Multi-Install With DazCentral?

RCDeschene

Is it possible to do a mass installation queue with products in DazCentral like you could do in older Install Manager? I got a lot of content and don't have that kind of time to install each one at a time. I'd use Daz Connect, but not everything shows-up in the Smart Content tab.

Why not just keep using DIM?

Because I heard they stopped supporting DIM for bugs that couldn't be fixed, which is one of the driving reasons why they created DazCentral. I'm sure hoe true this is, but no one has denied it.

As far as I understand it is the same core in DIM and Daz Central, so a bug in one might also be in the other.

And I am not aware of the bugs in DIM you are talking about. At least I have been using DIM since I started, and I have no plans of changing.

I agree with felis - from what Richard Hazeltine says (often) in other threads, they use the same basic process under the covers. The point of Daz Central was said to be that it's an easier interface to use for new users. I'm sticking with DIM for as long as it exists, then I'll go to manual installs!

I'd rather use DIM because it handles everything and has the easiest configuration when you want to put downloads on a separate drive and your library on yet another drive.Neither Connect nor Central can do that as far as I know.

Connect installed scripts/plugins may not function at all.

I've not used Central.Too many war stories and help requests on the forum asking for help to sort out the "install stir fry" one gets trying to use Connect and Central together.

 

btw, you can set DIM max connections from 1-6 on the advanced settings Downloads tab(gear icon>Advanced Settings>Downloads tab.

So you get between 1-6 downloads at the same time.

So I'm better off sticking to DIM then.
