Database issue?

Suddenly a lot of my products are acting like they aren't there. They are but the database seems to have "lost them."

Whereas most products are in C:\Users\Public\Documents\My DAZ 3D Library\

These 'missing' products shows as

C:\Program Files\Daz Studio\DazStudio4\

I tried to reimport the metadata but that didn't fix it. Do I need to delete my content database and have Daz rebuild it?

    What is indicating that location?

    When I mouse over the file the tooltip shows that as the location. I looked at one of the files and it is indeed in the public documents as it should be, my Daz install is just...confused.

    What locations are listed in Content Directory Manager?

    And are you mousing over them in "Content Library > DAZ Studio Formats"/"Content Library > Poser Formats", or in Smart Content/Products/Categories?

    I moused over them in content library->products

    When I mouse over one of them in smart content, I don't get any popups but copying the info from the bottom panel shows this:


    File :
    BWC - Michael 6 Gun Pose - 02.duf
    Path :
    Poses/BWC - Michael 6 Gun Poses/BWC - Michael 6 Gun Pose - 02.duf
    Created :

    Modified :

    Size :
    0 bytes

    This is one of the poses having an issue. It looks to be mostly poses and happened today after installing the Dragon stuff along with some clothing I grabbed with my nifty "milestone coupon." There were some updates as well, including one for Daz.

    After looking closer it appears to be M6 poses. All of them I checked. I looked at V6 and found no issues with any of her poses. Same with M5. As far as the content directory manager it is:

    C:/users//Documents/Daz 3d/Studio3/content ((I categorize some older items in Daz 3, particularly from 3rd party sites like Rendorosity))
    C:users//Documents/Daz 3d/Studio4/Reality-Add-Ons
    c:/users/Public/Documents/My Daz 3d Library
    c:/users//Documents/Daz 3d/Studio/My Library ((I keep this around for Gen 2 and Gen stuff in Duf format from non-Daz 3d sources.))

    Do you need poser formats or other import formats?

    Ok.

    If I go under content library to daz studio formats->My Daz Studio Library, the poses are there.

    They are not there in smart content or under products in the content library. I get a Yellow exclamation and double clicking them says the file isn't found. It sounds like a metadata issue but reimporting metadata doesn't fix it.

    Are you using the new PostgreSQL CMS or the old Valentina CMS?

    I honestly don't know. I have the latest version of Daz 4.6. I did manage to fix it last night with a relatively drastic step. First, going to programdata/Daz 3d/cms and deleting the index did nothing as did finally just deleting the databases. (which I guess maybe means I'm on the new one and it stores the database somewhere else?).

    So I went into Daz and reset the database then reimported all metadata. As of this morning all the m6 poses I've checked are back.
