Why is a mansion interior set in a folder called "scenery"?

I found this when I was looking for some trees and rocks (some "scenery") one day recently.  I forgot I had bought that damn thing!!  I haven't seen or used it in years!

Is it too much to ask for a folder that makes a bit of sense?

How about this problem?

I have outfits that I don't know who the hell can wear them!!  Is it for Aiko is it for V3, V4, Jessi, Jessi G2?  WTF!?

Is it too much to ask for the vendor to maybe put the initials in the thumbnail?  I think I have like two sets of clothes where someone nicely did this.  I look at those outfits and I know they are for V3 and V2 because the thumbnails have it clearly printed on them.

Hair vendors seem to get this for the most part.  Actually, almost every hair I've ever bought is quite clear on who it fits or int he pose flolder who it can fit.  HUGE KUDOS to the hair vendors!!

Oh, and the naming textures thing?  Yeah, I still remember installing something where a vendor named his texture "metal.jpg" and it installed in his folder (not so bad), but it over wrote another metal texture that was in a package I had bought a few months earlier from him!!  I wrote to him and never did hear back.  Not impossible to fix (backups of original zips and all that), but really annoying to find out months later when i decided to pull out the older product for some use.

Oh, and most importantly I will echo the readme thing.  I don't think I should have to dig around in my CD backups looking for a merchant's readme.  Sorry, not something I should need to do!  Make it clear and in it's own folder in a readme folder.

Oh, and one more complaint:  NAME YOUR FOLDERS AT LEAST SOMETHING SIMILAR!!

Man, trying to find the texture folder for something when the folder is named after the artist, but the pose folder was named after the product and the Geometry folder was named after the concept, is about enough to make one become very violent and stop buying products form anyone anywhere for months on end!!!
