What package contains the Uber base shader?

wscottart

Trying to remove packages from one library and re-install to a preffered library, but withj thousands of packages its hard to find the one witht the paths I want to change.

Want to delete the uber base shader and move them to a more moveable disk.

Its part of the Default resources for daz studio.

If you want the easiest method, just move the default library in its entirety, then change the path in CDM(content directory manager) to the other drive.

You can edit the DSX file for CDM(contentdirectorymanager.dsx) with a program like Notepad++ and change all the drive letter's at once.

In fact the last action doesn't work as all the active Library paths are stored in Windows Registry rather than contentdirectorymanager.dsx which only saves Content Sets...

That's correct, except that if you change which 'set' is active(current directories) it also updates the registry.

To clarify the process.

In CDM(content directory manager), select the 'current directories' and then click the 'copy' button.

Clicck accept, and then edit the Contentdirectorymanager.dsx file with the new drive path.

Back in cdm, you'll just need to select the copied set(which has been modified) by clicking the radio button and clicking accept.

This will make the new paths active in Current directories and updates the registry entries.

Yep, that's right !

Yep, that's right !

although I think the script is less fiddly.

The script is good !

Well I went through manually finding what I needed. Everything in one place now no more duplicates, except a few products where vendors are carless with naming.

 

Thank you all
