New question when I go to the database folder what should be in it?? I tried following Adam’s thingy and it didn’t do anything ....I think I’m fubar ......
Oh and where will userdata export to ?

There should be 5 files in the database folder, 4 starting with ContentDB and one Master.vdb

Userdata exports to Runtime:Support

After you’ve done whatever you can from Adam’s tutorial, I would suggest uninstalling CMS and then reinstalling DS.  When it asks about customizing the CMS installation say yes, and choose a different folder to install the CMS to.  If you were able to export Userdata, choose a different location for the databases, too; otherwise try keeping the same databases.

Well I did the uninstall of CMS and Studio ,had to do the import to get catagories back but for the moment it seems to be working

Oh and since you are here and answering questions umm I have 3 icons for Genesis ,2 are DSF and 1 is a DUF ,so the question is which one is the one I should have ......and could that be causeing the duplicate IDs??

The .DUF is the newer version—it’s possible one of the other versions is the problem.  Can you go to Edit > Preferences > Content Library > Content Directory Manager, expand the DS and Poser formats, and post a screenshot?  Don’t delete the genesis.dsf files until we’ve made sure you aren’t seeing the Data folder entry, which is supposed to be .dsf.

Here’s the screen shot ........

That looks fine—not sure where the 2nd Genesis.dsf is located, but the .duf is the only one you need.

That looks fine—not sure where the 2nd Genesis.dsf is located, but the .duf is the only one you need.

If the old content did not get uninstalled, then the Genesis.dsf is at People>Genesis on wherever your default genesis runtime is.  It’ll be right beside the Genesis.duf.

So I can delete the DSF out??

And of course while poking around I found another question for either Mike or Adam ........ummm can either of you make sense of this or make it make sense to me??

and this is the other look

My guess is that it’s in two places so that people can use the updated Genesis Starter Essentials even if they’re still using DS 4.5.0.114—just a WAG, but they ARE both in the GSE 1.6, so it’s not just a question of not uninstalling the older version.

And yes, you can delete the Genesis.dsf that’s in the same folder as the Genesis.duf

Thank you Mike ....... I have to say it’s very nice to have people like you and Adam to yell for help to ......thanks bunches

Well I’m back again with another problem…..... once again I loaded a genesis figure ,put on the clothes ,hair ,morphed her to 50% Sadie,some Jasmin and some basic child .........then trying to adjust the camera,blink ....blink the studio literally blinks and the Universal manipulator is suddenly acting like the Universal pose control .....which is crazy enough but I go to edit and hit undo translate and the figure returns to the T pose ......
at that point I decieded to change her hair out so I go to the catagories   and they are empty again ......so I check in the My Library Folder ......it is also empty,the folders are there just nothing in them   again. Now this ain’t normal.
I have already deleted the CMS,and Studio,closed the computer, restarted the computer ,had to do a migrate catagories ,and everything seemed to be happy ....until I loaded a new Genesis ..........and the same thing happened again ........BUT the only thing that was happening that isn’t now ,so far CMS hasn’t shut down or quit working (yet).
Any thoughts on what I can try next or should I just resign myself to have to either keep remigrating my catagories ,or give up on haveing catagories ......
