Probably, depends on what you see as an advantage and what PBoost can do (don't own it, and have no desire to do ever ,-)). Well, you can try it for free (and then continue to use it for free ;-)). But with AL you can create your own virtual folder structure. Depending on how organized or unorganized your runtimes currently are that can be easier or harder. AL lets you create your own folder structure, while not touching Poser's. So if you create a "Hair" folder in AL you can drag and drop Poser's libraries/hair folder there and also the "librariescharacterhair" folder (if you organized your character hair in a "hair" subfolder that is) and the "librariesposehair" and "librariesmaterialshair" folders, too. (And of course from different runtimes, too - you just need all runtimes added in Poser...) When you browse the hair folder inside AL then, it'll merge those folders and just give you one flat tree. This way you'll find the character hair together with the poses and materials that are for it rather than browsing for them in a different category again... Of course you need a certain order in your runtime first... There's a lot more, like search (on all indexed files), filter (on the displayed results) customizable keyboard shortcuts, a history of last loaded files, running Python scripts, loading content into DAZ Studio, Carrara, too... And of course you can have multiple windows open. But it's not doing any file shuffling, you've got to do it on your own, so it may not be for you. But maybe P3dO Explorer is more for you ;-)
