Where's my content?

edited September 10 in Daz Studio Discussion

I was curious, so I installed DAZ Studio from scratch on a new system partition. Everything went well since I followed a set of install instructions I had made a while ago. 

The only thing I did differently was to let it install in the default location (which was on my boot drive). I then went into DAZ and directed it to my big content folder (which is on an external hard drive) and then deleted the link to the one on my boot drive.

Problem is - All of my content shows up in the Content Library's Products tab for DAZ and Poser, and the Categories’s> Default shows 50+ categories - which is great. BUT only a bare bones set of items shows up in the Smart Content tab.

When I click on the Figures category, only the figures found in the Genesis 9 Starter Essentials shows up. One or two hair product show up, and only 4 items shows up in the props (the starter essentials being one of them).

It is almost as if it is showing only the default items which were installed on my Boot drive. I even deleted that default content folder to see what would happen. No change.

Clicking the: “Filter by Context” off changed nothing. Clicking on the: “All”, "Installed”, and “Available” tabs changed nothing.

Why wont my content show up in the Smart content tab? What am I missing?

    If you go into DIM advanced settings > Installation, what path does DIM install to?

    And try to make a screenshot and attach of Daz Studio > Edit > Preferences > Content > Content Directory Manager with Daz Studio and Poser formats expanded.

    Thanks for replying,

    Here are the two screenshots that you requested - they both seem to point to the same location. 

    BTW: I inverted the colors on one of the screenshots to make it easier to read. 

    Reminder: I have DAZ Studio installed on two different boot partitions. The one that was made a long time ago works just fine - all of the content shows up, but only a handful of content shows up in this new (installed from scratch) one.

    I compared both DAZ Studio’s and DAZ Install Manager’s preferences line-by line for both boot partitions. They are exactly the same. So I don’t understand why one works but the other doesn’t. I must be missing something.
