Smart Content - Copy to New PC

I have successfully copied all my Daz Studio content over to my new PC at it appears to be working, but all the categories of that content I spent years building in the Smart Content tab to assist with my workflow have not come through. Is there a way to copy the Smart Content categorization over to the new PC and new Daz Studio installation? (For added fun I've been using 4.11 on my old PC, and now have 4.20 on the new one.)

    User categorisations are fairly simple to transfer:

    1. on the old system, open the Content Library pane option menu (the lined/hamburger button in the top corner, or right-click the tab)
    2. Click Content DB Maintenance
    3. in the dialogue check Export Userdata
    4. Click Accept
    5. this will write a bunch of userdata.dsx files to the /Runtime/Support folder in the first Daz Studio content directory
    6. copy the userdata fioles to the new machine, in the equivalent location (/runtime/Support/ in the first Daz Studio content direcotry)
    7. on the new system, open the Content Library pane option menu (the lined/hamburger button in the top corner, or right-click the tab)
    8. Click Content DB Maintenance
    9. Check Reimport Metadata
    10. Click Accept
    11. in the dialogue that opens check the option for the Userdata
    12. click Accept

    That will not, however, copy grouping (e.g. the New marker)

    Thanks! I am embarrassed to admit that after posting this, I looked through my own old posts and found you had answered the same question for me five years ago. I must be getting old and forgetful...!
