Freeware, currently in alpha. This program requires the installation of
Account Manager for DAZ3D as it needs data from this program to work.
If you're already using Account Manager you need to update to the current
version in order to use this program.
Features:
- Shows directly in product categories and artist stores which products you already have purchased (size of picture icon is
reduced to 1/4 of normal size, plus product names are listed in separate panel), so
you don't have to spend time on opening their product pages to check their
"purchased" status in order to avoid duplicate purchases.
- Works whether you're logged in to the DAZ Store or not, but remember to log in
with the browser if you want to check "Purchased" status on the individual product pages.

IMPORTANT: The program
should be 100% reliable when it comes to the "purchased"
status of single products, so if a single product appears as "purchased" you can
safely ignore it. That said, its reliability depends on the consistency of
the data and code in the DAZ Store and Product Library so there may be exceptions. Please let me
know if you notice any inconsistencies. In any case you can always check a
product's product page if in
doubt (you can do that simply by dragging its icon with the mouse to the left browser
panel).
However, currently it does NOT work reliably with bundles as the bundle data in the DAZ
Product Library is (hopefully temporarily) unreliable, probably because of
a bug in the library. Basically this means that
certain bundles are not marked as "purchased" by the program despite you already
have purchased them (this includes bundles (like the free "Anime Star Fighter")
which are actually not named "bundle", and therefore may be confused with single products).
If you want to check the "purchased" status of bundles that are not marked as purchased by the
program, open their product page. If they do not appear as purchased here
either, it is highly recommended to check the "purchased" status of the
individual items the bundle consists of (there are links to these on the "What's
Included & Features" tab).
As a general rule, always check
the product page for any product you want to buy just in case, and do the extra
checks for bundles mentioned above, then you should be safe from buying
something you already have.
For Windows Vista*, 7, 8 with IE 9 or higher
* Not tested yet but should work
Requires .NET Framework 3.5. Windows 7 already have this installed. If you're running Vista
or 8 you may have to install it
before the program will work. If Windows does not automatically offer to
install it when you run the program, you can download it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=22
INSTALLATION: Just unzip the files into a folder and run
StoreBrowserDAZ.exe.
First time you run this program, or if you up- or downgrade Internet Explorer on your system,
please set Browser Compatibility Mode (under Tools menu), otherwise you may experience misformatted
and malfunctioning webpages in the built-in browser.
Depending on your system setup, you may have to use the "Run as
Administrator" option in order for the program to work correctly. Do not try to
install in any of the "Program Files" folders as it will currently not work
correctly in these folders. Use the "ProgramData" folder on your system partition
(usually hidden, so you may have to set Explorer or whatever file manager you
are using to show hidden files, to access it), or some other location of your choice.
