Multiple Runtime Folders Mulitple runtime folders is one of the coolest new additions to poser 5. It allows you to organise your files and libraries into categories of your choice. Here's how to do it. 1. Have a look in your ..Curious LabsPoser 5 directory and you will notice that you have a directory called "Downloads". This is normally used to temporarily try out new content but it is also perfect for using as a template to create new runtime folders. Copy and paste the "Downloads" folder into your poser 5 directory and windows will automatically rename this new folder as "Copy of Downloads". If you open this directory you will notice it has a "runtime" folder within it and inside this directory you will find a libraries folder which contains the standard : Camera Character Face Hair Hand Light Materials Pose Props As an example we can spilt up all the Daz products into a seperate runtime. 2. Rename the folder "Copy of Downloads" as "Daz Products" 3. Move all the Daz Related Character files (Cut and Paste), Poses and props, etc from the standard runtime folder to your new ..Daz ProductsRuntimeLibraries folder. Remember to move charactes to characters, props to props, etc. 4. Load Poser 5 and select the Figures part of the library. Keep double clicking on the very top directory until you reach the top and you see a folder called Poser5 with a red dot next to it. At the bottom of the figures pallete you will notice a tick and a plus sign. To add your new runtime ("Daz Products") click on the cross and browse to your new "Daz Products" folder and click OK. The new folder will appear and is now ready to use. Whenever you need to access the new "Daz Products" folder you just double click all the way to the top and then double click on the "Daz Products" folder. This procedure can be repeated again and again to categorise anything you like. Thanks NeilP
