Actually, even a distinction between library files that call geometry and that that dont is not necessary and not helpful for the user. The only things that need fixed paths are the textures and the geometry itself. Most oft the time, I what to keep all library files of a product in one single folder. It would be so much easier if, for example a outfit that consist of a figure, some props, and a couple of different Mat-poses could stay in a single folder. Poser can determine the type of file from the extension and display a small icon for it with the thumbnail. Moving content between Folders is a muss (drag and drop between two simultaneous open folders would be great). I think poser needs a inbuilt system for installing content, that automatically places geometry and texture files in the right place. It should also build a database of file dependencies that would be useful fro moving and removing content. Poses (including Mat-, Mor-and such Poses) should include a tag with a reference for witch figure they are intended. That information should go into this database also. You should be able to search and filter your library for Poses for a single figure. It would also be great, if the author of a library file could include a comment/helptext in it that can be displayed in poser (maybe on a right click on the thumbnail). That would be much better than all this readme files that get always lost. And change the action for a double-click on a figure from Change to Add! Stefan
