I have not used the C4D Bridge in about 6 months or more and it used to work. Any way, I looked to use it today and did not see it in Daz so I opened Daz Central and I saw a new version so I clicked install and then Open. Same problem, it does not show up in the Send To drop down.

Attached is a screen shot of the drop down and of the About Installed Plugins to show the plugin is installed, enabled and green but not on the drop down list

Find it hard to get upset about it at the moment. It's a relatively incremental change that I can see here in the UK, affecting the shop only at the moment.

1. The sales page font feels a bit smaller - presumably based on the assumption my screen grew last night, but unfortunately it didn't. So it feels as if I'm squinting a bit more. Or maybe I aged lots last night.
2. It's good that DAZ Central has been removed and replaced with DIM as the first introduction people have to downloading Studio.
3. Otherwise that huge menu-image bar that drops down is an irritant, but a darned sight less intrusive than most/many website ones. If the DAZ website wants to cut my screen real-estate down with that image bar, it only reduces the amount of potentially attractive purchases I can see, which may have a knock on with reduced sales. However, I'm not one to complain - as it helps me hang onto my money. As a sales gambit, my inner cheapskate is all for making the shop totally impossible to see with ever bigger dropdown banners.
4. The speed at which the menu-image bar drops down fast enough to be triggered when moving the mouse to & from the browser's back button - might be better if it took a little longer before it drops down so a fast sweep across it doesn't trigger it.

One thing I did notice last night was that even in 'Desktop View' on an Andriod Tablet, I could not see the 'Required Products' line on a sale page even on those where I knew it existed. That occurred on a tablet with an 800 pixel width. Might be worth seeing if it was a changeover glitch or permanent. If permanent, it could be a problem as it's not visible in the standard mobile view either.

Regards,

Richard

While folks have mentioned this in other threads including the official commercial support thread, I thought to bring it up here. https://www.daz3d.com/figure-converter-for-genesis-9 does not appear in DIM nor DAZ Central while it is available for manual download in our Product Libraries. Since this is a plug-in it can lead to issues for users to manually install from the zip files if they don't drop them into the DIM install folder.

As noted in the other thread(s), this is being investigated.

Either way, serious eye conditions not only steal your artistic dreams, they steal your day to day life.  Still, I hope for the best and that I won't lose my central vision too fast and that it will take 5-10 years.

Hello Silene - Sorry to hear of your eye condition. Hope the treatment works and you get many more miles use out of those peepers !

Help!

Same - I manually downloaded  the file from the account screen. Open the zip and you'll find the PDF guide where ManFriday also includes instructions on how to install the file properly - glad he included that!

Cricket. A game with a ball and a stick... just like baseball but with more complicated scoring!

One other difference is the length a batter (OK, batsman) spends at bat - minutes for baseball, hours sometimes for cricket.  I searched for the record:  Hanif Mohammad (Pakistan, 1958) – 970 Minutes (337 Runs)  Someone said its moe like Home Run Derby in baseball.

But I do like the cricket culture in the UK. The fans bring elaborate picnics for when the players 'break for lunch' and later 'break for tea'. Can't see that with baseball. 

We do have the 7th inning stretch, but yes, not really the same.  And beer rather than tea.

Anyways,  I do like cricket, and no, I don't love it as sung in Dreadlock Holiday 10CC.

I'm a 10CC fan but I had to look that one up.  Good reggae beat 

BTW... I have had to step away from Carrara and the computer in general. I hav been diagnosed with dry macular degeneration. I am trying the treatment with light as there have been some promising results, but it is still being tested.  If interested google photobiomodulation for AMD.   

I wonder if Misty also had this in connection with her detached retina.

Sorry to hear that.  Sounds like you'r doing what you can. Fingers crossed indeed.  

Which plug-in?

The issues with thinking thingsa re not isntalled is probably not finding the manifestr files created on isntalaltion, which is how DIM and Daz Central track their actions.

Oh no. I have thousands of items installed.Can things be installed manually and still show up in smart content? After playing around DIM and Daz Central see everything is installed but there are no install dates and nothing shows up in Smart Content.

