Daz connect for their site

[Neimrok]

So this is an improvement ... how?

You're kidding, J!
Rather a new source of problems, methink.
That's why I don't plan to use this application, although I'm a DAZ user.

[Jherrith]

You are most assuredly correct

We be not a DAZ user and will never but I am pleased to see that even DAZ users are resistant to their control of how content is installed

Thank You so much for this FAQ link Aelin, I have actualy made it work on my external HD thanks to this http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/990392/#Comment_990392

Also there are offline files that You can keep like usual archives on external HD and install while working offline, which is a very good thing to have. For one it looks good being able to know what products You actualy have with pictures in DS, about rest I am still not sure but it seems I will be able to work with it in DS at least :).

 :eyescan: All this seems really complicated. And for the moment the pack refuses to work with me.
I download it when i was online. But always the product librarie of the site said "offline". The result is i can't use the pack.
So i will remove it, and wait for a change of mentality of their part, several years if necessary. Because now using Daz is really more difficult than using Poser!

I'm happy to have kept my old DS3 in any case.

When DAZ created DIM, I downloaded it, installed it and launched it. It never worked on my PC.
So, I got rid of it and kept on downloading and installing my DAZ content manually.
Sometimes, the files structures in the ZIP files don't fit to me. No problem with that, I change them in my DAZ directory. It might take time but I never had issues and my DAZ content always worked fine, without needing to use DIM.
And this time, I don't want even try to use that DAZ Connect, which moreover seems not to work really fine. I'm gonna keep on downloading and installing manually my DAZ content.
And if one day, DAZ decides that DAZ Connect is the only way to install their content, I won't be any longer one of their customers. That's it!

Yes i do the same thing, including for Geometries and Textures. It take a little time, but at least i have a good runtime, and i avoid too much folders in the roots of Geometries now.
In DS4, not possible until now for me. Except with Notepad ++ if i remember that Childe of Fyre said me once on Deviantart.

And for new packs, it will be their new system now.

Oh well before 2 years I was thinking that 3d art is just too complicated and storing lots of files. I am just glad I didn't gave up on it due to advice of a wiser friend.

It works for me, yeah it is a bit harder to get into it but it has product sorting and some additional info. I agree that they should leave manual installation option, it is much easier to handle files and keep them.
