There was a tool on F95... Called
Daz Content ManagerIt was awesome. It worked in conjunction with Jdownloader, and would scrape the vendor sites, along with the main pirate sites, and make a list of all the new stuff available. A couple of clicks got whatever you wanted in your Daz Library.
THe Zone here wasn't involved, but since this is the main feeder site to 95% of all others....
Anyway, the developer lost interest and it kind of died... if your program could add that functionality, it would be worth its weight in gold.
I believe it is written in Java or something... but the developer posted the code in case anyone else wanted to take over (scroll down on page two for the files)
Thanks for your feedback.
It's a really interesting tool.
But right now I focuse on developing the tool for content uploaders.
I will still add it to my ToDo because, like you said it's a really helpful functionality, especially the content management.
I updated my tool to v1.3 and added some new features.
The new update can be found in the same Main Folder.V1.3

Over a period of several weeks, tried to post requests, never made it.
On one Sunday alone, spent over ninety minutes just on images.
Within 15 minutes of using this, posted my first request.
At that time I thanked the author and also mentioned to
Warrant 13 that aspects might be worth looking into.
Once again my thanks to the author.....continued success!!!!Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience.
I'm deeply grateful for your endorsement! It's wonderful to know that the tool has been helpful and made posting requests easier for you. Your encouragement motivates me to keep enhancing the tool. Thank you for your trust and support!Changelog Announcement: DazArtificer v1.7 - Big Update
Introducing
DIM Creatorto DazArtificer!I'm excited to announce a significant update to DazArtificer, version 1.7, which marks the inclusion of the DIM Creator, a tool I had initially planned to release separately. However, considering that DazArtificer itself is costing 500 points, I decided it only fair that you all get the full suite of features without extra charges. So, here's what's new:
- DIM Creator: A new tool for creating custom DIM files, facilitating easy installation and uninstallation of models with the DAZ Install Manager.
- Launch DIM Creator Button: Seamlessly transition from DazArtificer to DIMCreator, enhancing workflow and integration.
- DIM Creator Module: DIMCreator is now integrated as a module within DazArtificer, allowing for direct packaging and management of digital content.
- DazArtificer Folder in Documents: A dedicated folder for all DazArtificer files and configurations, ensuring organized and easy access.
- Configuration Management: Customizable settings and preferences stored in a new Documents folder for a more personalized experience.
This update not only enhances DazArtificer's capabilities but also underscores my commitment to providing comprehensive tools that cater to the needs of the 3D modeling and rendering community. Enjoy the new features!
..a DIM builder?
You had my interest - now you have my attention.
One of the most frustrating things I've found is to take a perfect scene and scrape out all the files I need to re-create it (that aren't default Genesis mesh stuff) and make an archive of just those files. If this can make a DIM and an archive of files (that is, a bunch of files in a separate directory so I can make a .zip of just those files), I'll be on it in a heartbeat.
This new 1.7 update with DIM creator is simply amazing! It works like a charm. Thank you so much <3
Hi @wealldeserve2dice thanks for the question, I don't know how the system of the posts works, but my intention is only 1 time 500 Points. The Download link always stays the same and doesn't change. You can select also older versions.
So keeping it short, 1 time pay, getting also future version
