Problem with Root Categories function

Devilslake1313

Recently replaced hard drive and Daz has never worked better but found one little problem while adding metadata the add root categories to selected files page has a column and a half of it on the right side off screen mostly the wardrobe function section and cannot seem to scroll or downsize to see it . Does anyone have a tip or clue about this ? Thank you for your time.

To avoid this problem,, I usulally categorize in content library window , not categorize in content DB editor ^^;

I concentrate other setting (compatibility with, declare as,, ,, type,,, ) in content DB editor,
after that, edit category in content library (with multi selection asset,, then r-click then select Categorize, or , drug to smart content category
the categorize of each assets should be recorded as same as editting in content DB editor.

I think,, these type column window seems cause problem about other case too,,,

eg when I import morph by morph loader,, and hope to set path to find it where I hope, in moprh loader dialogue,,
now there are too many path (product, and I added) already.

I it will cover most of my screen easy,, and actually it is difficult to serch path what I want correctly.

on the other hand, when I try to edit path,, in parameter setting,, it is very clear and useful,,.
may better at first make morph in fixed location (eg morph loader section) after that set path,
in parameter setting, or drug with edit mode,,,

I have no problem with categorizing that's easy but the Root Categories to selected files is necessary for assigning metadata to older products and that screen comes up too wide on the display. I merely want a way to down size it or scroll it cause I actually like using these functions. Thank you for responding though.

Ah, Sorry but I think the interface menu's are hard coded. No way to change those that I know of.
At one time I had a stupid Screen hack that would open my Program in a OVER Sized mode that Allowed me to then Scroll Up and down or left and right on screens that did not fit fully on my display, so I could get to parts off screen. That was long ago and I'm not sure if anything like that would work with DAZ Studio but you could look on the net.

Thanks Jaderail I'll give that go . Also I staeted a gallery today maybe you take a look at drcuda77 and let me know if getting a handle on this. It sure is a whole lot of fun since the new hard drive and now everything except that one little thing looks and acts just as it should. Good positive zen for me.

Just peeked at your Gallery. I would say your well on your way with DAZ Studio and rendering. I'm also an Art Studio forum mod which is another place to post user portfolio's if you have not been there yet. Art Studio only lists in the full Forum main list and not in the Mini Menu drop down list.

Thanks again and forgive my spelling omits in the last message I'm a little wiped out from climbing a couple of 100 foot towers fixing APs. I work for a wireless internet service in Alberta Canada but it was a lovely day for it . Take care

I think you seems some miss understanding.

you need not necessarily , add root categories to selected files" in content DB editor.
it should open window, then " that screen comes up too wide on the display" as you said.

when you categorize asset ( one of root category which daz offered, not your original category),
it auto "add root categories about the assets. "

after catetogorize item,, you may find it in content DB editor.
then it should be written in DB. (add meta-data)

Thank you kitakoredaz I will look into that.
