Daz Studio is reporting that it can't find tis file... Could not open file : /Light Presets/Easy Portraits/Helper files/Easy Portraits Render Quality Better.duf
However, the file is indeed there in the location where DS says it should be.
At one point my content was on a secondary drive. The C: drive has since been upgraded to a 1 TB drive and DS was uninstalled then reinstalled.
Looking at the Content Directory Manager it looks like the paths are all correct.
This particular product had been working prior to the reinstall.

So where, on disc, is /Light Presets/Easy Portraits/Helper files/Easy Portraits Render Quality Better.duf ?
Exactly which version of DS is this (Help>About Daz Studio)?
Version 4.12.1.117 Pro Edition (64-bit)
C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\Light Presets\Easy Portraits\Helper files\Easy Portraits Render Quality Best.duf
Better or Best?
They all to the same thing
Iif you find th4e Easy Portraits product in the products tab of Smart Content what icon, if any, does it have at top-riight of the thumbnail?
If you mean in Daz Studio they say "Render" in the top right corner
Just for giggles I uninstalled it using DIM then installed it from within Daz Studio. Daz Studio installed it into a different location and now it works. It's under my documents \ DAZ 3D \ My Daz Connect Library now.
No, I meant the actual product thumbnail before you open it to show the files.
Oh, sorry I misunderstood
It is working now that I installed it from Daz Studio. The icon looked the same now as when I had it installed via DIM. The only difference is that the files are in a completely different folder.
Thank you for all of your help lately!
That is what I suspected - the lack of an icon (downward pointing triangle in a circle) at top-right of that thumbnail meant the system thgought there already was an installation through Daz Studio, and it was trying to load those files instead of the ones from DIM. You cabn now either uninstall the DS one, and it will go back to using the DIM install, or you can uninstall the DIM version - there's no need to have both.
