List of content - what the frack?

SimonJM

I finally got sick to death of having the entries for 'Leather and Fur Shaders' duplicated when I look at them under the Shaders tab,m with one icon being blank with an exclamation mark I uninstalled and re-installed.  All well and good, but no entry any more.  Scratched head, went to Content DB Maintenance and did a manual reimport of the metadata and ... nothing.  Shut DS and re-started, just in case - oh, and yes, DS was closed when I used DIM for the re-install cycle.  Still nothing.

Bigger hammer time ... so I reset the database and reinstalled all the metadata.  And yes, you guessed it, still not listed, and I now, under the Surfacing tab, have more base entries than I used to have under Presets - I am sure I never had a 'Saved Files' item, nor a Poses one (Ok, ignore that - stopped that with clicking on Filter By Content).  Anyway ... it gets worse!  I found them, under Smart Content (really starting to think that's a bigger oxymoron than 'military intelligence') in the Loading tab.  What?  A quick check shows that if I list Smart Content under Loading (Shaders> Iray) I see them (and a few others), but if I list them under the Surfaces tab (Default> Shaders> Iray) I don't.
