Cross posting LOL, ley me get caught up.

"they delete posts and ban people over their attitude to fellow posters."

That too, but not why I was banned, and certainly not the only things DAZ deletes or bans people for.

"Just how would you like to see the install and update process work."

With zip files and better instructions, but that door has already been slamed. I can downlaod a zip file, unzip it, check it, cut paste done. Can't get easier then that. I know this wont work for MAC folk, but this is an option that has already been dismissed and I can't think of anything as easy.

"We also have more users confused on finding the installed content in the applications."

Do you think that may be because the installers have gotten so complex? Or that many of the installers are old and out of date, but people don't realize it and just run through clicking buttons. I persoanlly don't think a fully automated system is the answer. Then you have to look at the change in the name of the content folder, did this do anything aside from confuse people? And the studio content folder it's self is confusing. It's hard to find anything in it even when you know where it should be.

Now I will congratualt DAZ on finally starting to update old installers regarless of the motivation.

who3d with you on the uninstalling. I wish there was an app that I could just point to a cr2 and have it pull it and all it's dependent files out of my runtime.

I work in runtimes. They are organized by figure. I can find my newly installd content easily and with out help. I started running a studio content folder when I started working with optitex clothes. That was they only content in there; and I am so glad optitex dumped installers for zips, makes it so much easier for me. Then Genesis and it's bit of content was added to that. My studio "my library" folder looks like some one just dumped all the folders from a filing cabnet in the middle of the room.  I have a hard time finding anything in it because of the lack of a set orgenisation of folders and the dozens and dozens of empty, go no where folders.

My opinon is the biggest problem with installing and finding content in studio is the studio content folder.

 

"Oh Manlystanly, You are so good at knowing what DAZ is doing."

Well yes, actually I am. Remember my record is 15/18 now. :) Now, knowing that go back and read my first post again, kind of gives you the willies doesn't it.

Warriorpoet2006 don't trip too much on what I've said about CMS. It can't do that; yet. Right now as far as I can tell it is of the most use to people with no orgenizational skills. Or people that just don't want to be bothered organizing their content. As in if I load V4 I know any of the clothes there, are for V4 because V4 has her own folder and the only clothes there are for her.

So how could an installer be easier? double click and it opens, I agree to the EULA, next screen I click no uninstaller, no meta date, installing in poser format, next page I browsr to my runtime. Once that is done  the next installer ask me too agree, I click yes, do I want to install with the previous settings I click yes, and it installs. That is about as simple as it would get, and I would much prefer over having it done for me.

DAZ just seems to have forgotten the KISS princaple.
