Where to find my new stuff ??!

Hera

I brought a few new items today, and after intalling them I cannot find several of them, and since there are no readme's I have to walk like a blind woman trough the confusing library structure of DAZ.

The Hamman was I able to find at Environment\Architecture but I have yet to find things like "Open Road Poses for Yamaki Rapture" and "Mystic Giselle 6".

Makes me want to point out again the essential of having the readme's back in the download, instead of now, located on-line, where they are often abscent. For instane Giselle didn't get a readme!

Do you download and install via the DIM? If you do, when it is installed, right click on the product name and click on "show installed files". It shows exactly where the paths are everything got installed to.

If you download and install manually.....hmm yeah annoying if the readme's aren't there. And I find that a lot of the time, the online readme's are either absent or incorrect links to them, or have that "placeholder" text in them.

If you have problems finding stuff, whether via DIM or ZIP, one solution is to install again, but to an empty directory, that will create only the directories for the installed files, allowing you to see where to look in your proper runtime.

i think manifest file has the file paths in it,
or you could open the zip to see the directory structure?

Unless the product is really old, it is required to have a readme. Most of the readme's are hosted online in our docs center. You can find them here: http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/read_me/index/start Just navigate to the SKU of the item you need the readme for. Right clicking on the product in DIM and choosing show installed files like Jakiblue said will also work. You can also click the little info icon in DIM to bring up the readme. The info icon looks like the letter "i" with a circle around it.

On another note, if the content you installed has metadata it will appear blue in the content library tab until you click on it (if you use CMS). That is one helpful way to find new content.

However, I find the the readme's to be the most reliable way to find my content. If you can't find the readme for the products you purchased let me know and I'll see what I can do to help you track it down.
