FWIW, you CAN make metadata for Renderosity content, it just will take some work from you to do it. I'm going to assume that the script cannot work without this metadata because without it how does the script even know what figure the outfit is for? Even doing all the work of transferring the clothing by hand asks that you change the metadata from G3 to G8 if you save it back to the library.

I install everything with DIM and I don't use smart content at all, does that mean I can't use the clothing converter? That it only works with the smart content tab?
The metadata tells the script what type of file it is. Otherwise, it is *really* hard to tell. You can find out the general info by parsing the file (not something I want to do), but even there, it doesn't seem like there is enough information without actually applying the file, trying to figure out what it does, and going from there.
The log says

The metadata/Content Management System (CMS) lets the script know what the file is. Otherwise, you have to do things by trial-and-error.
Hmmm... Ok, this is useful. Obviously, "clothing" is in the path. I made a mistake on the function that tries to create the output file path. Let me look at it.
NO, Smart Content tab is not needed. The *CMS* is USED by Smart Content and by the script for basically the same things, but Smart Content is not needed.
Laurie is exactly right. Thank you for the help
Ok good to know. Right now I am just watching to see how its working for thow who have purchased already, if everything is good I will probably purchase soon
Okay, I do not have a MyLibrary. Its always been myDaz3dLibrary (its the way DIM installed it back in version 4.8. And my daz connect is located in the same tier as myDaz3dLibrary not inside it. And when I click on an item downloaded to my connect library its takes me to a weird data/data/data/ some numbers/cloud address. I wonder if I should rename my MyDaz3dlibrary to MyLibrary and then reinstall connect to my library. I have no idea why it installed that way but when I asked about it they said the MyDaz3flibrary and mylibrary were the same thing and not to worry about it.
Strange. Well the important point is that you should not use the same folders as the input folder for the converted clothes. Name the output folder whatever you want, e.g., D:/MyCoolLib/People/Genesis 8 Female/Clothing
Ok I will give that a try thanks!
This is a new product you may have missed that will help those of you with items from other places and DAZ items missing Meta info. It seems quick and easy to populate Smart Content and by default the METADATA needed for these conversions to work. https://www.daz3d.com/smartening-up-the-daz-studio-database
Ok, the attached script is a hopefully temporary fix for most people's errors. There is a new option (Check Content Type When Adding Files). This option controls whether the script checks the content type when using the 'Add Files' button. If you turn this option off, any file will be added. On execution, the script will load the file, whatever it is. However, the script will still only convert items that are clothing on execution.
Turning this option off is ONLY recommended if you are having trouble getting the script to recognize any clothing files
Note: Turning this option off will slow conversion because of loading a lot of false positives. You also must be very sure of which files you add to the dialog. This option does not affect the 'Add Directory' button.
This is not a permanent solution as you can easily make things crash if you add the wrong file. Hopefully, I can figure out another way in the long term to check files safely. The happy side-effect of this option is that you can convert other sites' clothes.
Attached filename is Clothing Converter G3F to G8F.dse
As far as I can see this is a tutorial, not a product that will automatically smarten up the smart data. It tells you what to do using DS’s existing functions to edit/add smart data.
I have also attached the script at the front of the thread.
BTW, it was nice to see this message today amongst all the error messages
In my (default except for drive) setup, My Daz3d Library is where DIM installs stuff; My Library is where my own custom content like saved scenes and modified content is stored.
Woot got it to work! My mistake seems to be that when I loaded the entire directory, I was not unchecking the full preloaded outfit. Once I unchecked the preloaded outfit file and just had the individual pieces checked it worked. I knew I was doing someting wrong. Turns out the MyDaz3dLibrary name was not an issue after all.
I am glad you got it to work! Note that when you had the outfit checked, that was probably when you saw the Auto-fit dialog. You could click cancel and it should have then gone onto the next item in the list.
Looking at the log file it looks like it aborted when it ran into the full preset for some reason but I had like 4 in a row so it may just have been overload.
One more quick question. should G8 be in t pose ar her normal A pose?
G8 should be in her normal A pose. Just load her and forget
I am confused about one thing (easily done...lol): it says in the manual that the G8 Female should be loaded into the scene and in the standard T Pose. However, Genesis 8 female is in an A Pose so I'm confused as to if you mean Genesis 8 must be loaded or Genesis 3 (who IS in a T Pose) must be loaded. Please advise.

Edit: Oops....answered above while I was typing. LOL
And it's run successfully for me, too. 520 files converted in about an hour. A note, though: the completion pop-up said the script ran in 4 minutes but it certainly did not.
Morphs and bones test out as functional on the material I converted from G3F to G8F. Well worth the price.
MyLibrary is where usually things that you save manually are saved, like scene subsets und stuff like that. It's a separate thing to the main library.
This seems to work, thank you.
When starting the script, the Clothing Item Files list is populated with the files from the previous run. Clear doesn't seem to have an effect, it re-appears when starting the script again.
I will update the manual. It should read "in the standard A Pose"
You need to click Save when you exit the dialog. That will save the state of the list.
Would it then be feasible/recommended to run the converter on all the Smart Content clothing, and afterwards use this script to run on all my Renderosity clothing (which I saved in a different folder)?
The new script works Even converted some boots from rendo well worth the time and cost. Only thing is I get get it to add directory just files only so this process will take forever to convert my entire G3 wardrobe
