DAZ assets installation

plarff

OK here's what i have. I have a D-drive where i have told DAZinstallManager to install my new assets to. Assets I download form Renderocity for instance i unzip to here also.

Now for some reason i have a Onedrive DAZ installation folder. In DAZ itself i made sure it grabs the assets from my D-drive.

I have a feeling the annoying "Duplicate assests found" error i keep getting when opening a save file with a Gen8 character is a conflict between the OneDrive installed files and the D-drive one's.
 

Do i need teh OneDrive assets? Can i get rid of them or copy over to my D-drive install folder rather?

Someone else had a Onedrive folder. it's not soemthing DS or DIM do, I suspect it's Windows doing something you didn't realise it would do as a result of setting up Onedrive (or simply using a Microsoft ID to log-in). In any event, I doubt you are getting a duplicate assets error - duplicate formulas is more likely, and wouldn't be a result of a doubled up content folder even if DIM and DS are seeing the Onedrive location. If it is Duplicate Formulas that's usually down either to an error in a single product or to two products trying to use the same name for a custom property.

Ths Richard... mmm the Duplicate Formulas is a bit annoying but not hindered me. The oneDrive files are like 17.1GB in size so i think ill get rid of them or move for now and see what happens...

thx

Check your Onedrive settings - it may be mirroring your documents automatically (I don't have it set up so not sure where that would be).

OK, after loading the figure go to Help>Troubleshooting>View Log File, the search from the end for Duplicate. That should give you one of the sources (if it's a name coflict there may be another, which won't be listed).
