Missing Items in Smart Content

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

For quite a while I have used Daz's install manager to install my items. I have... alot. Going through them to find each and every one of them is... rather a large task. So I'll start with just one and hope to apply the same techniques to handle this situation for all of the others.

https://www.daz3d.com/gothika-cabinet

This is the item that I have. It's a very pretty one. And for a long while I forgot that I even had it because it did not show up in the smart content page. Turns out. ALOT of my stuff isn't showing up there. I can locate it on my computer in a wierd folder. [ My Daz 3D Library ]. I don't recall it ever having been in there before. But it is. If that's the right folder for it, that's great! Wonderful! If not, maybe i need to know where to move it all. [ All of the content is in there. So it very well may be in there  too. ]

Inside the folder I downloaded with gothika there are the following files. A Cr2 file for each item and a png. But there is nothing else. [ Beyond the other files and their cr2's and pngs. ]

I've read a bit about meta data being how daz finds it. But i'm not sure if that's true.

To Note: I have all updates installed that daz can find for all products that I have. The client itself is updated as well.

 

Any help would be just wonderful. If this isn't in the right place. Please point me to the correct forum!

    Gothica Cabinet is an older product and according to DIM has no metadata so will not show in Smart Content.  If there is no check mark on the Installed pane of DIM for a product it does not have Smart Content metadata.

    Is there any way to MAKE metadata for it?

    There is but it is easier just to use Studio's Categories function.

    Just right-click on the folder (which will be in Poser Formats>My Daz 3D Library>Figures>some folder for the CR2 files, other files may be in other Poser libraries) and select Categorise, then assign a category.
