Please forgive me if I'm in the wrong place, but I searched and could not seem to find content relating to this subject.
I was running Poser 7 on a Windows 10 computer for six years. When I copied my old P7 Runtime to the new W10 computer, I lost ALL of my self-created content (poses, hand poses, body morphs, face morphs, and complete characters). I don't know why that content didn't transfer when everything else did.
I just got a new Windows 11 computer, and installed Poser 11. I copied my P7 Runtime to an external drive, and added that as an external library in Poser 11. Once again, all of my self-created content is missing.
What am I doing wrong? Why won't my content transfer? I created my content within the same libraries as Poser 7. In the Figure/Character file, I created a file folder called "My Characters" and saved them there. My FOLDER transferred, but my characters didn't!!! "My Faces" were under the Expression tab. The FOLDER transferred, but not the morph files I'd created. "My Bodies" were under the Pose Tab. The FOLDER transferred, but not the morph pose files. I had saved dozens of hand poses within the DAZ M4 hand folder. That folder transferred, as did the ORIGINAL DAZ M4 hand poses, but not my custom hand poses. I had created dozens of custom poses in a folder called "My Poses" in the Pose folder. The folder transferred, but not the poses! I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!
I did not install my old Runtime into the Poser 11 Runtime, I added it as an external library, and I can load everything from there like I could from Poser 7, except for my own original content.
The original Runtime for Poser 7 is still in the old computer, intact. Is there a way for me to extract my content???
