I have an old verion and new version of photoshop on my computer. how will i know which one it is installing to then?
:(
Can we fake it with a phony photoshop.exe or Bryce.exe in folders?
You don't need any dummy files in the folders, just go to the Settings > Applications tab, click the plus sign in the lower left, select the application, version, and bit depth from the dropdowns, and give a path. DIM will install items to the relevant application paths, even if the application isn't really there.
A number of people have posted about failed or missing downloads since Saturday afternoon -- DAZ 3D has been notified.
I'm not sure what you're referring to on Product Library pages -- can you post a screenshot?
You probably already looked at this, but just in case, make sure that the appropriate options have been selected in the "Ready to download" tab's "download filters" button.
If you list both versions in the Settings > Applications tab, and the product being installed works in both versions, it will be installed to both versions. If you only list one of them in Applications it will only install to that version.

Haven't you looked at the Product Library lately? The green buttons download directly to DIM, the other files I think you can download anywhere. What I don't understand is the green buttons on the side download files separately, the big button does what? Does it download all, or does it look at the filters and download one or the other or both depending?
ANd does the 'Download and Install' mean before I dare click on any green buttons that I have to have DIM running. AND I have to make sure the proper install to path is selected? This latest change seems to complicate, rather than simplify matters.
Edited to add: there are more "blue" files than I captured in the image below in case it confuses anybody and the forum is a bit wonky for me right now.

Here is the gist of it..
Blue buttons download the file through the browser. A handful of products have that option only, such as software and content that hasn't been converted (however, that is changing soon.. Daz Studio and Daz Studio public beta installing through Install Manager should be dropping this week as an option so it is fast and easy to update software as well). It is so you can manually download and manage your files how you want.
The green buttons is a button that will launch DIM with it filtered by and selected for the account you're account so you can do a one click (the process queue one) to do your normal process of downloading the file, and if the check box to install right away is checked, install. It doesn't process the queue right away which gives you a chance to specify which directory you want it to go to. There may be an option in a future release of Install Manager that will let you decide if you want it to automatically process the queue or not so it really is just one click in the product library to install content.
The big green button is like the little green button, only it will do all the files that match your application filters that are available for that product. So if it has a a normal file and a studio companion file, both of those will be selected and ready to be processed. Also, that button works with bundles. So you want to install every item in a bundle? Click the green item and Install Manager will be ready to process all those files if there are any that it doesn't see is downloaded and installed on your system.
Basically, the green buttons are if you use Install Manager and just want fewer clicks and a more tightly integrated and faster process for getting and installing your content.
Ah, I understand. Okay, the label "Download and Install" is kind of misleading -- what it does is launch DIM (if it isn't already running) and put the SKU number of the product in the filter field, so you can see whether it's ready to download, ready to install, or already installed. It doesn't start the download and/or install process until you click the button to do so. And your Download Filters will determine which files you see in the "Ready to Download" tab -- if you click the green button next to the DS version, but your download filters are set to only show Poser files, it won't show the DS version. I guess they put the green button next to each version so you'll know which versions work in DIM, but I'm pretty sure that whichever green button you use, the filter field just filters for the SKU, so it'll show any or all versions that you've downloaded/installed or that fit your download filters.
Yeah, we were having trouble coming up with labels for them which made sense and were fairly short and concise... a label of "Download and filter / auto-select files so you can process them with Install Manager" was a bit long :). If there are better suggestions that fit in that relatively small space and is somewhat clear what the end result / intention is of clicking that item for both veterans and new comers, throw them out there.
Thanks. The information is great!
May I suggest: Do It With DIM
;>
"Select this file and start DIM"
"Select all these files and start DIM"
Send to DIM
and
Send all to DIM
perhaps?
Now that the exe's are phasing out, I'm also ready to install DIM.
A quick question :
Will DIM automaticaly look at all the files on my Product Page and upgrade them when nessecary or do I have to re-install everything with the green buttons?
Is this no problem with files that were already installed with an exe and that I already categorised manualy in the Content Manager?
Thanks,
Peter.
Looks good Kerya! *smile*
And maybe it's possible to put an explanation on the page the product library is on?
From DIM, you can just hit refresh and it will show you if anything you've installed with DIM or have in the DIM downloads folder has been updated. It won't know about things you've installed with .exe's (or extracted from non-DIM zips, or installed manually with DIM zips). DIM won't remove any manual categorization you've done, just the metadata that comes with the product (unless of course those files are no longer in the product).

Just installed DIM and set the installation path to an empty directory (instead of my default). I can see my new content in DS4.6, but I now have my content twice (in my default + in the new directory), so I still have a lot of housekeeping to do! :)
Thanks,
Peter.
You can add your Studio runtime to Carrara. I don't know about Bryce yet, though.
Gus
don't install DAZ 32 or 64 bits on mac MBP retina
How can I do?
Is there a faster way than uninstalling each item one by one??? 900 items are taking forever.
Have you set those paths in DIM? Click the gear icon at top-right and go to the Applications tab.
Hi,
I'm sorry but that's don't work
got update notice on install manager and let it do it's thing but when it was done it still reads 1.0.1.59 not 1.0.1.75 can't tell if it updated. I am now downloading the update manually and will see if that works.
Hi,
I'm agree to install manually
That's the Installation tab, which is just a list of paths. You need to tell DIM where the applications (Photoshop, ZBrush etc.) are in the Applications tab, next to it, by clicking the + button and theen selecting the application's install folder.
downloaded the update and installed it now I got the version up to date, so if U tried to update DIM and that didn't work just download it a install it, it will pick up all the setting U have on where your assets are at least on PC (my assets are on another HD threw USB)
Hi,
as you can see, the path is good for PS and I always have the message
You can add your Studio runtime to Carrara. I don't know about Bryce yet, though.
Gus
Yes, but we're not talking about DS/Poser-format content, which Carrara can see in an external runtime, but Carrara-format content, which (as I understand it) needs to be in specific subfolders of the application folder.
You're still setting a content installation path. When installing plugins DIM does NOT use that path, it uses the path to the Application on the Application tab.
You need to click the Application tab (1.), then the + button (2.), then in the dialogue (3.) pick the actual application, version, bit depth and path.
Hi Richard,
thanks it's install except the 32 bits, I have my soft in 64 bits
