I mean
As a general rule, use "Save Configuration File" for EVERY product you want to install. This saves everything you have told CW about this product, and you can reload it at any point to update things (or help me debug it with you)
OK, I will try to find that. Just to confirm G8F was working fine yesterday, then I installed CW, and added some items. When I load G8F base and select it, I can see MDD Theory materials and nothing else in Materials.
That is really strange. CW neither changes the G8F compatibility base nor any other item's compatibilities, only for the product it is working on. Unfortunately, I have nothing from Maddelirium to test with.
i think i got it, first install the content. After that adding smart content to have it in the smart content pane. right?
i confirm i got it working now, just creaed a "smart content" product from 4 Renderosity zip files.
This is an awesome product!!
thank you
Actually, the order for things is to:
I usually do things in this order:
Ok, so maybe the scanning of a temp folder isn't neccessary. If it gets unzipped to the working folder and analyzed, then an Export option instead if Install should be good enough.
You could add a disclaimer that anything exported is not covered by your support :)
Only midnight? Slacker
Ok, I will look into it.
That never seems to work
I am living the good life!
And all is well: uninstalling and reinstalling Genesis 8 Female Essentials has solved the problem for Genesis 8 Female and other figures linked to her.
Oh, awesome! I am glad to hear that. Does MDD Theory still work?
I have had failures with:
Palamo's The Machine (Rendo)
Nirvy's dForce Peppery sweater'n' dress (Rendo)
Hmmm. Unfortunately, I don't have those. There is one, Barn One, that @Surreal is having trouble with (and that I do have). If I can figure that one out, hopefully it will help you.
Just run a simple tes of Smart Content/metadata for a 'rosity prodiuct. Works nicely - even if I did foget to make sure a product icon was selected ...!
What seems missing, for me, is the ability to select (as opposed to typing by hand) individual content libraries wholesale for an actual install (I tend to direct installs to different libraries for each vendor).
So can you select the product from within smart content? I am not having any luck getting Renderosity product Berry, or MDD Monet rar file to install into smart content. Everything works well up to the point when I hit "install smart content" and I get "there were errors during installation".
I am not sure I understand what you want to do?
I am investigating an issue with Barn One from Dreamlands. If I can figure that one out, hopefully that will help with your issue.
From what I can see there is but one place tospecify an install location, and that is a text field which comes pre-populated with a folder (not sure where picked up from) that is teh default install location for DAZ content. I I know there is the while 'redirect' thing, but I am not sure I want to use that. What I'd want is to be able to pick a product's zip file(s) and pont the entirety of THIS install to a different base content library, preferably without having to manually type in the hole directory name. I have 6 DS content libraries defined (as well as 6 poser runtimes, which of course I do not need for this!). If I get a product from 'rosity I instal it into my 'rosity content library'. If I get a freebie I put it into my 'other' content library, DIM will put my DAZ stuff into my Daz content libray, and so on.
You'll ne un un-rar and recompres as a zip file for Content Wizard to find/cope with the product.
What I did was find the zip files for a [prduct I had already installed and just got Content Wizard to generate metadata/Smart Content for me.
Ah. I think I understand now. While you cannot set it per product, you can easily click that Daz Content button and select a new location.
True, and sorry, I am not sure why Ithought it was a manual entry ... I think I was thinking of something else and it just stuck! Still be nice to have a drop down list of the defined libraries (and a Briwse ... option)
I'll continue dabbling - even for auto-create metadat for currrently installed products makes this a worthwhile purchase, thank you!
Also, why do I have to uncheck 'Filter by Content' to find it - this has got to be one of THE most content agnostic products out there!
The metadata for CW is defined by Daz
I will have to think about what to do about switching. I am sure there is something; just what is the right solution is the question.
Some good news!! I was able to successfully install Berry for G8 Female from renderosity by unzipping the rar and redoing it as a zip. Then I saw "uncheck 'Filter by Content' to find it" and I was able to see Berry in Smart content. However, the rezipping did not work for the other Renderosity models. I still got the install error. But some progress is happening.
Two steps forward, one back for me ... What I am doing is just 'Install Smart Data' for existing installed products. So, witht aht in mind:
If I forget to fill in Vendor name and Store name (any chance of more store names?) the install of Smart Data wil fail saying that Daz Studio returned 'product X' when 'product trying to install smart data for' product was requested to be created, and that 'Product X' seems to always be the same one (from 'another store' Remembered I had entered those data when the 1st product I did worked, so went back and tried abnother, and it worked wher it had not before - joy, rapture! Then did another and this time it is complaining about a that 1st product I did smart data install for:
I know I have a LOT of stuff, but ... (as an ex-programmer) I have to wonder, what search terms are being used, where?
Amazing Product! I was looking for something like this from a long time ago. Really easy to use and very poweful. Thanks River.
@riversoftart it was attached to my original post : https://www.daz3d.com/forums/uploads/FileUpload/ce/f81fd6bbf219ee272461219cee2d80.txt
And yes to setting both the artist and vendor.
Ive tried installing Peppery Sweater and Angelically Naughty by nirvy and a pose from Most Digital Creations, the installs do fine and they show in Content Library but I get an error every time I try to install the Smart Content.
I was having problems as well installing the smart content. Seems like if I put something in product ID it will work. If it is empty it dosen't.
If I'm not mistaken, it needs a product ID.
If it's a 3ed party (i.e., non-=DAZ) what is teh correct 'thing' to use for Product ID. especially if, as it seems, it is a pretty much required field.
