I've created multiple runtimes, mostly divided by genre, and I've been slowly migrating my stuff over to these, but one nightmare I've run into is that so much of the clothing I have does not specify who it is for!!

Not a huge problem if I can go look it up online and find who it was intended for, but that only works if I know where I purchased it.

One request I would really like to make of content producers is that they include something simple in the thumbnail or something.  A picture of, say, a dress with a little "S3" in the corner would mean a lot to me.

Well, once I get all my stuff organized, this won't be as big of a deal.  In the future I'll install everything properly and there will be no headaches, right?  RIGHT!?

lol.

I like 3DVim's idea of downloading the product promo image.  I might start doing that and go back and do that for the stuff I can find.

Oh, and the read-me thing?

Yeah, when I first started with Poser waaay back I really got tired of everybody calling their readme the samething, so I would read it when I installed incase there was any issues to be aware of (like no commercial use) and then when the next product came along with the same named readme, I just overwrote.  I don't do that now, but back when I started, I really had no clue as to how big this hobby/obsession was going to get for me.  Going through my oldest stuff is a nightmare.

I just hope I will never have to re-install it all. (I've backed up my runtimes).  I have stacks of bizarrely named disks with loads of files that I downloaded all mixed together.  Imagine trying to figure our if that "Angels_HolySabre.zip" is for Poser or Never Winter Nights!!

Ah, the folly of youth.  (I can blame youth, I started this hobby in my late 20s, now I'm in my mid 30s, so much wiser... and balder.
