Subject: Installing your Runtime (free program)

Oh well, missed out again. $10 US is a bit out my reach now (particularly since I make a third of what I used to back in the US - nurses in Oz are ridiculously ill-paid) for a utility I'm not sure I'd use, since I don't just unzip files and leave them in their default folders: they go into a test folder first, get checked for usability, cr2s are stripped of existing standard morphs and re-morphed for my characters with Morph Clothes. Shaders are carefully studied, code written for Matmatic and the materials gamma-corrected with Parmatic support (if one of Bantha's free GC wacros won't fill the bill, which most of the time they do), and then the items are moved into their final locations, IF they prove themselves usable.

I've wasted more money on items that promise but don't deliver... thank goodness for tools like Morph Clothes, Poser File Editor, Matmatic and Parmatic. Interestingly, I find I use the free tools more than the ones I spend money on.

Go figure.

Hi RobynsVeil,

This tool wouldn't be terribly useful to you because of the reorganizing that you do after content has been installed.  It is designed primarily for installing lots of content quickly - i.e. after having purchased several products or after a hard disk crash or after rebuild of your PC.

Regards

I believe you're right, AHudson. For 99% of the Poser community, this IS a godsend... reading this thread confirms that.

But, I'm a really weird fish... ask anyone.

Thanks for your reply.

I do still use the original free installer, even though I extract to a temporary folder and then rearrange everything severely afterwards. When I have a bunch of stuff in disparate formats, I still believe it speeds things up.

 There's a new free installer WIP in the DAZ Freepozitory - it deals only with the new DAZ Bitrock installers at present, but it seems there are plans to expand this to other archives later.
