Moving DAZ Studio to my D drive

johnbuckeridge

Evening, all.  I'm finding DAZ running slowly on my more limited-capacity C drive (475 GB) and been thinking about moving it to my much larger D drive (1.81 TB), working on the assumption that this would make DS run more efficiently.  Two questions: 

(1) Am I correct in my assumption?

(2) Is there a way of doing this without losing all my saved morphs, sets and other custom content and having to start again from scratch?

Thanks!

1) probably not - it's more likely that, assuming the content you have added includes morphs and characters and that the slow down is in scenes with figures, the number of potentially linked proeprties DS has to scan through on each adjustment is having an impact.

2) yes, Install manager and Daz central store absolute locations but Daz Studio itself is interested only in the relative location of fiels within the content directory, so you can move (and/or rename) the My Library folder as long as you tell Daz studio where it has gone via Edit>Preferences>Content tab>Content Directory manager.

Thank you, Richard, as always.
