Missing Thumbnail files

I'm probably calling these things by their wrong name so bear with me. This has happened on a few purchases so I need to find out how to fix them. The way I like to work in Daz is using the Smart Content panel, I like knowing I'm looking for say..clothing, I click the Wardrobe panel, and then I see thumbnails, and that's how I prefer to work.

I don't like using the Content Library unless I have to.

Today I purchased the Aiko Full set, one of the outfit sets 'Rave Girl' did install, I can select the items from the Content Library, but the thumbnails are not in the wardrobe section under Smart Content...all of the other outfits from the bundle are there.

Epic wings for genesis is the same way, and all of the dystopian city packs I have bought are that way also.
It's not as intuitive to have to keep searching folder by folder, trying to remember the name of the product or who made it. I just wish I could have all of my purchases in Smart Content.


Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to add these items there with their proper thumbnails to click on to load?

Thanks

    If you look in \Runtime\Support in the folder you installed to, using the operating system file manager, do you see three files for the sets? Also, did you download the installers or did you use the DAZ Install Manager?

    You can find it in Smart Content > Products in Default in alphabetical order. It is simple to find in the Content Library, under People > Genesis > Clothing > Rave. I never use Smart Content, and I find the Content Library to be terrific, even the search option works well too. I typed in 'rave', and I got the whole lot, however, if you want to see it in Smart Content, there is a little bit of work to do.

    Find it in the Content Library, then right click and use the Categorize option, and decide where you want it put. I just did this, and put the shorts into Wardrobe > Pants, and created a new category called Shorts. You need to right click on the 'Default' in SC and then click on Refresh.

    This is exactly what I needed, thank you!

    Hmm, I thought I had this figured out.
    It let me add some things from the content library, like clothing, but when I try to add 'Epic Wings' and some of the environments like 'City Ruins' they don't add.

    So with city ruins, I found it in content library, right clicked, selected categorize, I drill down: Categories > Default > Environments > and then checked cityscape. I refresh the environments tab in smart content and it doesn't appear. I thought you could put these items wherever you wanted in smart content?
