Any idea where Content Directory Management files are kept?

My guess is that it would be some kind of xml list of file paths.

Does anyone know where it can be found and what it is called?

 

TIA

You mean the list of content folders?  I think DS keeps it in the registry in Windows.  DIM has an .ini file and there's a sample script on the wiki to export the DS list to DIM.

Thats magic! It did what I wanted.

Just to confirm, are these what you were referring to?

The DIM .ini file:

C:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\UserAccounts\Account.ini

export and import scripts (respectivly):

Background FYI: The way I've organised my poser content lead me to Add a Runtime Directory for each asset - with loads of stuff, this became a laborious task not to be repeated.

DAZ 4.9 didnt pick-up on my Content Directory Management structure (from 4.8), I couldnt find a save/load, and I didnt want to go through adding all my poser directories again.

Anyway, ran the export from 4.8, then import from 4.9 - AFAIK it seems to have done the job

 

thanks

Yep, that's it, glad it got the job done.
