DIM Advanced Settings Question

edited December 22 in Daz Studio Discussion

Okay. I have a whole new DAZ Studio install and my DIM is trying to tell me I have a bazillion products to downlod that I know are already in my DAZ Studio Library.

I know the path is set right as seen in the attached - my D drive. But, I am unsure of the settings above that. Perhaps one of those is the reason the DIM is showing my products that are already in my library?

Sorry if I seem stupid but I am not a DS guru by any means.

    If you have already installed those Products via DIM previously and they are showing as not installed then you've probably set the Manifest folder correctly. Make sure this is set to where they were on the previous install since that is the only way DIM knows what is installed.

    What should I change and to what? I believe I know what but I am unsure of to what.

    Check the screenshot down below ~~

    If you find no menifest files there, search IM*.dsx in your C drive.

    Thanks Crosswind.

    Search on my C drive or the drive where my library is?

  • DarkElfDarkElf Posts: 476

    I think I got it. I basically used the same path except I changed the C drive to the D drive and it seems to have worked.

    In the list of items there are a million Poser files that I want hidden. They were hidden before on my old installation of DS.

    Is the a way I can hide ALL the Poser files in the DIM all at once instead of having to check the boxes one at a time?

  • DarkElfDarkElf Posts: 476

    Okay, I figured out how to select all Poser files at once. How about the Legacy and OBJ files?

  • DarkElfDarkElf Posts: 476

    Okay, to select all the Legacy files at once you have to choose all DAZ Studio 3 files. Figured that one out.

    Now for the OBJ files.

    In DIM ? To be more exactly, you want to hide Products in Poser formats in DIM ? Under which tab ? Ready to Download or Ready to Install ?

    Yes. Sorry. In the DIM Ready to be Downloaded section I am being shown many files I had hidden before - Poser, Legacy, OBJs.

    I figured out how to select the Legacy files and Poser files all at once. Now I am working on the OBJs.

    Nope. Choosing DAZ Studio 3 does not select all the legacy files. Just some of them.

    Oh, if so, try the filter shown in below screenshot.
