Moving Content

Trake118

I used to have my content in F:\trip.  I have moved it all to D:\ and added new content.  The content directory manager only has the D:\ drive location but still a lot of my content is referencing it's F:\trip location and loading from there.  Is there a way I can tell it to change every case where a location is listed as F:\trip to make it say D:\.  I think this may be causing my "duplicate formulas found in files" error and It's agrivating having two large content locations.

 

Thanks for any help.

If you have any custom categories, tags, or metadata, put the F:\trip location back in Content Directory Manager as the secnd location, leaving D: as the first,and Export User Data.  Then remove the F:\trip location, reset the database, and Re-Import Metadata.

Are you looking at your content in Smart Content, Products, or Categories? These views do not show the files that make up your content, they show a sorted and filtered view of a database of links to your content files. This database is created and added to as you install new content. Only the DAZ Studio Formats and Poser Formats sections in the Content Library tab show your actual content files as they're arranged in your computer. If you change your content location, but don't change the database, the links in the database are still pointing to your old content location. The only way to fix this is to use the database controls in the Options of the Content Library tab, as mentioned above.
