I have a question that I'm sure I once knew the answer to. I textured a few things awhile back and put them up at 'Rosity as freebies. They worked beautifully. I also did a boot pkg I sell elsewhere. Again, it worked beautifully. Thumbs etc all worked well in DAZ. I've been working on a Charmed texture. Had some thumbs in there needing resizing on one set. and the other just needed thumbs. For some reason, nothing seems to want to update. I did make sure it's updating content folders automatically and even uninstalled DAZ and dl'd a fresh copy with default settings. Nothing seems to work. I even added a new pz2 file and it refuses to add to the program. Yes, they are all in the proper folders with the proper names. I just don't know why DAZ isn't updating the content folders. I know I once knew the reason but it's been so long since I last textured that I'm sure I'm missing something, tho I know that pz2 file should have shown up regardless. :(

Has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions? I'm getting desperate as I need to get this pkg together before my acct at the store I sell at disables me for lack of new product!

Thanks in advance,
Wolfsong

How many GB's are there in the Runtime?I found that there comes a time when I've just stuffed too much into the  DS Runtime and it takes forever to update.

I got around this by canceling the automatic update and closing DS down every time I added anything new.However eventually I did have to have a clean out of the runtime.

You can force a refresh with a script call. Go to Edit>Customise, right-click (control-click for Mac) on the Custom section and Create new custom action.... Tick the DAZ Script box and paste this bit of code into the text box:

App.getContentMgr().refresh( true );

give it a name and click Accept. Now you can right-click on the new command in the Custom section and assign a keyboard shortcut, or in the right-hand half of the dialogue you can click the Menus tab, expand a menu to put it on (the Content plaette menu being the obvious choice) and drag the command from the left-hand column of the dialogue to the menu in the right hand column. Then press they assigned shortcut or select the command from the Options menu (the triangle button at the top-right of each palette) to refresh the content palette
