rebuild the meta database?

Is there a command to make DAZ Studio 4.8 re-read all the meta data for content, and thus rebuild its smart content feature?

Backstory: I told DAZ to install on my E: drive, but it stored my content on my C: drive. So, my C: drive filled up quickly (small SSD). I was kind of frustrated that DAZ didn't put the content on the same drive as I told it to install to (I now know what settings to change on DAZ IM). So, now I uinstalled/reinstalled using DAZ IM (about 3 times total, for various reasons, including an HDD demise), and all the content is now on the drive I want. But, no meta data seems to have been installed, so the smart content doesn't work. It also seems that even just searching the files doesn't work anymore.

I'm hoping it's just a "right-click on blah, and select blah-blah" sort of solution, but I'd like to think I can handle a more complicated solution if need be.

You should try to re-import your meta data and see if that is the issue. If not check you task manager on the process tab and see if you have content management service running. To re-import your meta data in DIM, go to the installed tab, select everything, right click and select re-import meta data. Call you post a screen shot of your applications tab and downloads tab so we can see if anything is amiss.

Thanks! That was the right-click thing I was hoping for!

It didn't look like it worked the first time, so I re-installed the PostresSQL, then tried again. Now all the metadata is where I expect it to be, and the meta data search is working (file search not working, but I don't use it much anyway).
