Quote - As this is a feedback thread,
(1) I agree with Tigger Springs about sub-information. There are characters I don't use and would like to bypass.
Yeah, I really miss browsing by-iigure-of-interest for add-ons. Thaats's been gone for a long time, more less. Probably because it's a logistical nightmare for the admin team, if vendors aren't mindful of correct placement. When the old system utilizing the by-figure was still in place, for instance, you'd often find A4/V4 stuff in the A3/V3 categories.
Quote - Along those lines, too, are the Hairstyle products. I'd like to separate out Hair products from textures for Hair products.
Same here. And for separation of clothing models and clothing textures, too.
Quote - Regarding not using the Daz Install Manager (DIM) mentioned above: The TWO EXPLORER WINDOW DRAG METHOD.
For Tigger Spings: I don't use the Daz manager either. In Win7 (and 8) I simply open two explorer windows. I double click on the zip file to open it in one. Then I drag the Daz Runtime folder from it along with the occasional Documents folder (the latter in a separate movement; optional if you want to keep the documenation together) from that explorer window over to the window that shows my destination folder that contains "Runtime" (as opposed to the actual "Runtime" folder itself, if you're managing multiple Runtimes; That is to say you drag into one level up from the folder that has "Runtime" in it).
The wording may sound muddled, but if you go through it you'll see what I mean.
I don't touch the Daz content folder and don't need to rezip the Daz folder at all. You can even archive these files to CDs or DVDs and use this technique leaving everything intact as you get it.
I know. Everyone always says something along those lines. I rezip so that I can archive the properly zipped product on discs or external driive. Thanks, though. So many Poser-related sites have disappeared, I tend to be a little paranoid when it comes to product purchases.
