How do I install with DIM brushes in two versions of photoshop?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I might be able to do Adobe CC for a year or two but I want to keep Photoshop CS6 on my computer.   If I can do that and put it on this computer, how do I install with DIM the brushes to both the CS6 and CC?  I do not want to uninstall from CS6 as I might not be able to do CC forever.

Also I am finding Filter Forge in my product library here.  Am I able to create commerical textures with it?  Or do I need to get the latest version?  It is Filter Forge 4.0?

    You can set an external folder for brushes and point the two versions of Photoshop to it. You should also be able to add both versions to the Application tab of DIM's preferences and have it install to both (I'm not sure, however, whether having two PS versions listed would confuse the installation of the 3d Bridge for DS).

    Stupid question, How do I tell Photoshop where the external folder for brushes and other presets are?  Right now I am not going to get Photoshop CC as that has been put off until further notice, but I would like to keep all my presets in a location other than the program files folder.

    Use the Preset Manager - it doesn't work quite the way I recalled, and isn't where I thought it was, but it can be reached from the gear icon in the pop-up panel when you click the brush icon on the tool bar, or from the Window Menu, or from a button in the Brushes pane. Click Load and you can select an abr file from any location on disc.

    I decided not to do CC at this point, but I will have 3 versions installed soon; CS5, CS5.5, and CS6.  I have my reasons I will not go into now, but what happens if I tell DIM about them all?

    If you ad them all to the list of known applications in DIM then each will get a copy of any compatible brushes (obviously any that require a specific version or versions should be flagged to install only to thsoe versions).
