM in order to achieve a .NET like compiler, things started becoming less and less unix friendly. Wine works, as well as it does in Linux as far as I can tell, but it has it's good and bad points. I haven't tried this program, but I've encountered some things that are built with basic MS tools that simply don't run under wine that really should be fairly generic.
@Taozen - thank you for the additional information. It makes sense how it works, I just made some assumptions... not really sure why, about it being able to compile local data about your installed products.
Could that be done programatically, the same way as this app, and if so, would it be possible to catalog freebie content too? I'm guessing this version only works for organizing or cataloging content from the DAZ store?
I think they've made some coding adjustments - it seems there really hasn't been much in the way of good stacking in quite a while. I used to find really nice stacking deals nearly every week. Now I haven't seen really good stacking in quite some time. I definitely miss it. But it's causing me to spend WAY less than I used to ...so I guess that's a good thing. *shrug*
Much the same as CrossOver it seems, except CrossOver for Mac cost about $60.
Thanks. If a NET app works in Wine on Linux can you then assume it also will work in Wine on a Mac?
My guess is that DAZ got some major complaints from some of the PAs that their products were being sold at a 90%+ discount, and so they did look at trying to seriously curtail the kind of crazy stacking we saw in December.
Not sure exactly what you mean here - which data and for what use?
I'm actually working on a general content database that can import and catalog content from any organized source, as well as import data manually. The other apps are mostly for collecting the data so they'll have limited features.
