Hi Cris, please find screenshot attached, this is just an example. I included the dForce Peasant Dress for Genesis 8 Female(s) which I already own (I double checked in Daz Central) and apparently can purchase again.

Edit: Just as I posted this, the percentages started showing up again. Though I can still buy already owned products.

..I did and all were nominal.  Yes this is just with the Daz programme, nothing else like Chrome GMail, Word, Gimp, PSP, etc is affected like this. In Chrome, the only lag I occasionally get is connectivity or site server based which should not affect anything installed locally on the system.  

I performed a disk check and cleanup the other night but it had little apparent effect on the issue (though it made general operations a bit smoother)..

My Content Library is still on a separate HDD (fairly new) from the boot drive and I have a custom designed structure (as I've mentioned) for the Poser Runtimes which I pretty much patterned after the structure of the top end Daz Library (only the geometries and textures remain in their original folders) due to the haphazard set-up and lack of standard naming conventions. However again, this is occurring in the top end Daz Library structure   My C drive is only at about 565% capacity (35% free) and doesn't change very much as I also don't use DazConnect or Daz Central and the IM .zip installer folder is on D:, so that isn't the issue (asicall the only ting that gets amended in the C:/[....]Roaming/Daz3D folder is the logfile.

I do not use dynamic folder links as I access everything by directly clicking on the Content tab tree (been doing that ever since I started in this over a dozen years ago).  I would consider Smart Content to be that type of link, but as I also mentioned, I don't use it..

This pretty much leaves me with the sense that the CMS is the sustpect, but I'm no satabase progammer/specialist.

[Moved to a new drive. Daz Central can't detect in smart content. Please help!] Title says it all. I tried to match the directories between Daz central and install manager, but no dice. I've moved from a 4TB HDD to a 6TB HDD and while all files remain intact, Daz no longer detects it in smart content as installed and installing is the only option.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Did yiy also set the directories in Daz Studio? it won't pick them up from the installation applications without the usehttp://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/file_io/install_manager_config_import/start (if the paths are correct in Install manager download the script using the link above the code and drag it into an open Daz Studio Viewport).

Given your set up you would be ebst off using Install Manager, Daz Central lacks the flexibility.

Finally, after waiting since October I got my hands on a new motherboard and Ryzen 5000x CPU!  

I had Daz issues with my last system, possibly due to the install... so I want to avoid that.  I have 2 drives in this system now, C: for OS and games D: for Daz.  Daz Studio program I want on C:, but I want all the Daz content on D:, except my custom stuff in my user profile directory.

All my content was installed before using Daz Install Manager - installing content on the new computer is easy with DIM since I exported to CSV what was installed on the old box, and then I can import that into DIM on the new computer.  Can I take that DIM export of what's installed and use that with Daz Central/Content Manager?

Am I better off installing Daz Studio from DIM, or downloading the separate Daz Studio installer?

Please don't post links to yoru product Library as only people who have purchased the product will be able to open them - post a link to the store page instead.

There should be no need to install both through Daz Central and through Install Manager - if you do need to then that suggests a problem from the outset, probably mis-matched paths.

Is the hair loading at all? Do the  materials for the figure load correctly or is that too stuck at the defaults? Does the hair model load, just not the morphs?

I've added Thanks Daz 3d!!! - Compiled February 2021, which shows that I was really into buiding up my Genesis 1 base for this new Rosie 5 (Rosie 5.2) that I'm working with now. Shapes, clones, convertors and animations - but I also grabbed PhilW's amazing Central Business District for Carrara, which is just Awesome!!!

It's a cool page though. It has some nice little explanations about my decisions for adding these products to my workflow.

Daz Central and Daz Install manager (DIM) both do much the same job - Central has a simplified interface. Both should show the same installed content, so what do you see in the Installed tab of DIM?

The spotlight is on PhilW, once again, in my new page of Thanks to Daz 3d!

Thanks Daz - February 2021 compilation is mostly geared toward character building materials like clones, convertors, morphs and animations.

But at the height of it all is the picturesque excellence of one helluva fine Carrara product: Central Business District for Carrara!

Is anyone else not seeing the three translusency settings? It says on the product page that there are three and I only have the maps, normals, and SSS settings (and the stuff like eyes and makeup). I've installed it now through DIM, Central, and manually from the zips on the product page. Just wondering if I'm alone in this as it would somehow be a user error then instead of a Daz issue. Sure, I can go and change the translucency in the settings but it's nice to have the button as well. 

 

 I had to change translucency settings in the surface tab. No buttons in the pack. Installed through DIM.

Okay, thanks for letting me know that it's not a user error on my end lol. I'll put in a ticket later today but I'll just keep putzing around with the settings in the surface tab until/if it gets worked out. Thanks!

You will get this with almost every set from that artist. It is the way the files are zipped. I solved that by opening the zip with your favorite zip utility, then re-saved it (without any changes). This fixed the issue. 

Maybe it's this particular product because I tried everything and I still can't get it to install.

If you are getting the "..ERROR extracting files" error, you need to re-zip.  However, you could be getting other errors in installation so please post the log for that.

What @Mark_e593e0a5 said   There are some zip files that are compressed in a way that the Daz Studio zip utility cannot read.  Re-zipping them will fix it.

...been experiencing increasing lag with the Daz programme.  My content library is on a different drive than the main programme but that never seemed to be an issue before.  However, I've been noticing performance issues that I have never seen before. For the last month or so even simple operations have been getting lagging.  For example, when opening a folder in the content tree, there will be a short lag before it opens and at times I'll get a swirly for a while before I can proceed  This also occurs even when scrolling through a listing fo a particular item, such as shaders. The drive for my content library and runtimes is still fairly new so that shouldn't be the cause. 

I don't use Smart Content, and have never experienced this behaviour before even back in the day when I was still working on a 32 bit notebook.

Other programmes and my browser don't experience the same performance lags, just Daz.

Still running 4.12.0.47 Beta which has been stable as a rock for me until this began. I shouldn't be connected to the Daz site (which is about the only explanation that would make sense) as I don't use Daz Central, Connect, or the Iray server.. Whne I'm working, I also close down Chrome as well as any other programmes, and set my AV to "invivible mode", so none of that should be inpacting the performance.
