DIM directory copied over from all computer...

Kev914

I've started getting Duplicate Formulas Found errors. I think that is what the message said. I think it is because I installed almost everything through Daz Connect on my new box. But I did copy over my DIM directory from the old machine. There are some 3rd party products that I wanted. Plus there are some things that don't install through connect, like M4 and V4 and the plugins like Look At My Hair. When I installed Daz Studio, it created the default directories. I then modified them to point to the ones I wanted to use. On the old machine, everything was on the C drive. On the new machine, I wanted it on the D drive. There already was JSON so I don't think I copied the old one over. I wasn't sure if they could be merged somehow? I think that JSON file might be what tells DIM what products are installed. But I could be wrong? Right now DIM doesn't see any of the old DIM files are being installed. Could I temporairly rename the new one and drop the old JSON one in place, so I can unistall the unneeded files that I installed through DIM. But that may not work since the original products were installed on the C drive but the new library is on the D drive now. Or would I have to reinstall them just so I can uninstall them?

Or maybe the best solution would be to stop using the old DIM directory and just install the things that require DIM into a new directory?

Or would the duplicate error not even be caused by this?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

some product use same formula but different target description in "data" folder
in my case duplicated formula was "smile" expression related to "mouth" in Genesis 3 models
- in product the user use already data found in basic genesis 3 essential character

check you LOG files and read what is duplicated,,
- first clean/delete the log, (when you are in notepad)
- reload the character (duplicate formula found message appear)
- read the log, search in all data forlder the duplicate data
- not delete, just remove outside of data folder, reload your character, if no duplicated message appear you found it 

there is what the log report ( adorbs was the key to search)
