Would it be such an imposition for Renderosity vendors to include meta data for their products... Over the past several months, I had purchased a metric sh*t ton of products for V7 and its variants only not find the stuff in DS. I even forget what I bought over time... Sure, it shows under the content folders... But would be a lot nicer if I could select V7 and find it under smart content. Is this such a big deal for vendors to include this? While I'm pissin" and moanin'... How about some thought on naming? I'm sure most of us have a few hundred gigs of content by now. I do... But I can't find anything half the time because of the product is either written in a foreign language or not named at all... Example 1, you're looking for a hat in search and you come up with a few "hat's" but the not the one you wanted because someone named it chapeau or even worse GHD5643. Is there no standard in product naming? I realize that English is not everyone's first language or even a second. But geesh, I have a lot of content I'll never find due to naming. It's almost nessecary for DS or Poser to have a built in translator.

I will pass this on JPayne I admit I have a similar problem and quantity. It may not be possible I am of the thought that the smart content is controlled by the Daz "DIM" and could be a feature for their own PA's. I am only guessing but I can't think of a single product I have purchased outside of the Daz store that has showed up in my Smart Contents.

I just found a great tutorial by Sloshdaz on how to make smart content for existing files that don't have any. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-sdHEBNCB4 He did a great job on it and made it essentially moron proof which is good for me :) Which brings me back to my original question... Why in hell is it so difficult for Renderosity vendors (some of which are also Daz vendors) to include this with products sold here?

Moron proof I do like a challenge thats just see exactly how moron proof it is. I will come back tomorrow and see if you can help me find my entire library :-). Sloshdaz is a familiar name though so could be a good start.

It's pretty easy to use, however, I'd love someone to make this scriptable. I can see how I could mess things up pretty good if not paying attention. Of course, this wouldn't be an issue if vendors would just do it in the first place.
