Easy way to find non-DIM products in account product library?

So I noticed some of the plugins and older items still do not get queued when I refresh the DIM (GenerationX for instance). Any ideas how to easily find out which products in the product library are not supported by the DIM?

I don't know of an "easy" way, depending on how many products you're interested in checking, but the only way I know is to look at each separately in your Product Library, because there won't be a link to download under the column title "Install Manager Ready* ?"
It would be nice to be able to some how search for just those products that aren't DIM ready so you can see them all at once, but I don't think there's any magic formula to use in the Filter box to enable it.
Well, there should be because the website has a way of knowing if they are DIM ready or not, so it can't be that hard to add a filter like that. The problem is that I have no way of knowing which products to look at and which ones to ignore, so I gotta go through all of them by hand.
I can't speak for XiMiX, but I currently have 1925 entries in my Product Library. That's a lot to go through one-by-one...
It would be useful to be able to find those items that aren't available through DIM. Here's my list of items I own that aren't in DIM:

Carrara versions before C8.5

Bad news is lots of those do not work in DS4+ anyway. Like LDP2 so it's no use to install in DS4+. I Need a list of content that WILL work in DS4+ and is not shown in DIM.
Heck, I'd be happy to be able to export my Product Library information (e.g. to a CSV file) in a format similar to the product manifest that DIM uses so I could do some filtering myself.
Yay! So many replies! (don't mind me just in a good mood today, no real reason why just woke up this way) anyways I have brought it to support's attention in the past but never got so much as a reply, probably because this was when the DIM had already come out and they were working on the rebuild of the account area or something like that. I just brought it to their attention again see below...
Ugh... I cant stand my forum name... it was my go to name for random stuff when I was in high school... I gotta change that. But, yeah I am upwards 1160 items right now and those are the ones who show up in the DIM, so I would be wasting my time on each and every one of those items.
There is a tool here:

Thanks for the tool, it was very helpful and I found out there was only like four or five items that the DIM missed that I still want/ use! and to think that I was prepared to go through my ~2000 item Product Library one by one. Thanks again!
In the not too distant future (i.e. when the next roll of store code occurs), you will be able to use the "dim::false" (or "dim::off" or "dim::0") filter, in the Product Library, to display a list of products that do not provide at least one package that is available through Install Manager. Conversely, you'll also be able to use the "dim::true" (or "dim::on" or "dim::1") filter to display a list of products that do provide at least one package through Install Manager.
Along with it should be a fix for using the "sku::#" filter to find a product by its SKU.

BTW, the "not too distant future" I mentioned... is now. ;)

It works! It works! It works! :)
Now, do we get a direct link to the Readme page via the product page in our Product Library and from the Store page of an item to the Readme page?
(It never hurts to ask ...)
Nice! Thanks!
Excellent, Thanks for the tip!
Is this an update as I don't have an update showing? How do you use this feature?
Thanks Rob!! I knew if anyone could figure this out, you'd be the one. :coolsmirk:
Simply type (or copy/paste) "dim::false" or "dim::true" (without the quotes) into the filter field, in Product Library, and click the "Filter" button.
-Rob
thank you, altho I typed in dim::false and it showed items which can be downloaded through dim, why is that?
I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm a "credit where due" kind of guy... The credit for this one belongs to Benjam and Jon. My part here was to notice the request, agree with its usefulness as a feature that many could benefit from (including staff) and then make the case to my colleagues in Web - without any extra emotional attachment. Given the work done in Install Manager with advanced filtering, and given that some of that work was used to model similar functionality in Product Library early on, and given that the scope of this addition was fairly minimal - particularly when compared to the gain it provides - it was an easy sell. I've been telling folks this for years... but a lot of it is in the approach. ;)

You also remembered to click the "Filter" button? Product Library doesn't automatically filter like Install Manager does. You must click the button (or press Enter on your keyboard) to invoke the filter.
If yes, which products? Is there any filtering happening at all? Does the "sku::#" filter work for you?
I suppose there is also a possibility of something browser, or browser plugin related going on. Which browser are you using? Which version? Which OS? Do you have anything enabled that would prevent JavaScript from running? Do you use a software firewall? Does that firewall integrate itself into your browser?

Not a real issue for me but just for testing purposes; I noticed it with Luxus Pro Training though that may be because parts of it is installable content and the rest of it are video tutorials. As well as with Daz Studio 3 Advanced... not really sure why that is but it doesn't concern me either.
Could it be because of the lack of Mac support the DIM has? or is that something that has since been rectified? I wouldn't know I am a PC myself.
Would it be possible to add a drop down box w/ filter selections to the filter button? Since not everybody is going to read this thread specifically to know this exists.
