Well I mentioned this a while back in a thread here. Wanted so badlly to set up a new My Library from scratch and.... SO it's done!  I recently bought a gaming laptop (a couple of weeks back now) from Amazon (they allowed me to make payments so I could go ahead and do that)! 

It's powerful enough to run my content creation apps like ZBrush and Photoshop and others as well as run DAZ Studio and rather than just copying my current (filled with old content I never use) Content Library over to a portable drive, I decided, using DIM, to download all the stuff I wanted/needed.  I also went over to Hivewire and got all those bits and pieces I needed too.  So now I have a shiny new My Library with all the environments, lighting, shaders and best of all just the figures I'm working with like Genesis 8 and some Genesis 3. 

The older My Library will be backed up on a new extra portable I had laying around (I actually forgot I bought it and had packed it away and ran across it, luckily it wasn't that long ago as it's got USB 3 on it).  So I'll move the older My Library over to that, label the HD for safe keeping and then copy my new "My Library" over from the portable drive I have it copied over to. 

So glad it's almost done.  Allot of my 'Rosity purchases DID NOT made it over to the new set up but if I ever need anything from there I can always download it if the need arises.  The entire setup, right now, is under 450 gig's.  My current is about a terrabyte. Quite a differenence.

    *sigh* I reorged my content libraries 2-3 years ago and it made a big improvemnet. But I need to do it again now. That round was mostly wrangling the Poser content into a more organized system. Now I need to do it for the Studio stuff. 

    Studio is nowhere near as bad at scattering your content trough half a dozen different libraries. But it does seem to arbitrarily split things into props or environments.

    Of couse my latest round (not quite complete yet) was discovering that I needed to set up a different computer in a closet to be able to still get at a load of graphics content which is only accessible through a legacy program which, surprise!, won't run on a current MacOS. 

    It's never fun.

    That's not software, that's the decisions of the maker, or possibly QA for categories. Sometimes it is hard to know the ebst place to put things.

    Yes, that's certainly true. The program doesn't care which of those folders the thumbnails are in.

    Yea, if your not a Smart Content user then just move things to where they make more sense to you!  :-)
