Did you install it using Daz Central? I f so open Daz Central and it should show a button "Open" click on the down arrow and it will show "Uninstall" just click that and it will uninstall.

Hey,

I come from a background of software development, and I'm looking for tools that are similar to Git and Backup, but for Daz Studio.

Functionalities I need:

1) A way to cloud backup all my project files so that I can recover it easily in case of HDD failure.

2) A way to collaborate as a team with another 3D artist (like git), where we can stage, commit and push changes to a central repository, and the other part can fetch and pull these changes. Dependencies should be handled automatically.

As explained collaboration is tricky but for version control I just use git. The .duf files are binary so you can't do the things you can with text files but you can save different versions and even fork projects pretty easily.

Hello, It would be nice to filter shop, by more criteria.

Specialy find addons that I don't have fort my products, would be very helpful.

P.S.

Im very glad for new DAZ Central, finally I can see genesis versions for all my products :-).

Please continue developing this tool and expand filters :-D!

Thank you.

Are you happy with your current file structure? Are you comfortable with your current download method, be it DIM or manual? Do you use directories other than C:? 

If you answer 'Yes' to any of those questions, consider very carefully downloading Daz Central. 

Just asking before I download another headache.

OK. But I have NEVER installed Daz Central. I have tried resetting the path in the DIM Install Advanced Settings, but this still does not result in a DIM-installed item appearing as installed in the Products folder (though I CAN find it installed in the Legacy folder hierarchy).

People have found that Daz Central reset their custom paths, which woudl lose the previous databse (but restoring the original path setting would bring it back).

In the past 30-40 days, I've been experiencing this issue: I will download and install products through DIM (in two separate actions WITHOUT Daz Studio open), but when I look in the Products folder for these items, all of them are at the bottom of their respective initial alphabet lists and greyed out (as though awaiting Connect installation). The few products that I've checked ARE installed, but I have to go through the Poser legacy folder hierarchy to find them.

Since my troubles coincide with Daz Central's arrival, I'm positing that this is a byproduct of it, as it uses DIM's structure. (I have never installed Daz Central). 

I use the Products folder because I don't have to look up convoluted paths when I know the name of the product.

When this happened last month, I uninstalled each item and singularly installed it until it would show up in the Products folder. However, this does not seem to be working anymore. I've heard that installing by DIM as well as Connect can cause issues, and I'd rather not deal with Connect (although some items refused to show up in the Products folder unless I installed by Connect).

I'm submitting a ticket for this, but my experiences with Tech Support do not inspire hope.

Ok - I've just installed a few new purchases via DIM, same as I always do (with Studio closed). Now after opening Studio there is nothing at all appearing in Smart Content.

The system recognizes I have stuff installed; I can see them in the Products tab. But Files - nothing, with or without Filter by Context checked.

I haven't installed or used Daz Central.

Has this happened to anyone else, and can anyone advise on how to fix it, please?

Edit: And after shutting down and restarting they're back. Don't know what happened there, but glad it's back to normal.

Edit again! No, they're not back. There was only visible content in the Files tab of Smart Content on first opening, with an empty workspace. Once I loaded a character, it went back to before, with content visible in the Products tab only. This is the case even when Filter by Context is unselected so the system is not being asked to be smart. Help please!

I moved all my content to my external "E" drive and everything was working fine, or as fine as Daz gets on a good day. Then "Daz Central" came online. Now I have to load my products twice. First through Daz Install Manager, then through the Smart Content pane. This was a minor annoyance, but then I took my E drive with me to work on content on my laptop. When I plugged it back into my desktop.....All 509 products need to be reloaded. This will take three days. 

What the Hell is going on? Why do I have to load evrything twice? 

Please, any help with this would be greatly appreciated. 

I just bought this too from today's sales and couldn't find it in my smart planning on using it for project was going to enter in a competition too looked it up in my product library to see it's daz central only. This has happened to others with recent products they keep saying they're not but it's looking like we are being pressured into using DC instead of dim. Bought several other things with it but might return the lot as this was the main product really wanted rest was just extra might as well. Funny the main product was every download though

Please understand that it is not Daz Central either, that seems to be being added to every page regardless (so presumably a bug). It looks as if this set, like some others this week, failed to upload correctly and isn't avaialble right now by any method - I'm sure it will be fixed during the course of the day.

No, that's definitely a bug. The other products initially marked "DazCentral" only were not available for download via DazCentral either, all install files were missing.

Hmmm....I see that I have an issue with the "ripped jeans" product mentioned OP. I bought it, but it appears neither in the "ready to download" nor in the "installed" elements of the install manager. Where would I find it?  Am I supposed to download it manually? 

According to the store page, it is either DazCentral or Manual Install, so.. no DIM.

I think they are manual only - Daz Central seems to be listed regardless of whether it works or not. The files are in OBJ only which DS can read from the Content Library pane, but isn't by default set up for (no default path for Other Formats), so a DIM/Connect/Central instalaler wouldn't make sense.

I was attempting to install DAZCENTRAL.  I installed using the default file location.  When I run it, I get the messaqge that DAZ STUDIO is not installed.  My DAZ STUDIO is located in D:\Program Files\Smith Micro\Poser 11\DAZ 3D\DAZStudio4. 

I installed DAZ STUDIO when it first came out and I was still a POSER user.  Seemed like too much of a problem to relocate my runtimes etc.  

I assume that DAZCENTRAL is looking for DAZ STUDIO in the default location.  I'm wondering where I should direct the DAZ CENTRAL installlerso that it sees DAZ STUDIO.

By any chance did you have Daz Studio open at the same time you installed the products? That almost always leads to errors.

THIS really needs to be somehow added to DIM itself, some kind of warning as you log in "Please be sure that Daz Studio is completely shut down before installing products via Install Manager" or something to that effect. Downloading some products via Install Manager while Daz Studio is open can cause some real issues. This is not common knowledge and newbies in particular (of which we have a ton of them lately) need to be made aware of this.

I imagine that this will be no less of an issue with DazCentral, given that DC is a dumbed down version of DIM?  I've not had the urge to repair my Daz content settings, so I haven't downloaded it, but isn't it supposed to be open at the same time as DS or something?

I don't know - I couldn't say anything about Daz Central as I haven't really looked into it yet. Hopefully, it doesn't have that same issue though.

It's still, I assume, working for people who don't have DIM open (I've not used those links, except possibly to check if people are reporting issues).

I do not have DIM open and the links do not work for me. 

I can manually run DAZ Central after a purchase, but not via the after product purchase links. But since I'm comfortable with DIM, I just run that instead of DAZ Central after I purchase something.

What was the reasoning for removing DIM from the after product purchase page? There must be a grand design to all this ...

 

I assume to make it simpler for new users, assuming that DIM users know how to start DIM.  I don't know if Daz3D has data to determine how many people used the old DIM links before vs. launched DIM manually.

It should be at DAZ ... with IM !

DIM just was injured apparently, so yeah, DAZ Central might need a hearse
