Allie, While mentioning visual organization by corraling and nesting folders, I must not fail to talk about using typed symbols to further organize your folders or provide more information about them. Note that certain vendors use these symbols to put their products at the top of your directories. This is to their advantage, and quite possibly not to yours. It may be nice to see the new stuff at top... but not if you have to scroll past 20 shades of nailpolish to get down to your basic figure. And it's like pop-up ads: every vendor thinks their product is better and more desirable than the others, so the use of multiple !!! is growing. Maybe I do want their product at the top of the category... but that should be my choice. DAZ uses symbols to organize the generation 3 models, and reports are that bad things happen if you mess with them. Other than those particular models, feel free to get rid of the symbols you don't want and then apply your own. After all, symbols do more than simply say "new". A physical space comes before everything else in a "list view", and 2 spaces before 1. I've done a quick test, creating a couple dozen folders with various symbols and multiple numbers of them: space ! # $ % & * + - + = @ ^ It doesn't go in keyboard order. Multiple symbols: +++ then ++ then + So, what can you use these symbols for? On my computer, !name indicates that the folder is a group folder. "!books & scrolls" means that the folder has lots of books by various makers. "20poses4posette-smedley" without a symbol means that only one zip or maker was involved, no matter how numerous the contents. I use -name to show that the folder has not only been unzipped, but installed. This puts all the installed stuff high in the list view and makes determining its status a matter of a glance. "-longdress04-serge" is installed whereas "longdress-who" is not, and they are separated. If a folder is down in the body of the list, it hasn't been installed yet, and there might be a reason (such as a pz3 or 3ds in lieu of a standard file). Really important stuff gets spaces. For example, the base character of Vicki should come before all the other Vicki items in that folder. Furthermore, if I have made a neutral character, (totally white, zeroed dials, IK off) that figure should be before even the stock figure from the vendor because it is MY stock figure. If I am working on a character, making morphs or testing textures, I can use symbols to arrange them according to my priorities. Renaming to put files together or to keep them apart gives you power to manage them. Because the ! is now being used by DAZ (it wasn't critical when I started this system), you may wish to choose other symbols... in fact I recommend it. We tend to be visual, but there are times when using the list view is the best approach to finding something. Using typed symbols is like adding batteries to the flashlight BEFORE you need to find your way in the dark. ;) Carolly
