Installation of packages that install like a plugin are now delayed if packages that install like software are in the download queue; this change addresses an issue where packages that install like a plugin would fail to install (or appear as though they had failed) because a package for software that it is a plugin to had not been installed first; this stems from a deeper issue where because plugin packages are typically much smaller in size than software packages, despite both being in the queue and the software package starting before plugin packages, the plugin packages downloaded much faster and were therefore installed before the software package downloads could complete
Added “Delete Partial Package(s)” menu and options to the context menu for incomplete package downloads on the Ready to Download page; deletes partial download files from the package archive
The checked state of the “Display Hidden” option on the Ready to Download page is now persistent between sessions
Added a “Display Hidden” option to the Ready to Install page; this option functions in the same fashion as the similarly named option on the Ready to Download page, except it applies to packages that have been downloaded; checked state is persistent between sessions; a package's hidden state is universal, hiding a package on the Ready to Download page does not change if the package is then downloaded and likewise hiding a package on the Ready to Install page does not change if the package is then deleted
Added “Hide Package(s)” and “Unhide Package(s)” menus and options to the context menu for packages on the Ready to Install page
Fixed minor inconsistencies between entries in context menus for the Ready to Download and Ready to Install pages

Fixed an issue where canceling the Settings dialog after having changed whether or not “General Tool Tips” and/or “Product Info Tips” are displayed did not restore the previous state

Clicking the Help button in a window now opens a
URL that is more specific to the window containing the button that was clicked
InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.8
InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.9
Download of packages that provide
CMS functionality are now prioritized over all others; except application updates
Installation of packages that do not provide
CMS functionality are now delayed until after packages in the download or install queues that do; if the
CMS is to be installed, it should be installed prior to any other package that may cause addition/manipulation of data in the database
InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.10
Auto-Download/Install based on remote action (i.e., first-time users) now uses the standard queuing mechanisms instead of directly manipulating the products
Fixed an issue where a failed download/install during auto-download/install would cause the application to enter into an infinite loop that the user could not exit without force quiting
InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.11
Auto-Download/Install based on remote action (i.e., first-time users) now causes an automatic switch to the page representing the stage of the process that the package with the lowest status is on prior to starting the respective queue
Fixed an issue that caused the download queue to hang as the first set of connections completed
InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.12
Source maintenance
Fixed an issue where changing the “Manifest Archive” path in the Settings dialog would not automatically cause user data to be refreshed upon accepting the Settings dialog

Added a setting for defining the “Content Database Port” to the Settings > Installation page
Converted the “Allow Shortcuts” settings on the Settings > Installation page to use drop-down menu instead of check boxes
Converted the “Content Updates” settings on the Settings > Installation page to use drop-down menus instead of radio buttons
Moved the “Current” content path setting on the Settings > Installation page from below the shortcut list, to above it
All non-list-based settings for paths/values in the Settings dialog now provide a “Restore Default” action in their respective context menus
Refactored the simplified/subset version of the Settings dialog; users are provided the ability to select a “Base Directory” and in so doing cause the paths of the Package Archive, Thumbnail Archive, Manifest Archive, Content Database Base, Content Base Path, 64-bit Software Base and 32-bit Software Base to become sub-paths of the chosen directory; paths that already exist on disk are hyperlinked - clicking a hyperlink causes the path to be opened in the
OS file browser; the simplified/subset version of the Settings dialog is accessible by holding the Ctrl/Cmd modifier while clicking the Settings icon in the main window
Fixed styling issues/inconsistencies in the Settings dialog on macOS
Fixed an issue that caused the
CMS Connection button state to not be updated if an attempt to connect to the
CMS failed
InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.16
Source maintenance
Added the ability to “Restore Current” from the context menu of various settings in the Settings dialog
Changed the “Base Directory” setting on the simplified/subset Settings dialog from a text field and browse button to a combobox with options for Current, Default and Browse…; selecting Current restores the currently assigned paths; selecting Default restores the default paths; selecting Browse prompts for a base path and if permissions of the selected path allow the user to read/write, constructs sub-paths to the selected path
Fixed an issue with the “Base Directory” setting on the simplified Settings dialog that prevented the root of a drive/volume from being selected on macOS
The “Base Directory” setting on the simplified/subset Settings dialog now displays a slash (“/”) in the option list for a selected path that is at the root of a drive on macOS; normalizing the path was causing the path to be seen as 'empty' (rejected/cancelled)
Fixed an issue with the “Base Directory” setting on the simplified/subset Settings dialog that erroneously appended a bit-architecture sub-folder for software on macOS
InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.17
Source maintenance
Added the ability for scripts to adjust file ownership (on macOS) and adjust file permissions; in support of allowing an elevated process (i.e., DAZ3DIMHelper) to execute a script that creates a file (which inherits the elevated permissions) and then fixes file ownership/permissions on that file
Fixed an issue where a valid
CMS connection was being recorded to the log as an error
