Change Log

Below is a “sanitized” version of the Install Manager change log. This information is posted as part of a conscious effort to be more transparent in the development process. Not all information relating to a particular build is presented on this page - some information is still considered private and is therefore not included.

General Release Channel

This is the channel where the “production ready” build is distributed to the general public.

Private Build Channel

This is the channel where the builds that are not considered “production ready” yet are provided for testing by a select group of individuals that represent the user-base and serve as the “front line” or the “canary in a coal mine” for a time before the build is promoted. This channel typically provides a build that is in the BETA phase of development, but technically can provide a build in the ALPHA phase.

Current Branch

This branch of the application is aimed at addressing shorter term issues/goals.

Pending

Future Branch

This branch of the application is aimed at addressing longer term issues/goals.

Install Manager : Incremented build number to 1.0.1.77

Relabeled various “Download” and “Installer” references to use “Package” instead; some users were interpreting “Download Date” as the date/time the package was downloaded rather than the date/time the package was created; referring to a package as an “Installer” wasn't entirely accurate, and is simplified by the consistent use of “Package” whether downloaded or not
Replaced the “— Applications —” text in the Installation Details widget with a “Show Applications List…” button that launches the Settings dialog with the Applications page raised
Made other minor labeling tweaks to improve readability/consistency
Updated Default Filter references to “Poser 9” with “Poser 9+”, and “Installer” with “Package”, for consistency with other labeling tweaks

Whether or not the CloudInstalled tag is assigned to a package is now dependent on whether the row in the product table for a given SKU in the PostgreSQL database is installed, is cloud_owned, and has the DAZStudio4_5 tag

1.1.0.100 Change Log

Below is a “sanitized” version of the Install Manager change log leading to the General Release of version 1.1.0.100. This log is posted as part of a conscious effort to be more transparent in the development process. That being said, not all information relating to a particular build is present on this page - some information is still considered private and is therefore not included.

Private Beta

Fixed folder/menu names for SKU ranges in filters

Install Manager : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.75

Initial support for 64-bit version SKUs; starting with this build, a 32-bit version running on a 64-bit OS should download the 64-bit version SKU during an update

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.85

Fixed OS X support of the 32-bit version running on a 64-bit OS and automatically switching to the 64-bit version during an update
Fixed OS X support of uninstalling the 32-bit version during install of the 64-bit version
OS X 10.6 is (one of) the last versions to support a 32-bit (x86) kernel; detection of bitness has proven unreliable thus far, therefore the 32-bit version is assumed for OS X 10.6 during an update initiated from a 32-bit version; this behavior can be overridden by pressing/holding the [Shift] modifier when the check for an update begins (e.g., initial login, refresh) in order to force a switch to the 64-bit version

Build system tweaks; Mac
Fixed an issue with Mac 64-bit rPath; vcomponents

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.90

Running the primary application with elevated permissions on Windows is now prevented by default
- Running with elevated permissions can cause conflicts with accessing folder/files/registry keys
- The application itself does not (and should not) require elevated permissions to run
- A helper application requests elevation as required and is limited to necessary operations

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.91

When checking for application updates to the 32-bit version on a 64-bit Mac OS, the automatic switch from 32-bit to 64-bit has been removed for 10.7 (Lion) as it is possible to be running the 32-bit kernel; forcing a switch to the 64-bit version on OS X 10.6/10.7 can be accomplished by pressing/holding the [Shift] modifier when the check for an update begins (e.g., initial login, refresh)
Added 64 to the available bit architectures for Hexagon 2.5, on Windows
Added 2018 to the available versions for Lightwave
Added 2018 to the available versions for ZBrush

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.1.0.97

1.2.0.27 Change Log

Below is a “sanitized” version of the Install Manager change log leading to the General Release of version 1.2.0.27.

That being said, not all information relating to a particular build is present on this page - some information is still considered private and is therefore not included.

Private Beta

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

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.7

Fixed an unintended change to the labeling of 64-bit/32-bit Software paths in the Details panel on 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
Added a simplified/subset version of the Settings dialog for display to first-time users
First-time users are now prompted for whether or not they would like to view/change download/installation paths prior to starting the automated download/install queue
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

Fixed styling of the simplified/subset version of the Settings dialog on macOS

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

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.21

When loading the settings for a given account, if the path of the Package Archive and the path of the Manifest Archive are set to the same value, a message informing the user of the detected conflict is now displayed
The Downloads > Package Archive setting and the Installation > Manifest Archive setting in the Settings dialog are now prevented from being set to the same path using their respective browse buttons; the user is alerted to the conflict and the value is not changed

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.22

Fixed an issue with CSV Export dialog options; usage of the checked state for the “Include Package Signature (GUID)” and “Include Package Size” options where swapped

