I see your problem.
You have a hybrid set of folders on that level.
Some are merchant folders, others are character.
At the level you have shown I would only have the Daz Base characters showing.
My characters will only show up in the individual vendor folders, on the next level down.
You have some duplication in the .tip files there too.
.tip files are usually 256 x 256 pixels It will be the one with the similar name to the smaller png that will display on mousing over.
The identical pngs with a differing name can be deleted for clarity.The smaller .pngs are usually 91 x 91 pixels & will display a thumbnail for the folder in DS if they have an identical name to that folder.
🙂
Disregard, I just noticed eelgio's last post. How do I delete a post? Shane try this. Sorry eelgoo, I'll bug out after this. Go to a folder in explorer, not daz, that has a missing thumbnail. So characters/bimbo or whatever. So your inside bimbos folder. select the main .duf and any.png you like. Just select the .duf, then ctl select the.png. They should both be highlighted. Right click, copy. Go up one level, into /characters and paste the two files. right click bimbo's folder, <rename> right click <copy>, that snags you the name spelled directly. go back to the .duf and .png fines you just copied and rename them from the clipboard (highlight, right click, rename, ctl v). Rescan the folders
I see what u r saying @Spudly. Hensely is a character for G8F base so has no full apply duf as others do.
@eelgoo, so under Characters it should be what next? G8 Base? Because I am not seeing my Genesis * Basic Female either, as I see in your tutorial.dufs are versatile, they can trigger all sorts of functions dependant on how they are configured on saving.
They can be for full characters with textures, morphs, mats or wearables.
They are clever little things. 🙂See here for my folder structures

Yeah. I have that forum post open and reading it already. You see how u have Genesis 8 Basic female in yours? Mine doesn't have that even though i downloaded it

ReturnYeah, you might well have downloaded her, but where did you put her?
:0/
G8F is part of the basic DS installation.I reinstalled everything when i upgraded to a 4tb drive. I reinstalled everything and used DIM to download it from Daz3d. No idea where it went to. At this point I am so confused. Should Im just erased and start over. My file structure is screwed up, and cant find stuff.
How do I tell a base character from a add-on to another character, etc?
TBH I do think you would be best starting afresh.
Much easier to stay organised that way.
That said you have to have the discipline to maintain it or it will degenrate into a shitheap again! 🙂Ok. the thread link u sent me? https://zonegfx.com/forums/topic/manual-install-to-ds
Yeah that one...
Give me a little while & I'll tack my answering post on the end of it.
I'm writing it at the moment.
