@DDCreate - ignore the stuff about the FACS folders, that's crept into the explanation that the OP copied here, but isn't actually correct to the method I originally tested.

The stuff about the Cloud folders is probably about Daz Connect installs, but if you used DIM or Central to install the packages, that's unlikely to be a concern.

87F inside my house now at dusk by morning it will be 80F or a bit higher. When I lived in DFW I refused to use air conditionig because of the extreme costs. but, LOL, being in overheated steamy apartments wan't pleasant then and it isn't now, decades later. I at least have an small table model electric Hawaiian Tropic fan nowadays (that adds more to an electric bill then you'd think).

 I am in DFW and ca't live without AC, no matter the cost. I can't sleep when it is hot, have the AC crancked up with the ceailing fan and a stand up fan on me in bed and it still isn't cool enough now.

I don't know how you all afford it. LOL. I hate an electric bill over $35 but nowdays because of inflation I have to pay $55. 

I can sleep through anything apparently. I still know people out there and they say the last few years have been worse than that year in '96, Jul or Aug I think, when smoke from giant fires in Central America obscurred most of Texas skies with smoke from the fires.

Would be great to hear an official update on the status of this project. Think it's safe to say the announcement from last year was premature so it would be professional to dissolve some of the mystery surrounding the situation.

That's what gets to me; the lack of communication concerning what or when to expect something. I understand the M1 Mac is/was a new thing at the time but this process has taken so long that even the M1 Mac is now outdated! I've finally given up on the wait and uninstalled the Daz content on my M1 Macbook Air. I have the 256GB version and can't afford to just let gigs of Daz content continue to waste space on my drive for another 2+ years.

But Daz was able to get 4.x.x.x working on M1 machines, which is why they are not pushing for an early release on DS5 as they were - Install manager seems to eb better than Daz Central on the M1 systems, but once you have that and the current Daz Studio you should be able to work.

I have seen so many 'Database Problems', DIM and Daz Central clashes etc etc that I am glad I never stopped using manual loading of stuff. Helps with freebies from other places where the database entries are not filled in anyway.

Regards,

Richard

Here's a good page (government site, not a tabloid) and that chart is an "uh-oh" moment. Scroll down and look at Pedersen Glacier. Or should I say Pedersen Park.

I know, about the first thing I checked when we moved close-ish to the baltic sea was the predictions of sea level increase for our new area ... There's some severe retribution from nature coming our way, that's for sure. I hope and pray that we'll see sense as a species before it's too late. Have started helping a climate protection organization recently with their texts (I was trained as a journalist aaaages ago) to be doing something at least, however small. And we've just gotten a really neat solar hot water boiler (is that even the correct term here?), two solar panels that attach directly to the boiler. It's quite amazing what's possible these days.

On a more positive note, how unbelievable was this ice dragon from your other post! It's an insect, right? It's a bit like these creatures living in the deepest sea, where no one ever expected any form of life to exist. There's life just about EVERYWHERE, right? Well, as long as we let it ... (I try to hold on to what the wise math guy in Jurassic Park once said: 'Life finds a way.')

I had solar panels with a backup system installed for my house and they're great if the power goes out everything except the stove, clothes dryer and central air still functions and my electric bill is less than half what it was before  

He perlk,

What would I have to do as a tester? I know nothing about SBH except how to buy it from DAZ, install it with DAZ Central and put it on the model's head. That's as far as my knowledge goes. If you could explain to me what this job entails, I would be able to tell if I can help...

Before attempting any convuluted searches and repacking distros etc etc etc try this if the Blender side is not showing the plugin. Install the plugin from Daz Central. In Daz under File - Send To - Daz To Blender when the dialogue box opens tick on Advanced Settings, you will now see the plugin installer for Blender. Select your version etc etc and you should be good to go.

Maybe it's too hot for everyone.  It got to 94 here today...and 87 inside...central air conditioning is dead.

I hope you can get your AC fixed soon

Complaint: I had new  heat pump system installed for about $7k about 3 months ago.  I couldn't really afford it but the old one died and would have been too expensive to repair. So, I had to do something. Yesterday It got to 90 here and the inside temperature got up to 81 

Non-complaint: The AC service tech came and today the inside temperature stayed at the set 76 even though the outside temperature was once again 90

Ordered a new window unit...can't afford to replace the central air system. New one will be in on Monday, at least that's the current plan.  I hope it's correct.  In the meantime, it will be about the same on Friday (tomorrow will be slightly cooler, by a couple degrees, with threats of thunderstorms), but Saturday will be even hotter than today.  And it's only July!  August is usually the worst!  The new unit will cover the two largest rooms on the main level.  I have a small one in my office, so no danger of blue smoke from my computer!

Thank you for your thoughtfulness!

and nothing on the chosen drive? Daz Central usually works, as far as I know (I have my paths set in Install Manager so they are in different places rather than gathered in a single parent folder as with Daz Central).

When moving content, you have to point Daz Studio to the right location. You must set the path in Edit > Preferences > Content > Content Directory Manager.

For the installation, I only use DIM, and the you can set the installations paths by clicking the gear wheel. For DIM (and Daz Central) it is the manifest files that tells the installer where the content is installed, so if moved the manifest files needs to be updated with the new path. Manifest files is text files and can be mass edited with something like Notepad++

I have a dual-boot system, with C: as my boot drive (SSD), and D: as my storage drive (HDD). I installed all my content to my new computer, only to realize after I was done that I made a mistake and put everything on my boot disk instead of my storage disk. I tried simply moving all the files out of the boot disk and into the storage disk, but that made Daz Studio unable to find any of my content, and there's apparently no option to have it search for my content in a different location. I could just move it all back, which would fix the immediate issue. However, more importantly, I want to be able to move everything from the boot disk to the storage disk. The easiest way I can think of to do this would be to just do a complete teardown, uninstalling and deleting everything, and just reinstalling everything from scratch. But it seems like the only way to do that would be to go to Daz Central, click the little arrow next to Open for every single piece of content, and click Uninstall. I'd have to do this for hundreds of products, manually.

Please tell me there's a better way. I just want to start from a clean slate.

Well I'm not sure what you mean by how I'm doing it... I just click on the ''install DAZ Studio'' button on Daz Central, it's pretty much the only option they give me. Then I just follow the steps of the installation which are some ''Next'' buttons for the most part. At some point they give me the choice of which drive I wanna use yet even if I select my :D drive, at the end of the installation everything is on my :C drive instead.
