I catalogue by month. So every month I start a new folder on my harddisk. In it I have a standard folder tree for Poser files - Clothing, Poses, Props etc. For each new freebie or commercial item I create a subfolder in the right place, with appropriate nae - Like "Vicki Yuna Hair - Maya" or some such. This way I can find everything easily, and I know who made it. I keep the entire collection separate from my Poser drive. I transfer files to Poser when I need them and have unzipped them separately. Then after each month (or several months lol) I backup. Since I've been doing it this way more or less for 5 years now, I can do searches (in Windows Explorer) and find absolutely anything.... by type of object/file, name of file, author, date, etc. I have tens of thousands of freebies set up like this in a HUGE library. I keep everything, but only install a small prcentage of it in Poser, only when I may need it. My Poser folder is already about 80 GB or so, so I need to be careful what I add :o) Oh, and I burn to DVD. CD's are hopeless, I collect more than 1 Gig per month - of just Poser stuff. Then there's all the other junk.... :] Fish
