FileManagerDaz handles recursive extraction of ZIP/7z/RAR archives, detects DAZ content structure, and installs files into configured DAZ libraries with safety checks and content analysis. Built with Tauri, Rust, and Svelte for a fast, native experience.

Status

✅ Stable — v1.2.0. Core features are functional and actively maintained.

Features

• Drag & Drop Import Drop archives directly onto the app for instant processing
• Recursive Extraction Automatically handles nested archives (ZIP within RAR within 7z, etc.)
• Multi-Format Support ZIP, 7z, and RAR archives (RAR requires external unrar)
• DAZ Content Detection Identifies content types (characters, clothing, props, poses, etc.)
• Smart Installation Proposes optimal library locations based on content analysis
• Multiple Libraries Configure and manage multiple DAZ content libraries
• Task History Track import progress with detailed logs and retry failed imports
• Folder Normalization Batch-process messy download folders into organized libraries
• Maintenance Tools Detect duplicates, orphaned files, and clean up empty folders
• Smart Uninstaller Safely remove products from disk and database with dry-run preview
• Integrity Checker Verify installed products have all expected files on disk
• Scene Analyzer Parse .duf scenes to identify required products and missing assets
• Desktop Selection Windows Explorer-style Ctrl/Shift/Click multi-selection
• Collections Organize products into custom collections with batch tagging

Screenshots

Screenshots coming soon - the application is currently in development preview.
