DAZ Packager

All your RenderHub Daz content now compatible with Daz Install Manager.

Ever bought a Daz Studio product outside the official store and had to manually dig through folders instead of just using Install Manager? DazPackager fixes that.

Drop your .zip (or an already-extracted folder) onto DazPackager, and it generates the Manifest.dsx and Supplement.dsx files Daz Install Manager needs — no manual editing, no guesswork.

Useful whether you're buying or releasing content:

Customers: turn any purchase into a clean, DIM-installable package in seconds
Content creators: package your releases so your buyers get the smooth Install Manager experience, without you changing how you build your products

What it does:

Scans your content automatically and detects its structure (works even without a Content/ folder)
Generates a properly formatted package, ready to drop into DIM's watched folder
Batch mode: process a whole folder of products in one go
Drag & drop support — just drop your files onto the app
Free, open source, no installation required (single portable .exe)

How to use it:

Download the latest release from GitHub
Drag your .zip file (or extracted folder) onto DazPackager.exe
Drop the generated package into your Install Manager download folder — done

Command-line usage:

DazPackager - generates a Manifest.dsx and Supplement.dsx to make a zip installable via Daz Install Manager

Single item:
DazPackager.exe [product_name] [--yes]
Path to a source .zip file OR an already-extracted product folder
[product_name] Optional. If omitted, a name is suggested from the source name.
--yes / -y Optional. Automatically overwrites existing .dsx files without asking.

Batch mode (process every .zip and subfolder found directly inside a folder):
DazPackager.exe --batch [--yes]
Product names are always auto-suggested in batch mode (no manual naming per item).

Tip (Windows): dragging one or more .zip files / folders directly onto DazPackager.exe works too.

Free and open source under the MIT license. Get it on my GitHub.

DazPackager doesn't bypass any DRM or licensing — it just packages content you already own (or that you're releasing yourself) so DIM can install it properly. Only use it with content you have the legal right to package.

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.

What's new
1.1.0: added an optional output folder setting (point packages straight to your DIM Downloads folder), and fixed the package naming prefix per Daz3D naming rules.

1.2.0: Optionally auto-delete the source after a successful package, and save a full run log to a text file.
README also fully updated to cover everything the tool now does.

1.3.0: fixed a detection bug on some products with loose files at the zip root, folder scanning now matches zip scanning, and dropping a folder of zips now auto-batches instead of failing.

1.3.1: package file names are now always DIM-safe (symbols removed, accents converted), and folder names containing a dot are no longer cut short.

As always, feel free to report any zip structure that doesn't get detected correctly!
