Batch Render for DAZ Studio 4 and RIB Update???

Can anyone tell me if the Batch Render for DAZ Studio 4 and RIB (https://www.daz3d.com/batch-render-for-daz-studio-4-and-rib) has been updated to run in 4.15? I purchased this back in November when I still had 4.12 and it ran fine. After going to 4.14 and then 4.15, it no longer runs as expected. It still does a batch render of files but it overrides the scene settings even when checked to use the settings that were saved with the file. I use 3delight for my renders and I save my files with that render engine to be used. When I run the script in 4.14 and 4.15, it overrides and attempts to render in iRay. At first, I thought it was Studio that was overriding my settings, but after playing with 4.15 last night I'm convinced that the script is losing something in translation. The product is no longer available here in the store. And when I pull up the product page it says 4.15 is supported but I think that's just a generic setting for all product listings unless otherwise specified. I could download from my product library and reinstall, but what's the point if it's the same version I have? I have a backup batch renderer but it's not as feature-rich as this one. And I found one over at Rendo that looks similar but it costs a few bucks more.

    Sadly Dragonstorm passed away a few years ago. Since Daz didn't create the product, you won't see an update.

    Thanks. I'm surprised it was still in the store after her passing being so long ago.

    Some things move slow at Daz.

    Unless her heir(s) decided not to sell it anymore there's no reason to remove it if it still works and sells.

    Well it was removed soon after I bought it, so apparently, there must be some issues. I had to go into my product library to find the product page. I tried do a blanket search for it and it doesn't come up in the search listings. And I searched for "batch"...

    It’s still in the store. Search hides items you own by default. If you uncheck that you’ll find it.

    I did and it didn't. Usually my browser refreshes itself when I change options like that. Tried it again today and it didn't. Hmmm...

    Interesting. I had to logout to get it to show up when searching for "batch". I tried unchecking the "hide items I own" box and nothing happened. Refreshed the search and still didn't pop up and the box got rechecked. Logged out and lo and behold there it is. I still wish it could be updated though. For now, I'll use D3D's until it doesn't work anymore.

    Yeah I can't use it anymore because it overrides my scene settings and renders in Iray although I have it set for 3delight and have the box checked to use the scene settings. Worked fine in 4.12. It only started doing this in 4.14 and now 4.15. I'm not sure what's changed. So far, D3D's version is working.

    I have found a lot of script based items inclduing those ATGL poses don't work in new studio. I use 'look at me' a lot as well. 

    I have 4.11 installed and use that for a lot of things. And the new studio only when I need to use G8.1
