Disk crash recovery problem - Solved

nowefg

Solution: Not sure why this was causing the problem, but when restoring the My Library folders after the disk crash, I had duplicated the Environments folder inside the original Environments folder.

I happened to notice the duplicate in among the rest of my enviroment sets, and accessing that folder showed all the content I had been unable to access previously in the Content Library pane.

I copied that second folder's contents back to the correct Environments folder, skipping existing files, deleted the duplicate (after saving it, just in case !,) and now the content items are showing up as they ought to in Content Library.

All the item files I coulnd't access were present in both the original, correct folder, and in the duplicate folder within that one, when I checked with Browse to Folder Location, so I don't know why these items wouldn't show up in both places inside Content Library, but they wouldn't. Something about the duplicate folder names, maybe?

Problem solved, though. For general interest sake, the drive that failed was a Western Digital Elements 2 TB, that I had been using for only about 6 months, holding 1.5 TB of data. Had a backup of the content... not quite luck, but close to it, considering.

 

I had a data disk crash, and have recovered all the content, which shows up in My Library folder, no problem.

Studio 4.12, though, now doesn't show some of these items in the Content Library, just the folder names, no content. Tried refresh, but that had no effect.

Browse to Folder Location shows all the content where it's supposed to be for those folders.

Content Directory Manager shows the correct path.

Tried reinstall of DS, no effect.

I should add that 99% percent of My Library is recognized, available, and loads correctly.

My install method, Manual, can't be at issue, since the items are all in the My Library folder. Reinstalling the content, manually, would just overwrite the same files, so no help there.

Some CMS update thing? I never mess with database issues in daz, because I have a huge library of purchased content, a very expensive asset to be playing around with/guessing.

Where is the hang-up? How do I fix it?
