Can You Change the Path of the Manifest Archive?

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I'm trying to install my large Content Library onto my new SSD. My older SSD is a C drive, and I've given my new SSD the letter Q. I initially installed a lot of my content through DIM, and I directed both DIM and DS to my Q drive. However, as I installed my content, I noticed that my storage in my older C drive was increasing along with my storage in my Q drive. I think the reason DIM was doing this is it was still installing manifest files onto my C drive. But when I attempted to change the path of the Manifest archive from my C drive to my Q drive, it reverted right back to the C drive. Is there some way to change the path of the Manifest Archive?

    I believe you have to restart DIM after changing the path.

    Hello, NorthOf45,

    I've restarted DIM after I changed the path, but the path of the Manifest Archive still reverts back to my C drive.

    Check to see if the new path is being saved in the DIM configuration file in the following location:

    C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\UserAccounts

    Edit the .ini file with your Daz account name and look for "CurInstallPath" (should be near the top). Sorry, that should be OverrideManifestDir

    Thank you both for your help. NorthOf45, I believe your suggestions have helped me solve my storage problems.
