Hi all,

I am building up my new hardware, featuring a 250Gb HDD, split up in 2 volumes, 1 of 40 Gb (C:)for Windows and programs, and the rest (D:)for data.

Now for reasons of maintenance I would like to move the content part of the Poser Runtimes (library, textures and geometries) to the D: drive, so the system volume remains clean . How can I best do that? Can I just move them and fiddle the library preference file?, or can I best make a copy of the relevant bits of the Runtime to D:, and define it as an additonal library for Poser. Then the library items could be stripped from the Runtime in the Poser program directory?

I assume any solution will have a repercussion on performance.

I am using Poser 5 and DAZ|Studio.

All advice is welcome.

You can have your runtime on any drive you want.  When you open Poser,  just point Poser to the runtime in the library.

In the library use the small arrow to "add a new runtime", then browse to the runtime and add it to the library.  If you are using an external hard drive for your runtime make sure you turn it on before you open poser otherwise your runtime won't show and you will have to add them again.

Thank you.

Understood, but your solution holds for additional Runtimes. My question referred to moving the content of the basic Runtime, in particular with a view to merge the referenced files (textures, geometries) and minimize load and search times. So, to let Poser look on the D:  volume in the first place.

The Runtime folder and the Downloads folder that installs with Poser MUST remain where they are.  If you want to keep your C Drive clean you can create external runtimes on your D drive but you can't move the native Poser runtimes.
