Are these libraries defined through the Install Manager?
They need to be listed in the Install Manger library path list.
If they are not listed in Install Manager, then you need to scan the libraries not native to Daz Studio with the Import External Scanner.
Daz Libraries = Compartment Tabs
Non Daz Libraries = Import External
If you are still having issues I will help troubleshoot the problem further for you.
Quick question to help me narrow this down — when you launch EZFinder, the splash screen shows a version number in gold text
at the bottom-left corner (something like "v1.0.x"). Could you let me know what version it says?
The splash screen doesn't stay up long enough to get the version - but the main panel title bar is EZFinder - Advanced Content Management v 1.0.3
All the paths are defined in DIM and Studio -
[InstallPaths]
size=5
1\InstallPathTitle=gen5
1\InstallPath=D:/S4stuff/gen5
2\InstallPathTitle=tutorials
2\InstallPath=E:/tutorials
3\InstallPathTitle=mydata
3\InstallPath=D:/mydata
4\InstallPathTitle=shaders + Billboards + HDRI
4\InstallPath=G:/shaders
5\InstallPathTitle=HDRI
5\InstallPath=G:/HDRI
The only path that gets examined is D:/S4stuff/gen5
Quick workaround you can use right now, namffuak, while I work on the proper fix:
EZFinder validates each DIM-listed path by looking for at least one canonical DAZ folder at the root — data, Runtime,
People, Environments, Props, Presets, Light Presets, Render Presets, or Camera Presets. Your D:/S4stuff/gen5 library has
those folders (that's why it works); your other four don't, so they get filtered out before EZFinder even tries to scan
them.
The fix on your end is one folder per library — create an empty folder named data at the root of each:
- E:/tutorials/data (empty folder, just create it)
- D:/mydata/data
- G:/shaders/data
- G:/HDRI/data
It's just a marker — EZFinder only checks if it exists, nothing has to be inside. After you create them, restart EZFinder
and all five libraries will appear as compartments. Run Scan to File on each (or pick "Full Library Scan" from the picker
that'll now appear) and your full content will be searchable.
Once the next update ships with the proper fix (treating any DIM-listed path as a library), you can delete those empty data
folders if you want — they won't be needed anymore.
Let me know if this gets you all five libraries showing up!

EZFinder has been fixed to not search for these library folders before install or scan. You will see this change in the next EZFinder update once released via DIM, once the new update is installed, then you can remove the "empty" data folder markers that you created as a workaround.
That's not it - they all have non-empty data folders with DIM installed content.
I am working on it, digging deeper to find the issue. I really appreciate that you have given me an alert on this issue, thanks!
I will be back soon, hopefully with a solution.
I've traced this. Account.ini's location is hardcoded by DIM at %AppData%\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\UserAccounts\Account.ini —
so it must be there if your DIM works. The bug must be that EZFinder can't access your .ini from where it's launching.
1. Are you on Windows or Mac (CrossOver/Wine)?
If on Windows,
2. Are you running EZFinder normally, or as Administrator? If running normally try, "Run as Admin".
If it still does not see it.
3. Does your antivirus or Windows Defender's "Controlled Folder Access" feature treat EZFinder as untrusted? Try adding EZFinder.exe to your AV's exception list and your Defender allowed-apps list, then relaunch. If your library count jumps from 1 to 6, that's the obstruction.
If you're on Windows running normally with no AV restrictions, please open File Explorer, paste this into the address bar %AppData%\DAZ 3D\InstallManager\UserAccounts — and confirm Account.ini is sitting there. EZFinder not having access to your .ini file is the only explanation for this anomaly.
Let me know if you get it working!
Bingo! I'm not sure why/how - but in Settings\AppSettings.ini I have two lines:
[General]
CurrentUser=namffuak
and in UserAccounts I have namffuak.ini - not Account.ini
I copied namffuak.ini to Account.ini and it now finds the libraries.
ETA - I've been using DIM since the day it was released.
I am thrilled it is fixed!!! Thanks for the insight I will be patching EZFinder for your exact case so it does not happen. Enjoy the scans!
I am adding video tutorials, PDFs etc to the next update so they can be organized in EZFinder too (at least that is the plan).
For what it is worth, I don't have Account.ini either. I have myname.ini and no, I haven't tried EZFinder yet.
And is that referenced in the AppSettings.ini? Just curious.
Yes. The myname.ini is backed up, so whenever I do a clean install, I drop it into UserAccounts.
I just added multi-account merging so EZFinder locates and allows you to scan all your account libraries if you wish. (Coming in the next update)
I just checked - when DIM is launched the Logon panel appears. There is a popup text message that displays if you mouse over the Account field "Click here to change accounts, or add a new one". Apparently I did this some time back in the past, because that's the sort of thing I do.
Well, this was new to me and now EZFinder can accommodate people who have multiple accounts for whatever reasons that be (at least I hope the new feature works).
I can't really test it, I do have two accounts but one I have not signed into in years. I will wait and if users inquire about their accounts not working, I will cross that bridge then. Happy scanning namffuak and thanks for your patience!
