I really hope it is brought back. I ain't a fan of the new UI of Daz store

I've had many issues with the store site not responding, mainly at checkout - "server not responding".

Plus the usual forum issues as normal.

In Product Library, "Search Your Library" accepts strings and then filters immediately, but you cannot clear the field, like before, with the filters' "Clear All" button. You have to select all the text to clear it or replace it.

Artist list is WAY too long when you "Show More". Needs a scrollbar. Would be nice to sort alphabetically, too.

There is no way to filter products from defunct artists, or discontinued products from current artists. The list is user-dependent, so why not? The products are there, but if you do not recall the name, good luck finding them.

Some assorted comments:

I do not like that I have to stare at the "game ready 3d" image in the filter list.  For one thing, I am never going to care about that; more importantly for people other than me... guys, it looks like some sort of third party ad or something, not part of the site.

Delighted to see that ther is a "only show +" option today.  Also like the yellow "on wishlist" banner.

Site is still - and this has been a problem for actual years at this point - badly, badly in need of a "show products not associated with a figure" filter and a filter that lets you see only products that are or contain scenery/props/animals/etc.

As a manual download person... y'all, the Product List experience is significantly worse.  The only positive things I can really say is "I guess it looks pretty" and I appreciate that the "omg did you know you can download this using Install Manager?" banner is now below the manual download buttons instead of above.  Oh, and as someone with an unreasonably massive library, it is marginally faster to open when I first go to the page.  But I went from "click on product on left, click download, click on product on left, click download, rinse repeat x number of times" process that was only limited by my download speed to "click on product on right, click on download, click back, click on next product, click download, click back, rinse repeat x number of times", and it's so much slower as a workflow.  (No, I'm not going to switch to DIM or to letting DS download things for me; I have a massive product library and I manually manage it to be the way I want it to be.)  Also, if I have a product open and search for something... there's no sign anything is happening.  Before, I would see the search results on the left and could then click on a different product; now, if I have a product open and I search, it looks like nothing happened and I have to click back to my library again to see the search results.

Unreal engine does, you can create grooms for hair and it has Apex cloth and ragdoll physics 

there is an Unreal forum section here you can search through 

Unity too but I don't use Unity

The new filters are strange. For example, if I want to search for PSOE tools, the "Tools" category disappears after I type "PSOE", so I have to search through hundreds of search results.

I usually love Zeddicus stuff. But I'm a little disappointed in https://www.daz3d.com/z-action-heroes-expressions-for-genesis-9

The names on the expressions are:

• Z ACTHR 01 G9 Action Hero
• Z ACTHR 02 G9 Action Hero
• Z ACTHR 03 G9 Action Hero
• etc

They'll never show up in a search for worried, angry, triumphant, etc. Maybe when they're not new...

I voted!  I really, really wanted to enter this time, but my inspiration has been almost non-existent lately.  I know it's silly, but I think the main problem is the disappearance of the Daz+ forum weekly and monthly contests, along with the gallery being unusable.  I'm not seeing the constant flow of new ideas and excitement, and coupled with a LOT of difficult stuff going on IRL, I just feel drained and down.  Hopefully I can get myself back in gear soon!

Greetings, Forum Friends:

Like the old song says, "The times, they are a-changin'".  This post regards those of us who obsessively still use legacy DAZ and Poser from the period when they were relatively compatible.  To search in the shop and wishlist, we previously clicked on the "Poser" category to filter that content.  Does "OBJ" correspond to the old "Poser" category? The file types in that category include:  Prop (PP2), Pose (PZ2), Character (CR2), Figure (CR2), and Camera (CM2), Scene (PZ3).

Anyone else sentimental like me? I have a hefty collection of "legacy content" that I've purchased.  My first invoice was for DAZ Studio software.  I took a trip on the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to find the exact version.  Here's what I got:  "Last updated on October 1st, 2004. DAZ|Studio release (version 0.9.8.5) is now available!" I got the Low-Bandwidth version because of slow dial-up. Victoria 3, Michael 3, Millennium Kids, Aiko 3, Hiro 3, David, Stephanie Petite and The Girl were "New DAZ Original Items" back then.  FUN!

Meanwhile, some of the legacy content has found new life.  Some of the content creators have made conversions and refits available so some of the legacy content works with Genesis.  As of today, my wishlist includes legacy content that I can sort by manually typing "Poser" in the Software category.  While I do not work with game-ready assets, I can appreciate that they're available here.  Cheers on all of the new content choices!

Thank you for all of your hard work!

I like the new Filter but I wish it remembered which sections I had collapsed. A lot of people with prior comments here would be satisfied with a remembered collapsible File Formats section after DUF is selected. The "ad" for Game Ready in the filter is a little obnoxious considering the useful filter controls are then pushed down vertically out of view.

Since some DUF products aren't tagged, maybe that has to wait. If the filter doesn't show products we would buy, that's not a good filter.

I love the new Wishlist indicators. That visibility is extremely helpful. The filter to show Only Wishlisted that was added weeks ago has been great, but when searching, it's more useful to look at an unfiltered view.

