Thank you. I've had similar issues while trying to convert props from DUF/DSF format to Poser that are too complex to figure via dsf Tools.

Poser, you can usually drag/drop PP2, CR2 etc directly into scene from an external folder, and the program cheerfully prompts to browse for textures etc. Try that with a DUF in DS, it just lists the missing files, offers no route to locate them.And such teeny, tiny print, too...

IMHO,Compared with the simplicity of Poser's 'External Directories', which can be anywhere in your PC or 'drive mapped' local network, DS Manual Install is so unfriendly, I must wonder if Daz is trying to hobble 3rd party products and move to an 'Apple' model...
