New install of DIM on new computer....not seeing already installed content

New computer. 

Just installed DIM. 

Have set up file paths. 

ALL my content is installed on an external drive called F. 

The DS program itself was installed into C drive. 

DIM is not showing my already installed content, which is on the F drive. 

I searched the default lights and shaders and installed them via DIM - they installed correctly to my external F drive. But nothing else on my external drive is showing as installed in DIM.

What am i missing?

    DIM tracks installs in C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\ManifestFiles so you'll need to copy that directory. You may also want to grab the Thumbnails directry as well.

    You'll need the entire folder (ManifestFiles) - there's a separate .dsx manifest for each installed product in it.
