Quote - I cannot answer this with any certainty, we are trying to get basic functionality in order first, then we will work on things like this. What we would ultimately love is DAZ file format support inside of Poser, but that may or may not ever happen. Until then it's going to be something of a workaround jury-rig kind of thing.
Whatever you guys do, please keep in mind that in orderto get people interested in more content is to let them have time to actually use it, and figure out they are missing this or that piece for their ideal scene.
In many years of using this stuff before I vecame a vendor, I can't telly you how may times, by the time I installed the content via individual installers, one by one, all my free time was gone, and I never got to actually play with it, till the next day or next week when I found some more time for the hobby, and by then the time to capture my interest was long gone.
Zip files, I can purchase 20 items, unzip them all with one right click (if I don't get into runtime sorting), and be off to play.
I remember when I was fresh out of college way back when, and got my forst engineering job, one of my mentors was this old timer engineer. His favorite saying was "Keep it simple, stupid". While I'm aware that things can sometimes get into the extreme of too simple, in case of the installers (which are only getting more and more complicated) the erring is on the side of too much.
If DAZ has non-exclusive product, and it was shared with another store, which had the same thing, except in zip or simpler more time effective installers, I'd always get it fron the 'other store'
