DAZ Connect question

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

I Have a question about setting up path for external HD library with DAZ Connect. Here it is:

 

Is it possible to move DAZ Connect library to External HD (to set DAZ Connect Library path to external HD like I did with my usual DS Library)? I have low space on my computer HD, and I usualy manualy download files on one external HD from my old Lap Top, then switch that external to my desktop computer and copy and exctract files on my other external HD DS working library from where I upload files to DS.

    You can change where it installs to, I believe; don't use and don't plan to. But like you can change in preferences other locations, the same is true of connect - or the option shows in preferences at least.

    The folder used by Connect is set in the Content Directory Manager, which you can launch from the Content Library pane option menu (the lined button in the top corner, or right-click the tab). If you weren't using the drive at all the folder won't be a content directory once you have changed the setting - either add it (the folder that contains the Data folder) as a DAZ Studio Content Directory in the same dialogue or merge its Data folder with one of yoru others.

    You can in general stop applications from using the C: drive for documents in Windows by finding My Documents in the folder list, right-clicking, selecting Properties, and then altering the Location tab.

    My preferred method is manual installation and I use DS Content Library folders where I add new folder from my HD (DS or Poser content). Now there is only DAZ Connect download available of this product http://www.daz3d.com/make-a-wish-props and I can't add it to my Content Library as I usualy do.

     

    Can someone help me with this. I can't find options for that in Preferences, and I was thinking that I will not need it when I installed DS 4.9 so it used default C:\ path for DAZ Connect Content Library. How can I change that path now and switch it to my external HD for DAZ Connect Content?

    Just moves the existing c drive files to the desired location, then change the path in the content directory manager.
