    Try re-importing your metadata after you assign the folder to DS.

    Is DIM not installing things where you want them, or is DS not looking for them in the right place?

    Not looking in the right place I have to keep making a new area for it to look but it doesn't stick and then I have to keep going to it each time.I load

    Please post screenshots of your Content Directory Manager (Edit>Preferencs>Content Library tab>Conect Directory Manager) showing all of your current content paths and of your Install Manager installation paths (Preferences, the gear icon at top-right, Installation tab).

    How and where are these items installed?

  • chris_settlemoirchris_settlemoir Posts: 362

     they are installed in a filder in  e drive in Daz studio folder on that and it even shows under  meta data on there

    The screenshot of your Content Directory Manager settings shows only Connect-installed items on E:, the other paths are all on C:.

    Did you re-import metadata after changing the content locations?