The slider for cost might be more interesting later if you attract artists that sell Unreal-only assets for $500. Right now? Not very useful. What would be more useful is a slider for the amount of discount applied to an item. Some people like to grab items when they're 60% off or more, and that's difficult to find. Difficult usually means, "bounce".

Combining the cost and % off sliders could net a Daz+ filter with no extra work.

The site is slower. Maybe there's more people looking while I'm here, and the traffic is causing bandwidth issues. That's good and bad. More people means more stability, and I'm all for that. But new people might not appreciate the speed. In particular, it's slow when clicking the store ad or cycling the store ad or bringing up the main sale page. It's also slow today when clicking an artist's page link in the sale page. The "Loading..." box with the swirly rainbow dots is becoming very familiar to me.

I'm disappointed the Search results didn't get the same treatment for card size. And really disappointed that we're still limited to a magic 40 results that never remember I want to at least see 80, or preferably All at once.

Product Library is a MAJOR UPGRADE. I'm here a lot. The speed is a lot better, but that might be related to what someone else posted -- there's no page advancement. You can see the most recent 40 purchases. And that's it. Please don't do the Search treatment and give us options for 40,60,80 with the memory of a goldfish. Just give us dynamic scrolling. Please.

For the last few times Magic Brush has been a featured artist, the components of this bundle (https://www.daz3d.com/mb-junia-hd-for-genesis-9-bundle ) have not been on sale while the bundle has. If you do a store search on the PA by clicking on their name (not by clicking on the link in the featured artist category) those individual products do not show up at all. I think there must be some coding error where those 4 individual products are not linked to the PA, but the bundle is, so they do not get the sales pricing.

"Only show owned" option is lost with the new search system, plz bring it back. 

If I think about buying a product, I want to compare it to those I already have. I don't need to compare it to the hundreds of items that are in the shop, only to those 30-100+ I have.

"only show owned" was not a standard filter, it was part of Daz Deals add-on. 

For the record, the latest version of the extra filters bookmarklet has an "only owned" option which works with the new site: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/742841/extra-shop-filters-bookmarklet/p2#Comment_9314116

Merged post, as it was not a situation where a sale isn't working.

Ditto that!!  Coffee bought.

Thanks for the coffee (again), appreciate it!

And yeah, search never worked, and can't work since the search results don't include product ids for all the results. While I could in theory filter just the results within one page, that doesn't seem particularly useful, so no point adding it. Even the actual site needs to reload in order to apply any of its filters.

I did consider adding my own search as a filter. But for that, I'd need to create a plugin, handle adding new items daily, etc. Sadly, not worth the effort.

Doesn't seem to work on search results.

I tried that quite a while back with version 1 and it did not work on search results either.  Nevertheless, a great utility to have! 

There also seems to be something a little odd with the Product Count and the file types. With no types selected the total is > the total of the types when filtered (and added together)... by about 10%... Are there hidden types (like maybe 3DL?).

(Obviously not a fantastically critical thing! )

I do like the image-cards, it could be very useful for finding assets, if further filter options were available... Especially if the catalog is able to get at 'basic metadata', so that more than a 'name search' is possible - like the documentation pages can maybe do (You can find new icons for loading this product in the following DAZ Studio Folders)

I find the new PL very impractical and not very user-friendly. I miss the overview of my purchases, the file sizes, the download options. No information, only colourful pictures. Thank you, but I'm not three years old. I can already read and write. 

Is there any way to switch to a more informative list view, similar to the ‘old’ one? I haven’t seen one.

Same here, although I like it, that you've brought back the SKU and the Date of Purchase as part of the list - but 40 products as a maximum?? Pleeease, I have over 7000 product lines!! How much time do you think I can afford to go through all these pages?! That's nearly the same like the not anymore existing search option for the forums itself. Since Daz deleted the option to download the whole Product Library into an excel file, I started to create my own to keep up and to add as many filters or tags as looked useful. About 10 years ago I printed everything from A-Z to get like this not only a better overview, but to have as well an offline catalogue at hand, which is still very useful. But now it seems as if I have to start completely anew.

It's really a pity, that you didn't add the extra information like required or compatible software and products as well into the list  

I can understand, that the bigger pictures seem to be useful, if you can't look so well - but then, nearly every screen can be enlarged. Why not include another option to let the user decide how to see the product library, so that the screen could be filled as well with much more files?

With the wishlist or the shop it's possible as well - 60, 120 or all items per page - so why not with the product library? And no matter, if I'm online with my PC, a tablet or my smartphone I always choose to see everything at once, even if I have to scroll nearly endlessly. But at least I can copy the whole list at once into excel.

What I see as a real improvement of the shop is, that you put the filters like categories and so on additionally to the left side - that is much easier than before.

But to remove the option to show only the Daz+ items is a mistake. Instead you should have added an option to delete Daz+ items completely from the shop list, because whenever I try to shop with a coupon it's nearly impossible to differ between normal and Daz+ items, because they're not clearly recognizable during the shopping process.
