DIM, DS4.9 content locations and Poser 11 mapped directories

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I've recently purchased some items from the DAZ3D store, then downloaded and installed them via the latest DIM. They show up fine in DS 4.9. When I map the DIM target directory to Poser 11, the new items don't show up. After some poking around, what seems to be happening is the following:

DIM installs the items in the target directory directly and not in the contained Runtime. Poser, when aimed at the same target directory, i.e., the one containing the Runtime, not the Runtime itself, nevertheless only maps the contents of the Runtime directory. Hence stuff gets left out of the Poser mapping.

Is there a way to fix/prevent this? Thanks.

    Which products?  If they are in Poser format they will get installed into Runtime; if they use the DSON Importer for Poser the PoserCF files will get installed into Runtime.

    Well, the DS target directry has a People directory which contains folders for: Aiko 4, David 3, DAZ's The Freak 4, Freak 4, Genesis, Genesis 2 Female, Genesis 2 Male, Genesis 3 Female, Genesis 3 Male, Hiro 3, LM, Michael 4,Night World, and Victoria 4. The contained Runtime\Libraries\Character\People folder only contains a Genesis folder. That folder has DSON related files oly for Tori V%.

    How did you install V4/M4 and the earlier figures?  The files in DS formats > People for the pre-Genesis figures are just material settings, the actual figures are in Poser format.

    For some of them, it was too long ago to remember, but for the Genesis 3 it was definitely via the latest DIM.

    WHat is the full path to, say, "Victoria4.2.cr2", and can you post your Content Directory Manager in DS with Poser Formats expanded?

    Here is the Content Directory Manager. The two private directories basicall have nothing in them. I haven't found the Victoria 4 file yet.

    Victoria4.2.cr2 is in C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\Runtime\Libraries\Character\DAZ People.

    Sorry, looks like the screenshot didn't attach properly, could you try it again?

    ETA:  Sorry, you said DS sees them fine, so that's not relevant.

    And you have Poser mapped to C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\?

    Yes. Have to break for the night, though.