Filter bit architecture when performing an application command

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.56

Source maintenance
An “application” command now considers the status of the package_id (if specified), switches to the page that the package is currently on, and causes the “Start Queue/Add to Queue” button on the respective page to update to reflect selection state of the items in the listview
Double-clicking an item in the Accounts list of the Settings dialog now behaves the same as if the “Edit…” action was clicked from the context menu
Double-clicking a Content Path Shortcut item on the Installation page of the Settings dialog now behaves the same as if the “Edit…” action was clicked from the context menu
Double-clicking an item in the Applications list of the Settings dialog now behaves the same as if the “Edit…” action was clicked from the context menu

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.57

The default sort order is now Status: Busy First

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.58

Source maintenance
Completely revamped the UI/UX for dealing with missing/required application/version/bit paths of failed installs; applications paths can now be defined by the user directly within the Install Errors dialog; the package associated with any application paths defined within the Install Errors dialog are automatically selected in the Ready to Install list, cleared of their previous failure, and wait only on the “Start Queue/Add to Queue” button to be clicked
Handling of application path collisions resulting from “application” commands is now handled via custom event in the current application instance instead of application instantiation and argument forwarding
Added support for multiple context store IDs to be set for a given install application widget; preparation for install sets
The order of “Sort Order” options in the Ready to Download/Ready to Install/Installed pages, the settings/keys used to record the selected “Sort Order” options, and the values that represent a given “Sort Order” option in recorded settings, have changed; “Status : Busy First” has been moved to the top of each “Sort Order” option list; “Status : Busy First” is the default for each “Sort Order” option list; “Sort Order” options are now recorded as their respective enumerated values instead of their position within the list - this resolves an issue where a “Sort Order” option was not restored to its previous value if its position in the list changed; restoration of a “Sort Order” option within a list is now based on enumerated value instead of string comparison - this resolves an issue where a “Sort Order” option was not restored to its previous value if the string/translation value changed
The Install Errors dialog now provides an “Attempt Re-install” option that is revealed/displayed when an application path for a failed install is defined within the dialog; when checked (default), packages associated with application paths that are defined within the dialog are automatically added to the install queue (and the queue is started if needed) when the dialog is closed

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.2.0.59

Source maintenance
Changed label of “Attempt Re-Install” option in the Install Errors dialog to “Re-attempt Install” in order to better reflect what the option does; “Re-Install” of a package already has a defined meaning
Updated inline help for various widgets to reflect current operation/functionality
Fixed an issue that caused the down-arrow for the Version and Bit (Architecture) options in Application Path widgets to not be drawn
Fixed styling inconsistencies in the error list dialog
Fixed a size initialization issue in the error list dialog

Implemented “Install Modules”; upon retrieval of product information from the store (i.e., login/refresh), if none of the install sets in the default module are satisfied (downloaded and installed) the user is prompted to select (and perhaps pre-define application install paths) the install set(s) to download/install based on account contents; the Install Module dialog provides an option that allows the user to control whether or not the default module is presented when none of the install sets are satisfied; the user can access install modules (the “Default” module when connected, and/or individually installed modules) from the Settings menu; the Install Module dialog displays an accordion style view of a given module, with various statuses that bubble up from individually validated install sets, components, and package options; option selection is automatic based on appropriateness for the running operating system and bit architecture
Incremented version to 1.4.0.0

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.1

Source maintenance
Unlocked the ability to load locally installed Install Modules; allows loading an Install Module from file vs only loading the Default module from network reply
The “Start Queue” button is now enabled when all Default Install Sets are unchecked to allow saving the checked state of the “Show Automatically” option in the Default Install Sets dialog

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.2

Fixed an issue where an account's preference for whether or not to automatically show the default install module was not being recorded
Fixed an issue where the preference for whether or not an account automatically showed the default install module was not being respected

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.3

The first Install Set with the most urgent status is now raised when a given Install Module is displayed

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.4

Components of a given Install Set that are not required in order to satisfy the set are now individually checkable within the Install Module dialog; required components of a given Install Set are not checkable; this allows a component to be included by a set, but provides the user a remedy for a component they cannot reasonably satisfy - e.g., the Photoshop 3D Bridge plugin can be included in the Daz Studio Install Set within the Default Install Module, but the user may not have Photoshop and so can now uncheck that component to satisfy moving forward with the remaining components; the respective checked states of non-required components are factored into the actionable state of a given set (and therefore, the enabled state of the accept button for the dialog)
Tweaked styling of the Install Module dialog when none of the Install Sets in a given module can be satisfied by the account's current product list; logging in is suggested if the account is currently working offline

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.5

Fixed an issue where a user would (potentially) be prompted with the Default Install Module after the dialog for any other Install Module was accepted
Fixed an issue where the wrong install option was being automatically selected for a given component
Added support for defining whether or not a non-required install component is automatically selected
Updated install component text
Invalid install components, and non-required install components that are not in a user's account, are no longer displayed in non-development builds
Mac style tweaks

