Poser has a very screwed up file structure compared to almost anything else that's available. I'm not interested in trying to learn what some programmer had in mind, I'm looking for a replacement for it. Spending an hour trying to make up for what could have been done with one "set path" line in an .ini file isn't going to happen again. Opening one of the files and searching for the locations should be the last resort, not standard operating practice. If D|S shares the same file structure, it's going to mean that I'm still looking for a replacement. I don't care for poser's interface either, too much like a video game. All D|S has to do is work a little better, and instead of me searching for the files, IT should do the searching. It shouldn't have to search, they should all be in the same folder, one character, one folder. I have one scene file for POV-Ray, the program calls more than thirty .inc files, and they're all in one folder, no sub-folders. It has no problem. That includes the basic scene, props, colors, textures, height maps, and anything else I choose to put in. For D|S to follow poser's mess would be a huge mistake.
