When you open it in PhotoShop, is it the same size as it was in the viewport?

Try rendering to a file and setting the size larger than the viewport dimensions.

On the MenuBar go to Render, Render Settings and post a screenshot of that page.  When you render, does the render appear in the viewport or a file?  What size is it when you open it in Photoshop?

What are your render settings?  Are you using 3Delight or OpenGL?  WHat size are you rendering to?

A few more feature requests, mostly prompted by my desire to have both D|S or Poser and PzDB visible at the same time:

1. Remember if previously opened maximized or in window
2. Remember if AutoGo was previously checked or unchecked (when you open it reverts to AutoGo)
3. "All Off" in addition to "All On" buttons for Categories/Keywords/Libraries
4. I may be missing something, but as I see it, if you're not using a Group you've created, the Keywords section is pretty useless -- it's blank if you're viewing all content, and in the pre-made groups it just includes various spellings/abbreviations for the figure in question.  If it auto-populated with all keywords for items found in your search, that would be fantastic -- you could then refine your search by unchecking keywords.  As it is now, I find it a waste of space most of the time.
5. An "Update All Libraries" option on the Import screen.
6. Options for the layout to be more useful in a smaller window:

a) ability to stack content and search windows vertically instead of horizontally,
b) ability to move the divider to shrink the search window and show more content
c) ability to disable the keyword window or auto-hide it when it's empty, or move it to the right of the Libraries window
d) ability to shrink the various buttons -- it's nice to have a great big Search button when you're starting, but once you're used to the program it takes up a lot of space.
e) The Create Poser Collections button is useless if you're using D|S or a pre-P7 version of Poser.  Even if you have P7, if you're using PzDB in place of the P7 content window, you don't need to create Poser collections.  It would be nice to have an option to hide it.
f) The PzDB import button is kind of useless, since the dropdown doesn't list the libraries, just the dates.  I use the Import screen to update my libraries anyway.

Wonderful!  Just placed my order.

I see how number 5 works, but it doesn't seem to be very useful.  I was hoping it would list all the keywords of items in your latest search so you could narrow it down.

A question and a few requests:

Is there a way to delete a library?

Some of these features have been mentioned before, but I'd like to know which ones you're planning on and a tentative timetable so I can decide whether to buy while the $15 discount is in effect:

1. Option to display filetypes
2. Deleting obsolete entries if items are deleted or folders renamed
3. Importing folders other than Poser libraries (e.g. for D|S content folders)
4. Separate category for DAZ Scripts (.ds/.dsb) and DAZ Scenes (.daz)
5. Implementing the Keyword checkboxes on the search screen (they're there for categories and libraries, but the keyword section is always blank)
6. A mechanism for including readme files

Items 1-3 are particularly important for me.

Quote - well.. it is more than Daz3 (0,0) and the other sites give us

if you go to Daz3d or RuntimeDNA you get one freebee a week
if we are lucky..

So I am very happy with the 1.000 pages here

 

Actually, Daz3D's freestuff forums have over 8200 topics.  The freebies here aren't given by R'osity, they're by people who have uploaded them here, so it isn't reasonable to compare them to just the freebies given directly by Daz3D or RDNA,

To have shadows in D|S you need 3 things:
--a light source that has shadows turned on
--an object that casts shadows
--a surface to receive the shadow

Light sources are often set to "no shadow" by default to reduce render times, so you should make sure you have at least one light with shadows enabled.

Most objects (unless they aren't opaque) cast shadows by default, but they can be turned off.

Most objects receive shadows by default, but backgrounds do not.

If you have all 3 of these and still aren't getting shadows, make sure the light source is pointed the right way and not blocked by another object, and that you are using either software (3delight) rendering or a hardware (OpenGL) rendering that has shadows (if the latter, your grapjhics card must support OpenGL shadows).

The update link on the page seems to be broken.

Quote - 3. While selecting the categories to include, selecting or deselecting a checkbox activates the search, this behavior could be optional. I was doing this one search that returned a great number of items and I had to wait for the same search when deselecting each category to filter it, that was 4 times the same search.

If you uncheck the "Auto Go" box it won't do that.

I have a question:  how do you delete a library?  I don't use the Downloads library but I can't figure out how to delete it.

And do you have an ETA for the next update?  In particular, recognizing D|S files.

Just go to Edit > Preferences > Directories and use the long pulldown button to select "Poser content folders".  Then just add it to the list.  Add everything above the Runtime folder, e.g. "C:Program FilesefrontierPoser6".

Quote - Simple.
The next build of PzDB will index those  .DS and .DSB files too.

Hows that?

That's fantastic!  And that also means you can have the Poser and D|S mats in the same folder and still be able to run either one if you choose, which I know some people didn't like about the combined folder.  And this is another case where showing the extension would be useful.

This is really great -- many of the things I had hoped Advanced Library could do and was very disappointed.  I just hope enough of these get implemented before the 30-day trial expires.

It's great to know you provide such fantastic support, too.

Quote -   And can the order of runtimes be changed?
Each Item gets a Library Number. so you can't change those. But if its important we could create the ability to sort how they appear on the screen.

I'm just wondering because it says the Poser internal runtime needs to be the first one, and I don't keep anything I use there, so I'd like to move it to the bottom of the list. 

Quote - 2) I haven't tested it yet, but I assume if you delete an item from your runtimes PzDB will remove it when you update that runtime?
(Why do you people keep deleteing things from your Libraries?)
That'll be in version 1.1

I sometimes buy things and decide to return them, in which case I need to delete it.  Or as just happened to me, a product that used to work in an external runtime no longer does, and needs to be moved to an internal runtime.

Quote - 3) Can there be an option to display the file extension on filenames?
There could be, but why would you want one?
Whether the hair is CR2 or an HR2  or a PPZ is really moot in PzDB. (finally) That was sorta the idea. The important part is that its Hair and it fits your character.

I like having the extensions because if there are hundreds of items (as there often are in the Pose folder) you may not be able to see the section header that shows you're looking at poses, and sometimes filenames and pngs don't make it obvious.

Thanks for being so quick to respond to all these questions!  I really appreciate it, since I have to decide within 30 days whether to buy it.

The update helps immensely!  One problem and a few questions:

Problem:  Within D|S, if there is a D|S script (.ds/.dsb) in the Poser runtime with the same name as the poser file (e.g. .pz2), D|S knows to run the D|S script instead of the poser file when you double-click it.  If I use PzDB with PRPCDS, D|S runs the poser file instead of the script.

And the questions:

1) Is the Downloads runtime mandatory?  I never use it.  And can the order of runtimes be changed?

1. I haven't tested it yet, but I assume if you delete an item from your runtimes PzDB will remove it when you update that runtime?
2. Can there be an option to display the file extension on filenames?
