Re-install of DAZ content library question

tyra_oeildeloup

Hello

So I deleted the content of my DAZ library folder to manually replace it with a save that I had made of a previous install, but despite updating metadata, DIM won't recognize the stuff I have installed (it only shows DAZ studio software and that PostGreSQL thing. Is it normal and is there a way to update it so it sees what I have installed as DAZ content ?

When DIM installs something it creates a "manifest" file, stored in its "Manifest Archive" folder, which records "this was installed there on that date". That's what tells it what was installed, not the files in your content library or metadata.

If the Manifest Archive was cleared it's normal that DIM doesn't see anything as installed.

If you have a backup of that folder you could restore it, and then DIM would see whatever has a manifest file there as installed.

Thanks for your help, unfortunately I don't think I have that anymore. I'll do a clean re-install when my monthly data is renewed.
