Kendra - I'm not speaking of a forced file structure - but guidelines. A showing/explanation of file hierarchy. Conventions, not laws.

I've gotten to the point where I'm separating out my files according to figure (V1,V2,V3,Vlo,etc), clothing & accompanying MAT (and if needed, their MOR) files, poses, etc. Doing my damndest to stay within Poser's confines & not have to rely on 3rd party programs - highly effective and recommended they may be.

Some readmes just say 'thank you - free for personal use, not commercial' or something short & similar. Some are very comprehensive, but as far as file allocation goes, I may not follow its setup for whatever personal reason or stricture. Like I said before & agree w/u - vanity names help when it comes to compiling the credits but having AB's texture and YZ's texture for the same dress start w/MAT_ will still put them apart from each other. I put all MAT poses for a specific piece of clothing in the same folder labelled with MAT_clothingname. I'm stuck having to remember, if I can, who made what texture, but I can live with that.

There is no way there's only one, easy way for this to go. But there is a way to offer a helping hand - by way of an explanatory tutorial.
