Character recognition issue
Hello all,
I have a rather annoying problem I'm dealing with, and I can't seem to solve it, so let's see if anyone can help.
Here's the issue; I have been working on a scene for a pretty long time, and have not had any problems. I'm working with some DAZ Dinosaurs, the Ceratosaurus, the stegosaurus, and the Monolophosuarus. Now, I have this scene set up and have not had any issues with it until now. I had to uninstall and reinstall DAZ to get genesis to start working again(which was horribly annoying) for a different scene I had to finish, and now when I re-open my Dinosaur scene, my dinosaurs are gray blocks which resemble a dinosaur form. I re-linked the Ceratosaurs and its textures came in just fine, looks just like it did before, BUT, no matter what I do, I cannot get the monolophosaurs or the stegosaurus to re-link. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling their respective files and that's when I got REALLY upset. It would appear that while DAZ cannot locate the textures for stego and mono, I can somehow import a new monolophosaurus and stegosaurus and they come in with no issues, even when I bring them into the same scene, DAZ still cannot find the textures for the old dinosaurs, despite the fact they are the same.
I am linking some screenshots to this. If you look at the shot which presents the error message I get when I open the scene, you'll see the file it cannot find. Well, I found the file, and I directly linked it, its sub-folders, and every folder that seemed like it pertained to the missing files, and STILL, no luck.
I know exactly where my download and install directory(s) is/are(I have two places, which I don't think is a problem since I know how to link them, but maybe I'm wrong?) and no matter what I do, or what I link, DAZ just utterly refuses to find the missing files.
I am at my wits end, does anyone have a solution to this?
-Also, I do not have animate2, so copying and pasting the key-frames from my old Monolophosaurus to a new one is not an option, or I would've done that and not posted this.
Any help is MUCH appreciated,
Thanks!

So the files and folders in the Data folder are there on your system, with the Data folder that holds them in one of your listed content directories? If you've added folders inside those folders to the list of content directories remove them, it's possible that that's what is confusing DS - the only folder selected in that tree should be the one that holds the Data folder.
