I hate lack of continuity in sub-folder names for any particular product (tex under the vendor's name, character or prop file under the product's name and MAT files under something completely different). As stated in previous notes, it makes finding a texture, for example, a complete nightmare. Make the d/l zip name correspond to the product. Often, rather than search for ages through runtime, I'll go into my stored zips, open the one I can't find the location of a texture for, and simply read it from the folder path info. But if the zip hasn't got a descriptive name, it makes life more interesting (I've rediscovered a few wonderful products by opening the wrong zip), though makes the hunt more frustrating. Include a reference in the file name to the character a bit of clothing is designed for. We should come up with a standard one or two letter code in clothing and prop names to designate whether it is conformable or should be parented. Pose sets should have a similar code to indicate which character they're for, and if the user should have IK and/or limits on or off.
