content library

I want to add a new content library from my bigger hard drive. My main C drive is to small to put all my content for DAZ on it so how do I put another content library from another hard drive in DAZ studio 4.5.

thanks for any help

One way...

Go to the drive with lots of space...in Explorer right click > New > Folder (name it My Library)...then copy/paste all your existing content there...

Then fire up DS, after the copying is finished...then Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager > New...then map your new location there.

After you are done, and are satisfied that everything is working from the new location, remove the old set...then in Explorer, delete the content from your user profile...

If you have a lot of content, then it will take a while (up to several hours) for the transfer to complete (especially with Windows disk caching/writing policies), so don't be too quick to delete anything.

Then, after that's all done, any new content you install, you would direct the installer to place it in the new location...

LOL Oh no need to be sorry...I found it rather amusing as it is a pretty fair assement
