How to move dim to another computer with the already downloaded content listed?

guangh69

I got a new computer then I installed dim. But the files I have already downloaded are not listed in it.  Is there any way to meak them appear so I will know whether there are some updates to the prodcuts I had downloaded.

I will not use the old computer  to download in the future because there is not much harddrive space left/

Thank you!!!

Copy the old DIM download content to an external drive and change the path of where the DIM content on the new computer is to the external drive I think will work. At least to did for me if I remember right.

You do that in DIM. I tried to make example of the steps.

If you want DIM to know what you already installed, copy over the ManifestFiles directory.

Thank you so much, Fixmypcmike and nonesuch00 .I am really apprieciate for both of your help.

And where is the ManifestFiles directory. I know there is a manifest file in each package. But I do not know where did DIM put them to.

The default on Windows is C:\Users\Public\Documents\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\ManifestFiles
