A *MOVED* installation cannot find my old furniture libraryLong story short: My computer had a hardware issue that meant my old hard drive (on which Sweet Home was installed) had to be moved from the C: drive [master] to the D: drive [slave].
All of my files were copied to the new C: drive. The entire Sweet Home directory was copied to the exact same directory path on the new C: drive.
Sweet Home works. I can still run the program, from either drive. The problem is this: All of my furniture is gone. I had hundreds of models downloaded and installed to the Sweet Home library. All of those models, and the headings I created to group them in, are now gone. I have nothing but the bare-bones, default furniture library.
1) Re-installing everything from the zipped files I originally downloaded is not an option. I deleted those files once I had them "safely" installed into the Sweet Home library. I also can't recover them from the Recycle Bin, because that only contains the files deleted after the old C: drive became the D: drive.
2) Downloading the models again is not an option. Even if I had a list of what all is missing, being able to find everything all over again would still be very unlikely.
3) The third-best option is to find out what (else) needs to be done, and/or moved, to direct Sweet Home to the old furniture library, or to put the old furniture library where the program expects it to be.
4) I am already working on the 4th-best option, getting a computer store to cobble together some old parts that can use my old hard drive as the C: drive, the primary boot device. I can only hope that this will make Sweet Home see my old furniture directory again.
Even if Option 4 works, is there any hope for Option 3? Granted, this shouldn't be an issue for many users, but even if this post helps just ONE other person, that's still a benefit to the public. To anyone reading this, I thank you for your time & attention.
