Setting preferred Content Location

operator99

Somewhere along the line, Daz started putting my purchase (download and install using Install Manager) items on my C: drive, after two years of having only one path to put content and the path was to my Daz library on my D: drive. Not sure when they added the C: location, but now 50 gigs of content and its data are on my C:drive. Poking around I found a screen that lets me pick my preferred location and it was for the C:drive location. I was able to switch it to D: and for the next two "download and install's" the content went to D:. All good until today when I installed content from the store and it went into my C: drive location.  And now I can't find the screen that let me select my preferred location. Where is it? I you could point me to it, I would be most grateful. I also ask it is possible to merge the C:drive "My Library" to my D library. Pic of my to locations attached.

That's the DS dialogue, which controls where DS looks. The content that DS itself isntalls goes to the location set as the Daz Connect data diectory - which by default will be in your documents folder, wherever that is. The My Daz 3D Library is - and always has been - the default for Install manager, and the path there is set in DIM by clicking the gear icon at top-right and goint to the Installation tab, or by running http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/file_io/install_manager_config/start in DS with DIM closed.

For Studio, you specify your content paths in the Content Directory Manager. See First Screenshot. In DIM you specifiy the installation location in the Installation Tab. See second screenshot. These paths must match.
