This is very nice indeed but I suggest you install your files in a temporary folder then move them by hand to your runtime, keeping the same folder tree. There are a few reasons for this: 1) Even DAZ stuff is best installed this way because in most of their packages, you don't even have png thumbnails, only rsr. Ok, Poser will create a png image for each rsr image but who needs zillions of rsr thumbnails in their Poser runtime? 2) In most zipfiles that you download, you'll find files you really don't need with Poser 6: rsr, phi(most of them), mtl (except if you want to play with the objects in a modelling program), sometimes you'll have RTE (which you have to decode), pcf (same thing), etc. AND then come the scrap files nobody needs, not even Poser 4 users: thumbs.db, icon, .DS Store, .jbf, .bak, etc. So if you install or unzip your files in a temporary folder, you can get rid of all these unwanted files before installing the good files in your runtime. I also use P3dO Explorer with prpc script and I wouldn't go back to using Poser libraries. I've installed all my files in the character library. Let's say I install a scene set that contains camera, props, poses, lights, camera. I install the main files (pp2 or cr2) in a folder with the product name in my character library of the corresponding runtime. In that character folder, I install the rest of the files for that products: Props, Pose, Lights, Camera, etc. So when I want to use that scene in Poser, I have all the related files in the same location. I just love it! It saves me about 80% of the time I used to take to create a scene in Poser before I started using prpc/P3dO. And they are both FREE. You can purchase P3dO Pro and it is very inexpensive but the free version works fine with prpc. You can also use it to convert rsr to png.
