chohole I am well aware of this. Richard and Adam are just well know online freinds of mine on the forum team. I PM with them quite a bit. I also figured you for a no vote.
When I was on the forum; an off the top of my head figure, I'd say I was posted 5 times helping people for every rant. I had just as many thanks DAZ thread as dambed DAZ threads. But no body remembers those. My thanks DAZ threads died the day they were made. My dambed DAZ threads lasted for weeks. I think the problem is people are judging me for the bad while ignoring the good.
takezo, thanks, that is what this thread is suposed to be about. Not so much dambing DAZ for something that may be a year in the making. But giving explanations at to why this system wouldn't work for you or how you may appreciate it.
And I agree. I have been using content for 7 years. I have a vast collection of content sorted to suit me. How is an automated install system going to work with a nonstandard content folder or nonconglomerate runtime/s?
In case some people have missed it there is an updates forum on the DAZ forum now. That is cool in a couple of was.
Looks like there is already an alturnative to the CMS autoupdate in place. Now I hope it remains there. I just stumbled over it last night and I see I have most of the stuff that has been updated :D
DAZ is updating installers; even though it is with the new ones which are probably the worst ones DAZ has made so far. Just why would I want a desk top and start menu short cut to the content I just installed :?
