Question about DIM after migrating the Daz Library (custom location) to a new drive

Jumbotron

Hello,

I've successfully copied all of the content of my previous library, which I had in a custom folder of my C: drive, to a similar folder of my new drive (F:). I've also modified the content directories inside Daz Studio after that without any issues.

Now I am working with the Install Manager, where I've already set the advanced options so that the application starts installing the new content on my new custom Library from now on. That's been set up, at least. However, the application still sees all of my previously installed products as installed on my older drive, which it's not ideal because if I choose to uninstall one product, it would get removed from my old drive and not the new, which it's not what I want, obviously. I want the Install Manager to treat my new custom library on the new drive as my Daz Library to all effects. Is there a way to achieve this other than uninstalling all of my currently installed products (almost 4,000) and then start installing them again? There are no .ZIP files in DIM's download folder by the way. I make the application remove the packages after the installation.

If you had had the zips you could simply have used the reinstall using current paths option in the right-click menu in the Installed tab. Without, all I can really suggest is making a copy of the manifests folder and then using a text editor with batch ability to search and replace the old path with the new.
