Is Download manager gone? because installing my entire catalog using DAZCentral of things I purchased over the years was a long and tedious process now. also, There was a lot of stuff missing. like when I tried opening an old project frome last year that I had saved on my cloud, I had to let it install two programs that SHOULD have been in my library on DAZCentral, but clearly werent...
I would rather use Download manager if thats still possible. I really just need the install tool, not the whole Daz store on my computer...

DIM is still there. I used it just this morning to download purchases.
Cool. where can I find it, please?... for Windows.
:EDIT:
Found it. I had to do some digging. They are really pushing for windows users to use DAZCentral... I would if it focussed more one being useful, and less on being a store.. lol
Here.

I bought something, then clicked to open the DIM, and I was taken to the download site for DAZ Central. I am on a Macintosh, and the Macintosh version is not yet available. I closed that web page and started up DIM on my computer. Perhaps its a blessing that a Macintosh version of DAZ Central is not available. Supposedly, there will be one later.
No, what they (stupidly) have done is taken the DIM install option out of the post checkout page and snuck in Daz Central where it would have been using the same buttong that DIM has /facepalm.
You'll have to manually go to your order and then use the DIM option from there, or just go to DIM and check there.
Yay, Daz Connect part deux /smh
aaarrgh!
I just started over with a clean install of DS and it took some looking to re-acquire the DIM installer in order to use it to set up my paths before using it to re-install DS and Content.
I've always just closed my browser after making a purchase and opened DIM myself... Guess I'm glad I never got used to the convenience of that link, but for those that did, I hear ya. It's a little sneaky for sure.
I downloaded and ran Central to see what it did. Apparently it uninstalled every single thing I had already installed and been using.

Studio and DIM are separate apps. There should be no reason to reinstall DIM becauase of a Studio reinstall.
Many of the issues that folks have with Studio and DIM could be solved if the same folks made sure that the content Manager paths in Studio and the Install patchs in DIM were the same.
I know my paths are right and have not touched either app since each was last updated by Daz. DIM flat is not working. I have orders that will not download.
I am not installing Central till it is close to functional which it clearly isn't.
Do they not appear in DIM, or do they fail to download?
They do not appear in DIM at all. They do appear in my orders. It doesn't matter whether I manually open DIM or use the DL link on my orders page. I'm just glad its a bunch of freebies and not stuff I need for my VN.
Please open a support ticket - it may be issues with the specific products or with your account; as far as I can see my orders are showing in DIM and Connect, including one I just placed.
Already did.
