Missing Files for RedzStudio G3F Character UVs for G8F (RESOLVED)

I noticed today that the RedzStudio Genesis 3 Character UVs for Genesis 8 Female is on sale at 70% off with a new release. I already have this but just a heads up there is a problem with missing files. I put in a ticket back on August 18 reporting the missing files and then followed up again on September 5 checking on the status but it appears that the problem has not been resolved because I've never seen an update for it. Last I heard, my ticket was being forwarded to Bug Tracker and then QA Team. The file path should show: People>Genesis 8 Female>Materials>Genesis 8 Character UVs. The Genesis 8 Character UVs folder is not there, instead there is a link to RedzStudio's DAZ store. Since I also have the Genesis 3 to Genesis 8 Male version (which has the correct path and files), I compared the folders and found the problem with the female version.

Comments
The male version added some convenience scripts to change the UV settings, but the female version did not. The actual UV maps are available, and can be changed in the Surfaces tab by selecting the figure's Surfaces, or individual parts if you want, and setting the UV from the drop down list under the "UV Set" property. Not sure if the convenience scripts are that convenient since you have to change folders more often, and if you are on the Surfaces tab anyway, changing UV's is a click away.
These UVs were always intended to apply automatically when you apply the G3 character materials to Genesi 8. That path you refer to in the OP was put there by DAZ3D for some technical reason, maybe to do with metadata but I’m not sure. So you shouldn’t have to apply anything other than the original G3 character materials and the UV will apply automatically. I hope this helps.
Thank you for straightening my confusion out, Redz. Great product, by the way!
