Need DIM help

Bendinggrass

I have been configuring DIM so I can download and install content into Poser Pro 2014.

Generally it has been successful, but I am wondering about content that has been installed to DS. I had thought this content would not be indicated as I had selected PP.

Also as I examine the content to be installed to PP it does not list the V4 figure items, such as V4 morphs, or V4 itself. Should the content installed to DS not be excluded if it is going to be installed to PP now..... ?

What do I need to do?

Thanks.

What options do you have checked in Download Filters (button on the ready to Download tab)?

Hi Richard.

I have the options for Poser 9+ and Poser<9, plus DSON importer  for Poser.

Richard Haseltine

That should work. Are you saying you already have the content installed (sorry, I didn't read your post that way initially)? If so just point Poser to the same content directory, no need to install twice.

OK, but won't that be a problem as what I have installed to DS is all DS (non-Poser) content?

I am concerned I might miss something for Poser if I do it that way.

I thought that once I showed DIM a new location to download, everything would be available to download again. Is that not the case?

Another related question........ DIM downloads content to location A, and then it installs to Poser or DS. Once it is installed can I delete the items in location A?

Any uninstalled items should still show up - but a lot of older content is in Poser format (including Victoria 4 etc.) so the files you have isntalled are the Poser files, plus possibly some native presets for materials etc.

Yes, you can delete the zips and .dsx files from the Downloads folder - in fact there's an option to do so autimatically in the ready to Install tab. The Manifests folder is, however, needed or DIM will think nothing is installed.

Thanks, Richard.

I will have a look at this.
