Missing files, files not found

in Daz Studio Discussion

Today Daz studio just decided to not be able to find any supporting files for any object. I can't figure it out. I haven't move the runtime folder and all of the files it needs are there. Any ideas?

    What is the path to your content folder?

    /Users//Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/content

    How are your settings in the Content Directory Manager? Have you set the directory location in both, DAZ Studio Format and Poser Format settings?

    EDIT: For exmple, my files are at G:\\DAZ Content Files\My DAZ3D Library, so I added that to the Content Directories.

    Yeah, and now they are working and I haven't changed anything. They work and then the next time I open Daz they don't.

    Weird. Maybe one of the MAC specialists can solve that puzzle?

    It looks to me like you have an extra folder named "Content" inside your actual content folder:  the path to the files is:

    "/Users/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/content", but the Content Directory Manager probably shows it as

    "/Users/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio"

    Are the files, by any chance on an external drive?

    I have a backup, but I only pull from my built in right now. Also they just went haywire again. I can't figure it out. I also have trouble with connecting to the daz connect.

    Can you go to Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager, expand the DS-format and Poser-format sections, and post a screenshot?

    If you look at the folder structure outside of DS, are there any other folders under "/Users/Documents/DAZ 3D/Studio/" besides "content"?

    There's a long standing issue on Macs, it has to do with the way Apple handles network/external drives that causes similar problems (what you see appears to be the same drive, but if the connection to it is interupted, internally it gets renamed and that causes Studio to lose the content, until things are restarted).
