PSA: Make sure DIM actually installs your content.

I'm sure the first thing most people do when they buy new content is to load it up to check it out. However, due to the way things load, if you buy a lot of stuff at the same time, it is easy to miss something when checking things out. Sometimes it's days before I stumble across something I had bought, and am like "oh, so that's where that went".

So, with the great sale on Genesis stuff, I've purchased 35 items over the last 2 days and I used the DIM to install them. Amongst them were 4 items for an upcoming diner scene, the Short Order Cook, 1950's Waitress, 1950's Casual Female, and 1950's Casual Male, all by Ravenhair.
When I went to check out the outfits, I could not find 1950's casual male anywhere. (was expecting it with the other 1950's outfits, but it wasn't there).

I double checked that I had actually bought it, and found it on my own content list here at Daz, so I tried using the DIM again to download it. no dice. I manually downloaded it and installed it, expecting to get a host of Duplicate files found messages, but it installed fine manually, and it was then found exactly where I expected it, with the other 1950's outfits... I can only conclude that the DIM, for whatever reason, did not install this content, making me wonder what else it hasn't installed... And I plan on going through the list here pretty soon, and not looking forward to it.

This is the one that didn't install, in case the admins want to look into it further:

imo, manual is the best way to stay organized.

extract my catch of the day to a temp content folder.
rename all the folders, delete the advertising thumbnails some vendors stick in there, then drop into my library.

right click on the pack and select show installed files and that will tell you where it got installed to so you know exactly where its at. You can also click on the "i with a circle around it" and that will take you to the readme page. You can also sort by date purchased so you can look at that view as well so you don't forget anything/
