DIM and DS not going where I send it [solved]

Just built a new computer , so installing everything

I wanted it same way I had before, but this time in drive E, not in  C:

DIM keeps sending everything into C drive, even after I changed it to E

also I save my scenes in a new folder I created, but yet it won't let me save there

would've been nice to have it set up like I did  in 4.6, it was so much more simpler in 4.6, if 4.7 & 4.8 was or is any way how 4.9 is, what a new pain for me to relearn, when I shouldn't need too. I don't get changes are  just for change and not in any way a improvement

I'm doing what I can here to remain calm typing this

 

All I know (now) what you have done after 4.6, has made things worse

 

I'm sure I'm am missing seeing something, and more likely a simple fix

    The only thing tht's different since 4.6 is tht the Daz Connect Library has been added.  Can you post screenshots of  your Content Directory Manager in DS with DD and Poser formats expanded, and your settings > installation tab from DIM?

    Can you go to Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager, expand the different formats and post a screenshot?

    Okay, so DS is still looking at the C: drive, so you'll need to change those to look at E:.

    If you can post the Settings > Installation tab from DIM we can see where it's installing stuff.

    I tried changing it to E, but  well you'll see

    Those are the paths for installing software. For content, click the + sign in the lower left to add a new path.  After adding the path, click the pulldown next to "Current:" to switch to your new path.
