I sympathise. As a new user to Poser, I'm amazed by the fiddly nature of the file structure. I've never come across a programme which is so powerful on one hand, and on the other such a pain to use. Seems to me from a little experimenting that nearly every file except Object files can go wherever one wishes, and even then if I find the pointers to the OBJ files in the CR2 files I can put those where I like too. This has made an enormous difference. I wiped my whole installation and started again, putting everything in a logical structure like this: FOLDER NAME OF OBJECT then underneath: CR2 Poses Extras Textures No need (as far as I am aware) of 500 subfolders full of mess under the runtime folder. I just don't see the logic of placing files belonging to one object or figure all over the place. It leads to a total nightmare in managing files and folders. It's like Curious labs had a conference and said: "OK, how can we design this program to be as awkward to use as possible!" Hope you get your stuff sorted... Kind Regards, Leonardis
