Content not working

dennisgray41

I have several items in my inventory that have stopped working. Most of these are gen 8 items including gen 8 male. When I click on these items I get a dialog box that asks if I want to save before opening a new scene. If I do not click cancel, I get a box that says that the file I need does not exist. If I go to the file in explorer, It is there and does  work.Any idea how to fix this?

Did you install with DIM?  I would uninstall it and reinstall it to see if that makes it better.  Stuff happens.

I just tried loading WWH on V8 and it worked fine, so it's not the products.  Did you make any changes with regard to your content directories?

I have no Idea. I did a lot of things wrong when I started. That was why I included the file pat screenshot. WWH worked fine for me at one time too.

Have you tried right-clicking (for the option menu) and selecting Merge?

Note that the folder paths visible in your screenshots only show locations inside your content folder; they don't show where the content folder itself is. If you've been changing settings, you might have more than one content location — if DAZ|Studio is saying the file isn't in content folder A, but you're looking (and finding the file) in content folder B, that's actually correct. You can check your content location settings in the Content Directory Management dialog (right-click in the Content Library pane).

No, that's the folder list; I meant the content file display, the little thumbnails. When you right-click on one, you get options to Load (and replace the current scene) or Merge (add to the current scene), among other things.

It would be a lot easier to see what's happening if you collapsed the Info sub-tab at the bottom of the Content Library pane, if you aren't using it. Or maybe collapse the Timeline pane. Figuring out what you're actually seeing in those tiny little views can be a headache. As a bonus, you'll get a bit more Viewscreen real estate.
