I re-installed everything through Connect and the missing ones in DIM, and running into some weird issues. 
I loaded my saved scene, and was missing a lot of objects. 

In the 1st image where it's missing all the files..    They are there,  cause when i load it as new,  i can load them all.

Any thoughts?

    To which folder did you save the scene? Was it in a content directory?

    I had saved the scene in the default directory that Daz is coming up with. (On the C Drive)

    Since I did re-install.   I have all my libraries now on my E:\  Drive

    instead of the C:\users\xxx\documents

    and

    c:\users\public\ xxxxxx

    Is the save directory still set as a content diectory? Does it appear in the Content Library pane under Daz Studio Formats?

    Here is a screenshot,  Maybe it helps..  

    Maybe I need to change the Poser folder?   Looks like I forgot that.. but that's really for poser

     

    some scenes are fine looks like it.. but this Sandy beach one is causing issues for sure

    seems like it's looking for

    data/auto_adapted/3dutvapartmentgroup3_1882/geometry_c7029903_d364_2e6c_9b13_8643004f5187/geometry.dsf

    etc..  and I don't have that folder..   I know i've seen that folder in the past..  before i re-installed everything.
    and I just deleted the old stuff :(

    I don't know what that auto_adapted came from..  I remember seeing a lot of folders in that one

    ok got the files back :)

    i loaded the original scene and saved it,   and that created all the missing files.

    After that i was able to load my work again

    pjeww

    All the items in native DAZ|Studio file format that you buy from the store have files in the /data/ folder. If you load Poser-format items into your scene then save it, the converted files are saved into an auto_adapted folder in the /data/ folder. When you "deleted the old stuff" you lost the ability to load scenes containing those converted items; recreating the files lets you open the scene again.

    Correct.  that's what i figured out in your post above :)
    Thanks for responding,    Had never tried just saving it,  and that's when the magic happened..
