Is the product installed in Daz Studio? If so you can put "key::VENDORNAME" in the Smart Content search box.

Not going to work. As I custom install and don't have vendor names in the library. But thanks for the reply

''This is weird. Suddenly the forum software won't let me remove the quotes (iPad). Anyway I may be wrong but the I'm pretty sure the vendor names are in the metadata so even if you install differently, it still should be there.

The products have to be installed with one of the automated methods to get the metadata loaded into the database. Even then, often the Author field is empty ("unavailable") or is simply "DAZ 3D". Sometimes the author field has a different name (or several) than the one in the store, or some cryptic code name. Maybe it has been better lately, but I think there will still be a lot of gaps in any search for a specific vendor.

Metadata can be imported through the Content DB Maintenance dialogue even for manually installed content, assuming their relative location is unchanged.

 But, can it re-import something that was never installed in the first place? Or does the utility grab everything in the support folder, regardless? Just asking to clarify for others, I always install with DIM, so the metadata is there to begin with, but I also re-import, when needed, from DIM.

There are check boxes by each product in the import dialogue (as well as master checkboxes for vendor and user items as a whole).

 Ah, yes, sorry, I should have been more precise. I am familiar with the list of checkboxes and all that about selecting the ones you want. What I meant was: would the list be populated with every metadata file in the support folder, regardless of whether it had been previously installed or not (automatically or manually copied)?

Yes, I suppose doing otherwise might have rather a high overhead.

I don't recall making a list like that. The only list I know of is the one in the first forum message, but it is out of date. There are new plants and ecologies in Britain, but no new features that I know of.

OK thanks. Someone else had a list with all the ecologies, features, etc etc. Yeah, I was trying to find new features and didnt see any. There are wider paths, double paths, etc in the product photos, and I was trying to find them. Do they just add automatically to some whatever terrain? 

Maybe you are looking for Landscape Features Volume 2. But even the base UltraScenery package has a double path (Dirt Track 1).

Seems like a drop-down window for search by vendor would be a no brainer feature for the Product library on the website, wouldn't it?  On Renderosity you can seach that way but DAZ can't.  I suspect that... and I'll stress that this is just a suposition for the rules lawyers out there.... the key difference ilies in how the two companies have traditionally handled purchased items that are no longer actively sold in the store, especially when the vendo no longer sell there.  I can select just about any item in my Rendo library and not only see all the details, but I can look at the same main page that used to be in the store. 

By contrast, DAZ has had minions running through the site with virtual erasers for many years, with the end result being that searching for an item that's no longer in the store not only takes you to a dead page, but it's often missing from the wiki as well, while many vendor names simply vanish.  At least DAZ recently fixed the product library to the point that going to the item at least shows you an image of the item, though how representative of the item that image is and how up to date the details are may be dubious.     

Does anyone knows a character that looks like Debra Winger aka Drusilla Wonder Girl from Wonder Woman Tv show?

DS does not create nested directories unless told to.

What mistake do I do to create these nested directories? It's not on purpose and I have no idea what I do to cause it.

Do you get DS to Search Drives for Files? I don't know if that feature has a check on nested directories as I never use it.

I honestly dont know what I am doing. When I (re)install DS there are a lot of trials and errors before it works. I problably do something stupid along the way, but dont know what.
Anyway, the nested directories are now gone.

Hi, I'm sure if I go digging I might find the ancwer but I'm hopping someone will point me in the right direction. I'm not a Pro member but I'm not getting even the non-pro features such as price history or Show gallery images and forum links for products. I use W10 and Chrome. Any help would be great.

My 3090 is constantly crashing on DAZ Studio - and I mean a total BSOD and reboot in the middle of rendering. I had not been able to solve this (drivers, DAZ Studioupdate...) So you may search if 4090 doesn't have this issue...

I love my 3090 haven't had a BSOD. It flickered a couple of times at first, but then I put separate power lines coming from the PSU all is good...

Hmm, I thought there was an On The Farm product but search didn't find it. Please report that, though I suspect the data is just too much for the plug-in.

Based on previous threads here in the forum, not having enough RAM and malfunctioning/underpowered PSU can cause crashing

Padone,

I didn't see this until now ... probably because the forum didn't email me when you updated your response.

I never got a chance to thank you for the help. I installed the latest Diffeo and the problem has been resolved.

Cheers!

Padone said:

@csaa Thank you for the detailed steps. I can reproduce the issue and opened a report for Thomas. No idea why this happens.

https://bitbucket.org/Diffeomorphic/import_daz/issues/1187/

update. Thomas fixed it, let us know if this works for you.
