Smart Content not appearing (just did a system restore)

I just did a system restore on my laptop and everything was deleted from my hard drive. Ive now been trying to put everything back, starting with DAZ studio.

Ive copied my existing library into my documents then installed Daz studio. During instalation I selected the 'My library' folder that I had set up. When I load daz, there is no content in the smart content tab, and genesis doesnt load on startup, but its all there in the content library.


Any help would be great. This whole 'starting over' thing has been frustrating enough.

    Have you set the DS Paths in the Content Directory Manager to your My Library location?

    Where is that located? I didn't see that option in Daz's tabs.

    Where is that located? I didn't see that option in Daz's tabs.Edit>Preferances>Content Library>Content Directory Manager. Here is my Default DIM install.

    I did that, and set it to the 'my library' path. Only one file shows up in the smart content tab: my most recently saved scene file.

    Since you didn't install afresh the content hasn't been added to the metadata queue to be inserted in the database - go to the Content Library pane, open the option menu by right-clicking the tab or by clicking the button in the top corner, and select Content DB Maintenance. In the dialogue check Re-Import Metadata... and click Accept, then again click Accept in the import dialogue.

    That did the trick, its all back now.

    Thank you!
