DAZStudio - Tipps & Tricks
  1. Move directories / files that cannot be moved after all

    Problem:


    If a hard disk like C: becomes too small, you look for the causes and start deleting superfluous things.
    When that is no longer possible, one tries to outsource things.
    Here I noticed the directory C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\cms, which takes up a lot of space on my hard drive.
    Currently about 9 GB. I asked the DAZ support whether the directory could be put on another hard disk, but they denied my request.

    Solution:


    Then I came across the Windows/DOS program mklink.
    Anyone who knows what symlinks are under Unix will immediately recognize what this tool does.

    With mklink you can move a directory to another disk and make Windows think it's still there.
    It even shows up there, but the directory now has a little arrow showing it's just a link, not a directory anymore.

    Proceed:
    1. We move our directory C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\cms to the new directory F:\daz_cms
    2. The folder C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\cms no longer exists because it has been moved.
    3. Now let's create a hard link in C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\cms pointing to the directory F:\daz_cms.
    4. We type the following command in the command prompt:
    mklink /J "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\cms" F:\daz_cms

    Info: Puts quotation marks around the storage paths if there are spaces in the paths, i.e.: mklink /J "C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\DAZ 3D\cms" "F:\daz_cms"
