I do NOT have any of the Poser versions checked in the download filters, nor do I have any DAZ Studio other than 4.5+ checked.
Why are these showing up?

If you check your download filters now, are they still correct? Have any other settings been lost?
Restarted DIM, checked download filters. They're still correct. Paths, Installed Programs, etc. are all still correct.
Aha. The new 'Connect Available' and 'Connect Installed' were auto-selected when the update occured. Unchecked them, and the offending items vanished.
However, that doesn't seem right. Shouldn't the 'Connect' options still respect the other selections?
(And, as a note, I'm still on 4.8 until they get the bugs/kinks worked on with 4.9....wondering why it even bothers showing those as options.....)
It will show items if any of the tags match, for example, if you only have DS4.5, it will show items even if they work in older versions of DS also, or if the item is only available in Poser format it will show it.
So, if you have "Connect Available" checked in DIM, even if you don't have ANY of the Poser items checked, it will STILL show Poser Only downloads?
Sorry, that sounds like a bug to me.
No, because even if you don't have Poser checked, if a product is only available in Poser format it should show it. If that file is appropriate for any of the filters you have selected, it should be displayed.
I think you may not be understanding. What's showing are Poser files for DS products.....Like the PoserCF files and the Legacy packages. If the "Connect Available" overrides the rest of the download filters, what are their point?
If I have "Carrera 8.5" unchecked, and tomorrow they put "Connect" into Carrera, should DIM show Carrera files in the list? This seems counterintuitive. I understand HOW it has been implemented, but I disagree that this is how it SHOULD function. "Connect" is not a platform/package type. It's a delivery mechanism. As such, those filters should NOT override the package/platform filters.
After reading this, I can't help wondering if it's connected (sorry...) to the similar problems reported recently by people who update to the latest D|S and DIM versions. Is this working as intended? Doesn't sound like it to me.
No, that is how it is supposed to work -- if any tags match, the item is displayed. However, the tags don't look right -- only the DS4.5 version should have the Connect tags.