Hello,

I had a problem yesterday with Daz Sudio and Daz Central and DIM. It turns out that somehow the external drive that I had everything installed to had, for some reason, reassigned the drive letter. I have changed the drive letter back but DAZ Studio will not show Smart Content now, however I can find everything if I look in the content library, It also seems the DIM and Daz Central are now messed up too. I tried fixing the paths and both DIM and DazCentral now see where all the downloads are but they think nothing is installed. Does anyone know how to fix these problems?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I would uninstall everything you installed with DazCentral, and uninstall DazCentral as well. Reinstall the uninstalled content using DIM.

Check in DIM the location of the Manifest folder (gear icon - Basic Settings). If any is wrong, click gear icon - Advanced Settings and change as needed. Do the same to check the Database location. In Daz Studio, select Edit - Preferences, CMS tab and check that the Database location matches.

----ah! Big Duh!  I start up a DAZ Studio session automatically defaulted to "connect" to store as I assumed it was just to make a bridge to the store.  I will change that to "work offline", save a ton of space on my C drive, too. 

Thank you for your patience in explaining this to me. Now I know I have a choice, and where the heck those json files came from.

Cricket was very popular in northern Virginia where I started my teaching career.  Some of the students would shut down the center of campus and use the central open lawn to play.  There was a convenient sidewalk to set up the bowling area.  A wealthy alum is involved with professional cricket and is reportedly donating money toward a pro/college cricket facility if the school spends....

I checked the "My DAZ Connect" folder today dated as of yesterday  There is nothing in the folder except a folder labeled "data", and that's empty.  A few days ago, it had 2 kinds of records, one being json other meta. I don't know what was going on there, how those files got to My Daz Connect, and how did they vanish? Perhaps, those are the files I saw being uploaded which I tried to stop unsuccessfully. I think around 12,000 files! I have lost some thumbnails in Smart Content panel, but that's no big problem for me. I can rebuild new paths back to my local folders.

Oddly enough, the same happened to me yesterday. Luckily, I could reset my theme to retrieve all the panels, and I don't have many custom actions, so those were quickly renewd as well.

Did you perhaps update DIM? That's the only thing I can think of that could have triggered this oddity. I didn't move any files, and my Studio doesn't log in to Connect, so the software shouldn't be 'phoning home' to trigger such an error.

No, I always use Daz Central, never even installed DIM. Daz Central is also the only DS relevant thing i started in between my 2 DS Sessions. I didn't changed anything on my compouter at all in the meantime, the menus just disappeared from one day to the next. I also work offline in DS, Version is 4.21.0.5.

The menus and layout are quick to re-setup for me, but the custom actions hurt a lot. I still hope i can resque them. I mean, everything in my customactions.dsx is still there and linked properly, the file just gets ignored by DS somehow, for my understandings. I created a new customaction because I thought DS would maybe generate a new customactions.dsx then, where i could copy the code from the old customactions.dsx into. But I can't find a new one. The customaction is successfully created, shown and is working in DS, but I have no idea where Daz links the information now. Not in my customactions.dsx anymore, it seems.

But thanks for the reply, interesting that you had the same problem. I already thought it must have been my mistake, because I could find no other people/threads with the same problem. Even though I've absolutly no idea how I could've caused this. But now that we're 2 already, I maybe give it some more days, before I resetup all my custom actions by hand. :)

And one more question: Is there any menu in DS, where I can see or even set the path to the customactions.dsx? Or is this going hand in hand with the chosen layout or the like?

iinstalled through central-

ok ill uninstall and reinstall like you said

is uninstalling needed before reinstalling?

I assume you have the library where you have installed it added under Poser formats in addition to Daz formats - if you are installing via DIM/Central to the initial base library then I think this should already be the case but just wanted to check.

Just a quick update.

We added G9 support to the ROG Fantasy shields. G9 versions should be there if you update the product through install manager or Daz Central. Store page doesn't reflect the G9 support yet.

We're also adding G9 support to the Brutal Weapons for G8 product.

Do you think you would add G9 support for Bonebreaker, even as add-on or new product, recognising that it takes significant work?

Autofit works fine for some components, but other components not so much.
