Hi guys, How is the best way to handle backing up the Dash Content Library (Computed/Tagged Assets
Hi guys,
How is the best way to handle backing up the Dash Content Library (Computed/Tagged Assets)?
I have to install a new SSD as my main Windows drive, so I will re-install Unreal and Dash in this new Windows instalation in this new SSD.
I don't want to lose the Library Assets that are already Computed/Tagged (and some manually tagged by me afterwards) because we now have the Tag Limits and I've already computed a lot of assets.
The Dash Content Library Folder (Library Path) is in my secondary Drive (D:).
So, if:
- I install new Windows in new SSD
- Re-install Unreal and Dash in the new Windows
- Put the Dash Content Library Path in this new Dash installation for my already computed Library Folder in D: (that will remain unchanged)
That will work? Is the better process to achieve this backup behavior?
P.S.: The Unreal project itself will be the same, but the project itself I will restore from Git.

Hey! Soo, you have two options for using Path Scatter, or Surface scatter for that matter.
1. Select your curve, select one or several assets from the Dash content library and drag them in while holding CTRL, then select scatter on selection, that will create a path Scatter for you. This options also places the original assets in the world, but they are default hidden. Right now we need to do this, even though it is a little bit wasteful yes, we are looking into solving it though💪
2. You search for Path Scatter in Dash, open it up and then assign curve and objects that exists inside the world already.
So no difference performance wise right now, it is more of a workflow option. And as you say, deleting the curve, or the original objects in the scene, will break the tool connection yes 😦

Afaik the limit has always been 5.0 and not 1.0, so that's strange, but maybe it was 1.0 in one build. Regardless, we have just added back the ability to manually write higher values than the default limit, so you should be getting that ability in the next Beta version! 🙂 Can you check in the main dash menu what RC version you have?