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.6

Fixed an issue where any unknown (to the account) install component (be it due to bad data, or a SKU not being in the account) within a given install set was causing that entire set to be marked as invalid regardless of whether or not that component was required, rather than omitting display (in non-dev builds) of non-required unknown components and only invalidating the set if required known components could not be found
Made changes to the notification presented when none of the components in an install module can be found
An install module's message is now included in the notification presented when the minimum list of required install components cannot be resolved
Made adjustments to sizing of install module dialogs

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.7

Source maintenance
Added a “Filter Views” option to the Install Module dialog; when enabled/checked, the filter field in the main window will be populated with a sku:: filter of the participating products; option is checked by default; option is disabled when it will have no affect
Added a tooltip to the “Show Automatically” option in the Install Module dialog
Attempting to display an Install Module while the application is busy now alerts the user that this cannot be done

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.10

Source maintenance

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.11

Source maintenance
Fixed an issue where components in an install set that require an application path which is not already defined in the global list, but will be defined by a (required/preceding) component within the install set, would erroneously prompt the user to manually define the requisite application path instead of automatically detecting that a component within the set will provide it; e.g., Daz Studio plugin components in the default install set require the application path of Daz Studio, but a virgin installation has no global list and can only depend on the (required/preceding) component
Fixed an issue where an install component with multiple application path requirements would correctly provide multiple widget sets for defining those paths, but incorrectly populate their options with data for all requirements instead of each individually
Fixed an issue where the user defining one application path for a component with multiple requirements would erroneously set the status of the component as satisfied even though another application path had not yet been defined by the user
Application path widgets now support holding the Ctrl/Cmd modifier when clicking the browse (…) button to opening the OS file browser to the specified path (if any), and holding the Alt modifier when clicking the browse button to clear the current value (if any)
Improved performance of building the install Module dialog

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.12

Fixed an issue in the Install Errors dialog where the user was allowed to define an application path as a value that is already in the global list; application paths must be unique
Fixed an issue in the Install Errors dialog where the user was allowed to define multiple application paths as the same value; application paths must be unique
In the Install Errors dialog, defining the application path for one of multiple packages with the same error now updates the path for all corresponding errors

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.13

Source maintenance
Fixed component SKU in Default Install Sets

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.14

Source maintenance
Added Advanced Filtering support for the “pkg::” scope selector; allows filtering based on the combined product id and package id fields; supports wildcard and regular expression syntax selectors
When the Filter Views option on the Install Module dialog is checked and the dialog is accepted, the resulting filter now uses the “pkg::” filtering syntax

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.15

InstallMgr : Incremented build number to 1.4.0.16

Source maintenance
Fixed an issue where canceling the individual download or individual install of a package that was initiated by remote action (e.g., install set, first-time user) would result in a crash
Fixed an issue where clicking the Clear Queue button for downloads or installs initiated by remote action (e.g., install set, first-time user) would cause the application to hang (infinite loop) - clicking the Clear Queue button clears the packages in queue, but it does not cancel any processes that have already been started

Documentation

User Guide - This section of the documentation provides tutorials, videos and tips on how to accomplish certain tasks.

Reference Guide - This section of the documentation focuses on breaking the application down into its smaller parts. Things like what something is called, where you can find it and what each option does or means. It serves as the foundation for which the tutorials, videos and tips in the User Guide section can be built on top of and refer back to for more specific information.

Overview

Install Manager is designed to make downloading and installing content purchased from the DAZ 3D store, simple and easy.

Install Manager provides the ability to work in either an online or offline mode. While working_online, Install Manager presents you with a list of available downloads and/or updates for your account. It allows you to selectively download all of the items in the list, specific items in the list or each item individually. You also have the option of automatically installing items in the list after it has finished downloading.

Whether you are working online, or working_offline, Install Manager allows you to manage whether the products it has downloaded are installed, or not. And it does this in the same manner as the downloads list - all items in the list, specific items in the list or each one individually. And, you have the option to automatically delete the installer once a product has been installed in order to help you manage available disk space.

Depending on your specific situation, you may have several accounts that you use to purchase products from DAZ 3D. If you do, Install Manager helps you manage the products from those separate accounts by allowing you to save separate settings for each one.

Since you may also use the products you get from DAZ 3D in applications other than Daz Studio (i.e. Carrara or Poser), Install Manager allows you to set up multiple installation paths and then bookmark them for convenience. And while it can be used successfully with other applications, it has an additional benefit when used with DAZ Studio v4.x and/or Carrara 8.5 Beta, in that it communicates with the Content Management Service (CMS) to install any metadata that the product provides. When used with DAZ Studio 4.x, it also creates a Product container¹⁾ in the Content Library Pane where you can find all of the user-facing files installed with a product - regardless of whether the product provides metadata of its own.

¹⁾

This container is not a folder on your hard drive, but an entry in your Content Database, for the purpose of helping you find all of a product's files in one place. The files can also be found in the folders where they actually live on your hard drive.
