I refuse the slavery of the DAZ-verse and their pervasive content manglement system and the DAZ Install Mangler that are REQUIRED FOR DS TO OPERATE (DS must LOG IN or load, import and other functions are inoperable).

WHAT?!?! That must be something new, because it wasn't necessary when DIM was first created. I know because back when I was still using DS, I was on the DIM beta team, and that was NOT an option. Then again, I came back to Poser and stopped updating my DS once DS 4.0 Pro was introduced, so this must be something with the newer versions of DS, because it was not done back then.

I only use DIM, and only ever used DIM, except when beta testing, for downloading because I can download a bunch of files at once. But I ALWAYS manually installed my products from DAZ. It's always been my preferred method of installing 3D content, but for me DIM was good for downloading, because I could set it up, and then walk away to do something else until it was finished downloading. I never load it up for any other reason.

Oh wait, now I get it . . . it's not DIM, it's the newer DAZCentral that must be doing this. That IS new, so that's why I never saw anything like that.
