I accidentlay renamed the folder that help all me additional, downloaded content for Poser. I didn't realize it, until weeks later, when I opened Poser and saw that none of my content folder where listed in the library.  I don't remember what I had had originally named that folder.

What is the easiest way to relink this folder back to Poser? I tried creating new folders in Poser, naming them like the ones that are in  my (accidentaly) renamed, additional content folder, and adding the runtime folder one by one back. This seems really tedious and I was hopeing for a faster way.

Is there a way?

Thanks for any help.

Unfortuately the Poser Library deletes runtimes it can't find.

If you have a backup somewhere of your Poser files (perhaps from an upgrade or Service Release install) you can look in the LibraryPrefs.xml to see the what the original path was.  Once you rename the folder you can copy over that LibraryPrefs.xml.  On finding it, I don't know if you have OS X or Windows; In Windows it's in your User folder under AppDataRoamingPoserX or App DataRoamingPoser ProX where X=8, 9, or 10 ; You will need to have Windows Eplorer set to see hidden files and directories to find it, as AppData is a hidden folder...

Thanks!

I found the original file on my Daz Install Manager and just copied it over!
