How to copy i.e. material presets from one to another pc

If I copy/paste it from the 'saved files' folder of my old pc into the other pc's 'saved files' folder, that is already present in Daz Studio Smart Content and the Content Library, it doesn't show up on the new pc. So how to tell Daz Studio to show all the new (copied) material presets from my old pc that is definitely in the specified folder?

If you want it to show in Smart Content, or in Categories in the Content Library pane, you need to export the metadata from the old machine and import it on the new (or just copy the database across). The files should be acessible through the Daz Studio Formats tree in the Content Library pane, and you could categorise them afresh from there (right-click menu).
To export and import user data you need to use the Content DB Maintenance dialogue, luanched from the Content Library option menu (the line button in the corner, or right-click the tab). Check Export User data on the old machine, then copy the \Runtime\Support\UserData_#.dsx file(s) from your content directory across to the matching location on the new machine and then use Import Metadata from the Content DB Maintenance dilogue on that machine - the user data optiosn should be the first line or lines of the dialogue that opens after clicking Accept.
Ok, I exported the User Data from the Content db maintenance dialogue, but there was no dialogue where to save this. It was exported immidiately. Where can I find the exported data, which file path?
That's the \Runtime\Support\UserData_#.dsx file.
