Why are products suddenly uninstalled?

Griffin Avid

Seems like it only happens to poses, where anything that was installed with DIM in now uninstalled in Smart Content.

Products that used to be fine, are now missing their thumbnails and need to be installed (through Smart Content) in order to be used.

Anyone else seeing this?

Are the poses installed to a diffrent content directory from the other content?

Griffin Avid

Not sure what you mean. I have my custom-created folder like ..."Daz 2017 content" and then there is the cloud folder.

When I did a fresh install OF ALL my content, it all was fine, but now everytime I open Daz, there is another product that needs to be installed (again).

Only poses were done with DIM because many of the pose converters won't work with the cloud locations

So all the main [non poses] content is installed automatically from inside Daz, but it's like it can't keep those DIM installed products as part of my smart content library and I have to reinstall them all over again.

And, as I understand, that will break all those products from being properly converted between generations using stuff like Zev0's products.

OK, that sounds like a communication issue - though I'm not sure how items could gradually drop out even then.

Yep, it's still happening. I'm getting products that show up, but have lost their thumbnails. And the only way to get them back in to install.

It's always poses and again, those are the only files that I manually install using DIM.

Also, there's some kind of shuffling going on. If I sort the Smart Content a certain way. A day or so later, using that same sort will list the items differently.

The new product, that needed installing WASN'T near the top results for any sort, but today when I opened Smart Content, it was in the top 5 rows.

And I think I was sorting by ...install date. So something happened to reset that product BEFORE I had to manually reinstall it.

Maybe it lost its Meta data and Daz 'forgot' its whereabouts.

Puzzling.

I also notice that products that use ies profiles (lighting settings) can never find the profile. It gets the folder right, but can't load a profile on its own. Choosing SKIP doesn't get me past the propt screen, only STOP ASKING.
