Having problems with Smart Content etc after moving content to new secondary drive

HorusRa

For a few weeks now Topher (tech support at Daz) has been helping me set my content up on a new drive I bought as my main drive was getiing full.
After I finished the steps he outlined, I noticed today that my Smart Content is essentially broken for the most part. Somethings that do seem to work is stuff I've bought from the pa festival that was installed after  everything was tranfered to the new drive. What Topher had me do was set DIM up first for the new drive. Second he had me change the Content directory & path in the Content Manager under Preferences in Studio. Since then my content seems to be kind of messed up, especially Smart Content which I have success using about half the time, so it is important to me to have the ability to use it.
I have a lot of triangles with a Exclamation point in it on the bottom of most thumbnails of the content. Its also oddly enough, hard to find Vic4 now, and a lot of my characters are missing and has the triangle exclamation point icon over the thumb nails. BTW, all content was copied over properly to the new drive, I checked the number of files and the total size to make sure nothing was skipped. I have no idea what has caused this and dealing with Daz tech support is just slow. Anyone had this problem with all this. Help greatly appreciated. btw, yes, DIM and Studio points to my new drive.

One option is to find one of the problem items in the Products list in the Content Library, right-click on it, and select Database>Edit Base Paths. In the dialogue for Change select All Files using this base path and for Change To select your new content directory, then click Accept.
