Please have a look at the pic you can see two trees one is called P6 the other downloads. I have allowed poser to decide where it all go's and now have no idea how to navigate it in P6. Any suggestions, all I can think is start a fresh reload everything and control everywhere stuff goes manually. I hate to think how long it would take but if it saves me waisting so much time trying to find stuff in P6 it might be worth it. OR should I use the equally confusing Advanced library for poser and its associated products, not sure if this costs me more money. Your suggestions will help me greatly. Rowlando

This looks as a seriously messed up runtime and it's no wonder you have problems navigating in it...

The one on the left is the default Poser 6 runtime you will find when opening Poser. You should be able to find the one on the right as well (the "Downloads" folder), but since a number of files appeared to have been installed wrongly, I suspect that many files will remain hidden unless you move them.

If you open the folder "libraries" in the runtime on your left (the one directly under the Poser 6" folder), you will see folders for Poses, Props etc that corresponds to the library in Poser 6. This is what you see when opening Poser 6.

Now open the folders "librairies" and "libraries" in the "Download" folder. You will find similar folders in there. My suggestion is to take all the files in these folders and move them manually to the corresponding folders in the "libraries" folder in the runtime you have directly under "Poser 6".

Also do the same for the folder "geometries": Move all files in "geometries" found in the "Downloads" runtime to the runtime you already have directly under "Poser 6". Just make sure that the subfolders under "geometries" are intact. Otherwise, Poser will not be able to find the geometries when you load stuff in Poser.

Finally, move all textures to the folder "textures" under the runtime directly under "Poser 6".

In the future, install Poser downloads into the runtime by moving files manually, much safer...

I agree with Kelderek - I learned from difficult experience that manually installing downloads was the answer - it doesn't take too long and at least you know exactly what is going where. Some installers (notably DAZ) have a habit of chucking stuff everywhere and you have to find it all and relocate it! Grrrrr

May be he is asking how to change to Downloads, just click on the folder on top of the libraries, repeat it until you see Poser 6 and Downloads, then click on downloads. Before starting this, move all contentent of your downloadlibrairies folder to downloadlibraries

A big thankyou, I will follow these instructions I can see and use both P^ & Downloads its just too hard to navigate them going from one to the other to find stuff. Yep I do want to know how to move everything properly and then manually install from now on. Thanks Kelderek I think I can follow the process you have explaned it well. Rowlando
