Question about creating an smart content freebie

I tried to create a smart content usable freebie.

So I have made metadata entries and even made a .jpg 114/148 for the support folder, so that the product has a thumb nail.

On my PC all worked fine until I packing the product, erase it and intall it new. In the content library all worked fine. but all the entrys that I have made with the metadata editor are gone. 

If tried to copy the support folder with the entrys for the product in the packet, but that seems not work.

What did I wrong?

Wrong path, missing a folder or a step?

Can anybody help?

    Did you reimport metadata, checking just that item (assuming it appears)? DS won't read the metadata if it justs its there passively, it has to be told to add it to the database.

    Ahh so simple, now it worked, but is there no other way to show up my freebie?

    It is a bit inconvenient for the user if he has to do it by hand.

    It should be possible to have a script to load the metadata (back in the old days the daz installers put a script in the RunOnce folder so the metadata was imported on the next launch), but I'm not sure there are current instructions. There's a commercial option to make the package DIM ready https://www.daz3d.com/content-package-assist
