is my DIM and DS folder set up properly ?

Aristoc

May be a repost but I wanted to make sure my paths are set up properly for using Das Studio.
I have no idea why there appears to be two folders under the Das formats and two folders under the Poser formats directory?
If wrong is there a way to correct anything?
Thank you

You are right, no mistake
The two path for contents in directory manager are because,
when Use DIM to install contents, DIM need clean and new directory to understand which files are installed by DIM.

When install daz studio by installer, we decide default Contents directory too.
and default setting is, c:// users/Home/Documents/DAZ 3D/studio/My library.

without change them, it is right path, but after DAZ release DIM,
we install contents by DIM. then DIM needed to change Contents directory
to the New default path for ds and poser Contents, ,
it is,
c:// users/Public/Documents/MY DAZ 3D library,,
(I think so,, though I do not use default directory,,)

Then,, after all, if you have not installed any contents
in the " c:// users/Home/Documents/DAZ 3D/studio/My library." (old default root directory for daz contents)

you need not to remain the path for daz studio directory manager. so that
you can delete the old path, and remain only new DIM default path.

but If you have installed some contents to the old default directories,
(Usually we had installed many contents to the old Path,, untill DAZ released DIM)
You may need to check contents in the Directory which can install by DIM or not.
after that install Contents by DIM to new directories.
then uninsall same contents which have installed to old contents directory.

(Most of contents which you bought in daz web shop should be shown In DIM too,
but other contents which you downloaded from other sight or originals can not be installed
by DIM,,so that you need manually move them to new directory, or just remain the old path in directory manager.
after all, DS can find two root for contents. then load files by relative path from root.

and If you remain two path in daz studio, usually it may not cause any problem.
but if you have same files in both directory, it cause problem.
