Installing on new computer

in Daz Studio Discussion

I have a new computer with 500 GB SSD and 2 TB HHD.  I put all my Daz content files into the D drive and installed Daz Studio 4.21 on the C drive and I've been going around in circles trying to make DS see my files.  I'm so confused now.  I have items coming up in my content inside DS that I don't remember buying.  It's not locating my files.

I've always had a Studio folder in MyDocuments and the Daz installer put them into my user folders. 

I don't have enough room on my C drive to put any content there.  I have around 380 GB on the SSD free and only 500 GB on the 2 TB free.  I need to consolidate my content.  I want to put my MyDocuments/Studio content with the installer content and have DS see it.

Any suggestions?

    What are your current setting in DIM and in Daz Studio?

    DIM - I have everything in D drive but it won't let me change the content directory so it's showing as C drive.  The problem is that the path it is showing does not exist.   See image.

    I do have a path C/users/Public/Public Documents/My Daz 3D Library.

    Daz Studio -  part of my problem is that I've never used DS 4.21 before.  It's different.  I have a huge Lost and Found folder, my people folder is under figures and has few of the figures I've purchased but not all of them.  I don't see Genesis in there yet.  She/he may still be in DIM to download.

    If you in DIM go to Advanced Seetings > Installation.

    Then at the bottom add the path where you want DIM to install, and then select that path in 'Content Path Shortcuts'.

    Thank you felis.  I see that I could designate my own path.  It accepted it.
