DIM installing two copies of content

Riggswolfe

I just noticed this tonight. It is creating two identical "My Daz 3d Library" install areas. One is in the public documents, the other is in my own documents. I just checked in 4.6 and I don't have my content set to look at the one in my documents, only the one in public documents. I can't find a setting in DIM that is causing this but clearly there is one.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I am mainly worried about HD space as I have something like 3300 items installed by DIM!

Two copies, I'm not sure about, but DIM's default install directory is the one in My Docs iirc. Open DIM and click the gear icon in the upper right, then check the Installation tab. That's a list of the content directories DIM can install to.

For maximum control over what goes where, uncheck Install After Download at the bottom of the Ready to Download tab, and check Show Details at the bottom of the Ready to Install tab. This will give you a drop down to select your preferred library for what you're installing.

I've figured it out. Basically when I go to documents from the library link in Windows 7 it is now showing both 'my' documents as well as public documents. It never did that before but I did change some sharing options the other day to stream pictures to my PS3 so I could look at Daz renders on my tv. That must be when it changed.I think I'll remove it because it is cluttering up my documents view!

That's an easy fix. Right click on the Documents heading under Libraries in Windows Explorer and go to Properties. From there you can add/remove folders to show in that library. The same goes for all of the Windows libraries (you can even right click the main Libraries header and add a new library).
