Ahh, well the specific broken items I was refering to do happen to be in lost and found but have no name, a filesize of 0 bytes, a creation and modification date of Monday 1st of January 1601 12:00am - I think that was a little before Daz Studio was made so certainly a little bit wrong. They do have the Product listed against them so there is a clue to where they came from. Files with unsupported characters are the usual cuplrit but I have not had time to track down all of them so there may be others.
The general lost and found issue is still annoying tho and will affect anyone that uses the Smart Content. It would be nice if the QA started to include that in their workflow to block products with missing metadata since it does rather defeat the purpose of having Smart Content if some items would not appear in it.
To add to your frustration I also have the Autumn Cottage and can confirm it opens fine on both my machines. Not done any renders with it yet but it does not crash Daz when I open it.
As for the other thing about the free gifts being taken away, that is not something I have knowledge about. I've only really been using Daz for about 6 months or so so have not witnessed anything like that. I do have DIM set to retain the downloaded ZIPs so I should probably back those up somewhere just in case.
Thread: Tips for Using an External Drive for Daz Content? | Forum: DAZ|Studio
Just weighing in to say that sharing the Daz content on a shared drive is quite possible. I have DAZ Studio installed on both my Mac and a Windows PC and use a network storage drive for all the assets. Since I am very much a Mac user I tend to purchase and install all my assets via the Mac but obviously the Windows machine is much better at doing the actual Rendering.
This setup works fine - although I am sure it is a bit slower than using native drives. However, as Richard has said installing on one machine obviously does not update the database on the second machine so you will have to do the re-import meta data on the second machine. Unfortuantely, Daz does not have a way of only displaying the products by date on that window and so I tend to just re-import everything - which for my setup and asset count takes about 10 minutes. Not tried moving the database to the network drive tho as that would probably lead to corruption in my setup if I am running both machines at the same time.
One thing to watch out for - maybe just limited to my setup with a Mac and windows machine and network drive - is that I have had a few Products with "broken" installs due to certain characters used in the file or path names. Not dug into them to find out if the actual package is wrong or just not compatible with my setup but something to maybe watch out for.
