I have just installed the new DAZ 4.12. I have all my DAZ content saved on a backup hard drive it is saved to E: My Daz Connected Library. When i use content directory manager and add this folder nothing shows up. I've used this same folder for all versions of DAZ from 4.6 to 4.10 and normally everything loads into the content tab. With 4.12 nothing shows up in the content pane. Anyone with some suggestions ?

    Please post screenshots of the Content Directory Manager and of one of the products, in its folders, that isn't showing in DS.

    It isn't standard to have the Content Cluster set to a folder isnide a content directory, though I don't know that it will do any harm. What I meant for the secnd screen shot was a standard fiel browser window showing some of the installed content you expect to show up, and where it is on disc. How did you isntall your content? If you used Install Manager please open itss ettings (the gear icon at top-right) and take a screen shot of the Instalaltion tab. I would not expect to see anything in the root AniBlocks folder, as shown in the Content Library screen shot.

    I have not installed anything with DIM other than studio and cms. I have all my DAZ files saved to an external harddrive. Normally when doing a fresh install of studio I can simply point content directory manager to the files folder on my drive E: and everything automatically loads. Since installing 4.12 no matter how I configure content directory manager to the files folder,it simply doesnt show up. They folder is well over 500gigs of content so i cant just simply copy and past it back to drive C: as drive C: is only 450gig. I am not actually installing anything. I'm just trying to point studio to the folder of content already installed on another harddrive as I have done since installing 4.6 thru 4.11. In this screen shot is the file directory I am trying to use. I have already tried moving the "My Daz Connected Library" folder out of the sub folders and it still wouldnt load the files. As you can see if the first screen shot all the internal folders are found and present but no content loads.If this makes any sense at all.

    The content cluster got saved in there as i was changing setting and erinstalling studio trying to get my old content to be found. And thanks in advance for any and all help

    Changing layout dosn't do anything to content, though it will change the state of the panels (but you didn't appear to have anything collapsed that shouldn't be) and the current folder showing.
