Where is my Smart Content

RalM

Hello everybody

I`ve installed all my Daz Content on a seperate SSD on my computer. Now the other SSD with the sytems sofware. Daz Studio and the Installmanager crashed.

I reinstalled all at a new one. Now all data from smart content is lost. I can all load from the content manager, but nothing from smart content.

How can I get the files back ?

The database would, by default, have been on the boot drive. If you installed with DIM it should be enough to go to the Content Library pane option menu (the lined button in the top corner, or right-click the tab) and select Content DB Maintenance, check Re-import Metadata, then in the enxt dialogue check the master box for all products (and User data if it finds any). That assumes you don't have a back up of the old system drive, at least for your profile folder.

Ok, that works thank you.

Can you tell me how I get the data of the installed files  back to the install manager ?

So that the list of the installed files is up to date.

DIM tracks isntalled files by the .dsx files in the Manifests folder, in the Daz Install Manager folder if you haven't changed it. If you don't have a back-up the only way to repopulate  it would be to reinstall.

Ok thank you again.

I have the dsx.files. The path is set in DIM. Now DIM shows the installed files in ''ready to install '' and not in '' installed ''.

How can I fix that ?

That means it's seeing the zip but not seeing an installed listing in the manifests folder - the .dsx fiels in the Downloads folder are not the same as those in the Manifests folder.
