Fixing my DAZ Install Manager

I just moved these two folders from my C Drive Public Documents to my D Drive: "DAZ3D" and "My DAZ 3D Library". From then on, I went over to DAZ and added the D drive onto my directory. Everything seems to working fine from then on forward. Except for my DIM. Whenever I log back into my DIM, it's telling me to redownload everything that I've already installed and moved over to my D Drive, but for some reason, it's not registering the moved content. I've already changed the Installation Content Path onto my D Drive, but to no avail. How do I make it so DIM recognizes all my downloaded/installed content, like how it was before moving these two folders onto my D Drive?

Thanks!

    Moved to Technical Help as it is not a Daz Studio issue.

    DIM uses the manifest files to tell it what it has installed (and where, unlike DS it stoes the absolute path). So in the Advanced Settings of DIM you need to chnage the location of the manifest Archive, and also presumably the Download Archive (if you keep the zips).

    If you do keep the zips you can select everything in the Installed tab and right-click>Reinstall to update the paths used.

    Works like magic! Thanks! I only changed the location of the Manifest Archive and it now works as intended. I left the Download Archive as is; I don't download zips manually aside from 3rd parties (those still work fine), so I should already be good to go on that front.

    Thanks again!
