saved poses gone from preset list [Solved]

AbnerK

Hi, I had an issue with my CMS connection so I followed some of the advice listed on the forum. It worked, but now I've lost all my saved poses from within Presets in Smart Content, (also saved materials and surfaces) I looked through my computer and the poses are all there in /Users/jim/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/My Library/Scene Subsets but I can't find them from within Daz Stuio Smart Content. Have I lost the plot or have I somehow lost connection to them?

Edit. I can find them Content LIbrary but how can I find them through Smart Content again?

Thanks

Jim

You can just drag them over to the desired category, while the target figure is loaded and selected.

If you reset the database and reimport metadata you will lose any additions or alterations you have made, unless you have exported user data before hand; to do that, open the Content Library option menu (the lined button in the top corner or right-click the tab), Contnt DB Maintenance, check Export Userdata, click Accept. You need to do that periodically to keep your back up current. If you want to keep an external backup of the exported data, they are the UserData_#.dsx files in the Runtime/Support folder in the first content directory listed in DS.

Hi Thanks Richard, 

I did see the warning about losing user data but it just didn't occur to me that it would mean that. I didn't export and I don't have any UserData_ in my support folder. I haven't got that many things stored and I can access them from Content Library so I'll jus build them again. The drag and drop works I did try that too. 

 

Thanks.
