Hi all I've been away from DAZ for some time due to limited computer space and a hard drive failure. Now I'm finally setting up a new computer with a lot more ram and a lot more hard drive. I've copied all my files and libraries onto an identical location (P:\DAZ\) on the much larger new hard drives. I've managed to install a new copy of DIM, and a new copy of DAZ Studio, but all of the DAZ assets I had installed via DIM previously do not show in DIM as installed. Is there some way to make the new install of DIM recognize all the assets that had previously been installed on the old Computer's P:\ drive and copied to the new one (several thousand assets obtained over the last decade and more)? I'd hate to have to just delete all the installed assets and let DIM install them all over again. Is there any current tutorial on how to do this? Do I have to root some file out of my archived copy of my old C:|. . . User file and copy it over onto new C:\ drive? I have limited time to deal with this and hope there are shortcuts I can use. . .
