OK...DAZ says this will be updated to be more friendly(I guess more options?). They closed this so I am posting my simple solution here. For anyone who cares. In my case the addition of quotes in the mtllib statement in obj caused disappearance of textures. I would still like to see an option for full paths rather than relative. DAZ says both the mtllib statement in obj needs to be be FULLY supported(in my case, quotes vs non quotes :D apparently some syntax change has occurred)Also the support for proper mtl file reading. MUST HAVE BOTH. DAZ apparently doesn't fully support it's own exported mtl. That's from which all my D|S import errors seem to be originating. I don't know what they were thinking there. (Maybe you would never import and exported D|S obj?)

No need to think outside the box....
