I am a total newbee to poser. But I have been doing a mix of the above, multi runtimes, change folder names and then do a search and replace in the resource file to point at the appropriate texture, etc folder via my text editor. In most cases make my own 91x91 png image in PS for the folder icon. Those icons are nothing fancy. Just text on a plain background in a small simple font explaining what is in the folder, (ie as stated above Jane's Dress) with the bottom right hand corner having V3 or V3/SP3 , etc. telling me where it can be used. I think you get the picture. But way to much work. Again being a newbee to poser, and the fact these are basically text files you need to control-edit and or folder names inside the runtime directory structure. Excluding creating the folder structure in the runtime folders, I am surprised (unless I have not stumbled across it yet) that there isn't a py script to move things around for you automatically. Move item A from folder 1 and put it in folder 2. and edit the resource file to reflect the changed location. The whole process is time consuming to say the least. I'd rather spend my time using poser then managing content. Being on OSX, I am thinking I could automate the whole process in apple script. But again creating that script, takes time away from why I bought the product in the first place. Plus scripting is not something I care to relearn from a zillon years ago. There has to be a py expert that could whip this out in a hurry somewhere I bet and then sell it in their content store. Again I operate under the assumption this py script doesn't exist yet.
