Daz Packager
372Daz Packager - free tool to make any Daz content DIM-compatible
Just wanted to share a little tool I put together: Daz Packager.
If you've ever bought Daz Studio content outside the official store and had to manually sort files instead of using Install Manager, this fixes that - drop your .zip (or extracted folder) onto it, and it generates the Manifest.dsx/Supplement.dsx files DIM needs. No manual editing.
Works for buyers (turn any purchase into a DIM package in seconds) and creators (give your customers the smooth DIM experience without changing how you package your releases). Batch mode included for whole folders at once.
Free, open source, single portable .exe.

Happy to answer questions or take feedback if anyone gives it a try!

DazPackager v1.1.0 is out!
A couple of nice improvements based on user feedback:
- You can now pick a custom output folder for the generated packages instead of always getting them next to the source zip. Great if you want to send them straight to your DIM watched folder.
- Fixed the naming prefix on generated packages so it follows Daz3D's official convention properly (was using a reserved prefix before, now fixed).
Thanks to everyone who tried it out and sent feedback so far, really appreciated! Grab the update from the download link above.

Previews update
What's new in v1.0.1:
- Added support for two additional zip structures commonly found in third-party Daz3D products, thanks to a community contribution:
- Content folder nested inside another custom-named folder instead of being at the root (e.g. ProductFolder/Content/…)
- Known Daz folders (People, Runtime, data…) found deep inside a custom-named folder with no Content folder at all (e.g. ProductFolder/My Library/People/…)
- Fixed an edge case where a sibling folder next to Content (such as a Documentation folder with license/readme files, common on Renderosity/RenderHub) would incorrectly cause detection to fail.

Optionally auto-delete the source after a successful package, and save a full run log to a text file.

DazPackager v1.3.0 is out!
Fixed a detection bug affecting some products with loose preview/readme files at the zip root, extracted-folder scanning now matches zip scanning, and dropping a folder full of zips onto the app now automatically batches them instead of failing.
Console window also stays open after a drag-and-drop run so you can read the result.

DazPackager v1.3.1 is out!
This update improves the generated package file names so Daz Install Manager always accepts them: dots, ampersands and other symbols are removed, and accented letters are converted to plain ones (é becomes e). Also fixed a bug where a folder name containing a dot (like "Genesis 8.1 & 9") was cut short.
