New Update v1.9.5 is out
Unfortunately, I have been very ill over the last few weeks and have therefore not been able to work much on my tool.
This update only provides stability improvements and fixes the known bugs of DazArtifizer.
v1.9.5
### Added
- Console Window integrated into the GUI for better user interaction and logging.
- Template copy feedback to confirm when a template has been successfully copied.### Changed
- Increased renderosity scraping timestep from 3 to 5 seconds to mitigate issues with 'Description not found' errors.### Fixed
- Resolved an issue in FileExplorer where files would not display after using the 'Clear Data' function.
- Enhanced sanitation for Product Name inputs to eliminate forbidden characters (e.g., '/', '\', '?') that could lead to errors during DIM generation.
- Corrected the clean function in DIMBuild that previously caused that some files couldn't be deleted
- Addressed the mega upload problem present in the executable version.
Hi @mathmathou
For DazArtificer itself I am using the classic PyQt5 for the GUI Interface. As for the DIMCreator, I used a custom Qt5 from fluentwdigets.
Best regards,
Lewd18RatioHI @mrbishop
Thank you for sharing the Issue, I managed to replicate the error and will fix it in the next updates.
Also, your posted link works fine
Best regards,
Lewd18RatioThanks for your reply.
Looks like the module mega is not installed. Weird, normally you won't need to install python or any modules in the executable, because the pyinstaller compiles them with.
Please try to install the requirements via pip.
Via CMD please enter the Assets folder where the requirements.txt is located.
Then enter this command:pip install -r requirements.txtIn the meantime I will also try to replicate the problem with a clean machine that has no python.
Hi @mrbishop
Thank you for reaching out and sharing the issue you're experiencing with my tool. It seems like there might be a problem with the integration or a missing component that the tool is trying to access.
Could you please provide me with a few more details:
1. Which version of the software are you currently using? The latest available version is v1.9.

3. Are you using the executable (.exe) version or the Python script (.py) version?
4. What is the file named, that you try to upload?
