installs through Connect in Daz, are not updated in DIM?

pkappetein

For some reason, I thought that  when you install items through Connect in Studio,

The items will not show / or show as installed  in  DIM,  so you don't end up installing it 2 times.

But I guess i am wrong..  

Is there a way to see what is NOT installed in DIM at all?

I have almost 5000 items in DIM, and in Connect I installed most if them already..    I was looking for the ones that can only be done through dIM,   but it's a pain to find which ones

Thank you

In DIM, click pn the magnifying glass used for selecting filters. A list of filter types will open. You can select Not Connect Available. The filter text is

 tag::all::rx::^.*(?:(?!.*(Software|Plugin|CloudAvailable|CloudInstalled))DAZStudio4_5).*$

As far as the Ready to Download tab goes, uncheck Connect installed (and optionally Connect Available) in the Download Filters list.

hm, that list is completely empty.

it opens up a folder

C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\UserAccounts\Account

I entered the line, and hit save, so I do have a filter now.

But I do see items in there, that are also available through connect.   like Lilth 7

Also,  since it's filled out in the box,  I cannot type a search for a name in it.

 

Unchecking the Connect items  in the Download filter list,  only gets rid of a view.  I still have 4300 items, which most of them are in Connect in Daz.

this is the 64 bit DIM btw.   I don't recall having problems in the past with the 32 bit one.  I was pretty sure the 2 were looking at eachother and showed that it was installed/downloaded

Actually that is possible - use && (with spaces either side) to add a second filter, e.g. && Lilith 7

Thanks,  but it's a pain to go through 4000 that are left over. 

I tried installing through DIM,  but then  i get files not found etc,   so was going to install through Connect,  but then  DIM keeps showing the ones that I installed.

and I can't inmagine to add like && lillith 7 && lillith 6 && lillith 5 && Michael 5 && Michael 6 && Michael 7  etc etc etc etc

There has to be a better way?

did some searching in the forum,  

I only use postgresql  now (think that's what it was called).

Could that be a problem, that it's not looking at what is already installed?

PostgreSQL is the database used for the Content Management System - it has been the only database engine used since DS 4.9, as I recall, when Valentina support was dropped.
