How to keep the local library when reinstalling D5?

Local assets, custom IES, LUT, HDR and other project temporary files are stored in the workspace folder of the software's installation directory by default.

1. If you override the installation, the original directory will be automatically retained without additional settings. It takes a short time to check if the file has been downloaded when using the asset, and once it has been downloaded, there is no need to re-download it.

2. If you are uninstalling and then reinstalling:

   [Versions earlier than 2.11]: Reassign the storage location in Menu > Preferences > Assets Storage > Select Location, then restart D5 Render.

   [Versions 2.11 and later]: In D5 Launcher, go to Setting > Workspace, select the new location, and restart D5 Render.
