Moving Daz Connect Library location

johnbuckeridge

Good morning all from the UK.  Quick question: for storage reasons I spent nearly two days moving my Daz Connect Library from my internal D: Drive to an external drive with much larger capacity. (Well, there was a LOT to shift.) However, as soon as I started to re-install assets I hadn’t had room for before, via Daz Connect, they just created a new Daz Connect Library for themselves right back on the old D: Drive location.

Not, in itself, the most calamitous of problems, but annoying: my PC smugly informs me this time it’s going to take 10 hours. 

This is going to keep happening whenever I buy and install new products.  Would anybody know a way I can stop the system from defaulting to D: Drive and nudge things to my external drive instead?  I’m sure there’ll be a workaround for this.

Since you created a new Daz Connect folder on another bigger disk, have you re-configured Daz Connect path in Content Directory Manager from "old D: drive" to the new folder... and migrated all products ?

Ah, that's interesting - I considered doing exactly that, but when I saw that everything I'd moved over was still available I didn't bother.    I’ll give that a try next.

Connect installs will be found if they are in a regular Daz Studio format content directory, but they will be written to the one currently set (in fact if you do change the setting DS will ask if you want to make the old location a regular content directory so that its files wil still be found).

Thank you, Richard.  I may just leave things as they are, then.  Once this massive migration is finished, I don’t mind moving bits and bobs over piecemeal.
