Please Help! Missing Categories after transfer Content-Files

in Daz Studio Discussion

Hi Guys,

due to lack of space I transfered my User-Content Files (C:\Users\...\Documents\DAZ 3D\Studio\My Library) to another Drive (X:\DAZ3D).
I changed the Settings in the Content Directory Manager and it seems to be okay.

But unfortunately I lost my Categories. I have a lot of Content and all were carefully organized. A lot of work, as you can imagine for sure.
The Category-Folders are still present, but they show only the Public Content Files (from C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library).
sad What can I do now? Please Help!

    Did you Export User Data?

    Yes, I've exported the User Data. But not Metadata.

    And now?

    The User Data is the metadata. Note that the Categories view is driven by the content database, which is not stored in the same folder as the content or the program. Exporting the user data places this database info into (I think) the /Runtime/Support/ folder in your content location, so that must always be done first, before you actually move any files.

    Re-Import Metadata will allow you to reimport the User Data with all your custom categories.

    Puh! Thank you very much, Fixmypcmike and SpottedKitty. It has been worked :-)

    I knew about the Exportfile: Runtime\Support\UserData_1.dsx. But I didn't figured out, that UserData = MetaData.

    Thank you so much. Now I can delete the Files in C:\
