Where are my shaders?

Sand3

Yesterday I installed Sketchy Toon Shaders and the path where Install Manager says it installed to doesn't exist when I look at the files in My Docs. To make it more annoying, DS 4.10 isn't even showing the shaders that I can see in My Docs. So first question is where the heck is Sketchy, and second question is how do I get Daz to see the stuff that is there?

Check inside the "DimensionTheory" folder under Shader Presets.

That's becuase you didn't look in the right path. Your My Docs screenshot shows the Connect Library.  Further, your "Installed Files" screenshot clearly shows the Shadres inside the "Dimension Theory" folder.

There is no "Dimensional Theory" folder inside of the "Shader Presets" folder, that is why I posted the screen shot of my "Shader Presets" folder. "Dimensional Theory" is not there. Further, all but three of the folders that are in the "Shader Presets" folder do not appear in DS.

The middle screen shot shows your Daz 3d/Studio/My Daz Connect Library folder in your own docuemnts folder, not the My Daz 3D Library in the Public Documents folder. You should nto have any regular content in the my Daz Connect Library by default, and if you have chnaged the settings to use it for installs you must make sure the matching chnage has been made in DS (and vice versa).

Thank you. I've moved between four different computers since I started with DS3, and it looks like half of the files are going to one documents folder and the other half to the other, and the dates on the folders make it look like Install Manager has been creating new paths even now. I think Install Manager itself must be in the wrong place or have some other problem, I'm going to try uninstalling it and reinstalling to get it shooting at consistent targets.
