OK, struggling with Studio Install, again. Why don't you allow in the studio installation the option to install on another drive besides "C".

I am trying to install Studio on my MAC with DIM (Central is a pain because you cannot select "ALL" when installing the assets which I have hundreds.) Anyhow, I carefully looked at the structure of the files/directories on the install on the "C" Drive ( I call it a "C" drive on the MAC even though it isn't..It is the main volume). I set up and copied over precisely the structure/files/directories on a very large external Drive. Well, everything is fine except CMS will not start. It says it cannot find it. So, I go into Content Directory Maintenance and give the path. I go to the CMS tab in preferences and browse to the directory. I apply and accept. Close down studio; re-open Studio and the same issue. I go to Content Directory Maintenace and the path I set is now gone. I go to the CMS tab in Preferences and it has switched back to "NONE" and wiped my path. So, what is up with that???? I manually downloaded the PostreSQL download; clicked it an nothing happened...so what is up with that?? I gave permission to open it on the MAC (The latest OS is a pain in the rumpus..it is getting like Windows...don't allow this, and that without your "state Govenours' Approval"......CRAP!!) Anyhow, I would like to get into Studio; I have images to process. Any help would be appreciated.

Install Manager allows you to set a base path for applications

This sounds like a permissions issue writing the settings - you may want to look at https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/16599/the-mac-faq#latest
