Duplicate products in library, and installed products not showing as installed in Library?

Whiskeyjack

Hi guys, I'm having an odd issue with Daz. I did a fresh reinstall of Daz in preperation for a big reorganization of my content library (It's getting too large and unwieldly). I've redownloaded all of my assests and products, but there's oddness going on with a handful of products.

You can see in the images attached that some products like Genesis 8 Female Body Morphs and Genesis 8 Male Head Moprhs are installed via DIM. But according to Smart Content, and the Products catagory in the Content Tab. they're not installed. Can't seem to find them in the directory they're supposed to be installed to either.

Another issue I've noticed is that I appear to have duplicates of some items in my library; one is installed and working fine, and another is a duplicate which I can only seem to download through Daz Connect. In this case, the Hipster Outfit For Genesis 8 Male, and the Sport Shop - Go For It products.

I've seen a few people suggest this is due to manually editing the metadata. But I've literally just reinstalled everything fresh, and haven't edited any metadata at all. Even right-clicking and slecting "Update Metadata" doesn't fix it, and I see a message in the bottom left saying "Update Metadata Failed; X items succeeded, Y items failed."

It's not a serious issue by any means; I know I can probably just install the missing products through Daz Connect and fix them that way, but it's just an oddity that bugs me.

Thanks in advance!

Did you try uninstaling and reinstaling the morphs? Are all the mising products from the same instalaltion session (you can sort the list by install date to check)?

I'm not sure what to make of the duplication issue, unless it's a mis-match between the metadata from DIM and that from the store as read by DS (but I thought both derived from the same source).

Hi Richard.

Yeah, they're all form the same installation session; I let everything download overnight. I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling via DIM, but that doesn't seem to have worked either. I've just downloaded the body/head moprhs and expression moprhs through Daz Connect within Daz Studio, and they all seem to be working fine now.

The duplication issue I've actually had before, and with the exact same product; I'm not sure if it happened with the Sport Shop, but the Hipster Outfit definitely had the same issue in the past. Again, none of this is a big deal really - it's just something that bugged me a little, as I'm a bit of a neat freak when it comes to organizing things!
