pappy

Evil. Stan got it right. CMS is one of the 'phone home' sort of apps. It is supposed to help keep your content and DAZ software up to date. Sometimes it works and some times it doesn't. That and the phone home aspect of it is enough to keep me miles away from it.

DIM is DAZ's answer to the 'complicated' task of installing their content. As Stan said, it goes a long way in complicating a very simple task. Even if you do jump through the right hoops, there is no guarantee it will work as expected for you. DIM is another bit of DAZ kit that I stay far away from.

You've got that right Books!

I knew CMS was trouble when they first announced it in the forums. Even got a few posts deleted when I warned against "phone home" aspect. I heard it works, but not always like you want it to.

DIM is another one I saw trouble coming from. I wasn't a big fan of zips, because I liked the way the old installers worked, but since people kept having trouble with the BitRock installers, I really didn't mind the change, UNTIL I found out the zips don't have ReadMe files. You have to be connected to the Internet to read those. My work computer isn't connected to the web.

Daz told me DIM would solve our problems. If that's the case, why all the threads saying "where are my_______________"?

DIM & CMS are the evil twins.
