Part of the problem with putting textures anywhere else other than the :runtime:textures folder is this is where poser is set to look first. Yes, you can put them almost anywhere, but why would you. There are enough newbies out there it is a lot easier to try to follow the convention that was first setup, that is all, nothing more, nothing less. The same argument could be said for MAT Pose files, one guy puts all of his clothing textures, etc in the light folder, then all of his makeup and people textures in the camera folder. And put just his pose files in the pose folder. However, customers state that they want them in the pose folder, if they want them there, let them move it. While this may have wisdom, it is really not up to us to reinvent the wheel. We are just trying to document what the convention is. If you want to move them, that is fine. However if someone moves textures out of the :runtime:textures folder, Poser won't be able to find them, without recoding the MAT Pose file and I don't think we want our customers to have to do that. Anyway, yes your points do make some sense, but not to what we are working on. What we are trying to do is to establish the norm. As entitled, this is Suggested Standards, this means that we will encourge these, but there is nothing that says that someone can't do something else. What we are trying to do is to come to an agreement on basic locations. At this point it appears that there are many that would disagree with you. Obviously, you have thought this out and it makes sense to you. But, I doubt that most would agree with you, so I will not be changing the proposal! Sorry about that!
