Quote - OK  thanks for all your help... I have another questions...

When I open DAZ, it seems like there's more and more files open of the same thing.. more each time I open it... Does it have a cashe that needs to be cleared out or something?  and How do I do it?  I tried clearing out my temp folders but that didn't do it.  

THANKS!

I come on. I've the same problem, with a curious behaviour of D|S which accepts deleting directories ONLY if there are files in. D|S refuses to delete empty directories. I was unsuccessful with localizing the cache-file.

Well I found a solution of this problem, but I'm affraid it can't be usefull for you as it's dependent of my particular workflow: I install only the characters and props I use in a project and uninstall them as soon as the project is finished.

This idea came to me from a video-tutorial (90Mo, 35mn) viewing which I noticed that 80% of the video runing time was showing the teacher browsing hundreds and hundreds directories and only 20% dedicated to do something usefull. Guess that in real life his workflow runs in the same maner, i.e a 80% of  losses in his working time.

So, cica, I you are interested, (sorry for my poor english), tell me, and  I'll explain to you how I did for never have any problem with D|S hierarchies & content showing.

Hi fran, I'm just a beginner with 3D and D|S and as all beginner I hurried with voracity to download the quite-all free stuff of DAZ's (a hundred packages of any kind) and about 40-50 Platinium $1.99 items. After installing them, that was representing not far from 7500 files of morphs, mats, textures, figures, poses etc...for that reason I let me beeing seduced by the Advance Librairy and the 3D content manager plug-in, wich I bought and installed.

After an hour of vain fighting, I threw the sponge, recognized my defeat, and gave to the winner a place of honour in a chest in a cave in a dungeon in a castel in my 99% full hard Drive.

Then I took my 99% empty skull in my hands and tried to find a solution. and found it. Now I'm happy. As said Incognitas here above, using plugins could sometimes be damageable for your psychic health. Friendly, LocusSolus.
