Thanks, it is good to be back, I've missed it
All my existing DS products use the current DUF format, since DAZ has decided to discard all previous file formats from previous versions, and also from DS 4.0 all the way to 4.5. No vendor I know of will make new products using deprecated file formats, so I guess you will have to upgrade at some point. Everything I have from 3DU already uses the new DUF format. As vendors, we don't have a choice on that.
Just wanted to qualify this...previous formats can still be used. As you said they deprecated versions and duf is the preferred format but they still work in DS.
Miss B...I'm curious as to why you haven't moved forward. I'm sure you've answered this for me before but I can't remember what you said. Doesn't the more recent versions work on your computer or is it a matter of principle? Not criticizing or anything just curious...
Sure, the files can still be read, but some tools will not work with them, since they expect DUF format instead. I like DUF much better than anything DAZ has used before. It's plain text and encoded with JSON international standard. JSON has been growing in popularity and was a good idea to use it with DAZ contents. It has unified all contents under a single encoding standard that is universal and easy to read. No complains form me on that part.
It's pretty much a matter of principle Pen. I wasn't interested in Genesis 2 or 3, so upgrading wasn't necessary for me, because Genesis 1, V5/M5 and all their related products in DSF format work just fine in my DS 4.0 Pro.
Then again, now with Dusk, Dawn, Luna, Harry, et al., and my getting back into Poser after a 6 or 7 year hiatus, I was even more convinced I didn't really need to upgrade. I still use DS 3A, and my DS 4.0 Pro when I want to use my Genesis 1 characters. Now that I'm not spending that much at DAZ any more, I have money to spend elsewhere, like here at the Hive.

I like DUF too Ken...it's very easy to use.
Thanks for the answer Miss B...there are benefits to upgrading DS in terms of rendering options and also other changes they've made but I can understand that you may be moving more to Poser and leaving DS behind. Upgrading your version of DS doesn't mean you have to adopt either Genesis 2 or 3 either though and the Hivewire family work beautifully in the more recently versions of DS. I mainly use Dawn and Dusk although I do like Genesis 3 and can still use all my Genesis items.
In regards to Daz connect it's my understanding that at this point it can be ignored by closing the tab so I will be upgrading to 4.9 as the recent version has some changes I want to play with and I find it so much easier to use than Poser as you know!

I'm not sure I'll ever leave DS behind completely. I still use my Bryce 7, and we know that's not going to be updated any time soon. It's too bad, as I started out in 3D with Bryce 4 and outdoor landscape renders. I only got into portrait renders when I started beta testing for a vendor over at Renderosity back in 2010, and now it seems like that's about all I do. I think I need to drag myself into Bryce and come up with some nice outdoor landscape scenes again.

Really amazing render Ken! She looks really awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Lyne, Dawn looks really wonderful! I like what you did with her lips! Thanks so much for sharing!
Oh, that looks lovely, Pen! I love the colors on that outfit, too.
