Quote - That kind of thing is not supposed to happen, Rendo is supposed to test that before it gets released to market I believe. I can understand if I move something that has a full path specified in a file, then I'm asking for it... but things like texture files, geometry, and deltas should not be moved. but rather saved into their proper directories when making a zip file to upload. Dumping everything into one file for a user to figure out is no help either as you still have to go through a bloody deep search for each item you load, or else give your text editor a workout. I understand some people have no clue what goes where, and want to share stuff, but there are a lot of people who have used Daz/Poser for long enough that they should know better..that's just sloppiness.
Sorry...that's my pet peeve...rant over.I've never known Poser to crash when this happens but I rarely use it.
It does not happen that often (wrong path to directory, mainly the mat_ pos file for textures is the culprit). I did not changed the main structure of the directorys. Morph/Deltas I didn't touched at all.
But in the for example inside the Geometries directory, I createt folders by the figures name(A3, V3, M3 and so on), inside that one a folder like Dresses, Ancient etc. The same I've done inside the Main "Folders"(Textures,Figure, Poses, Props). The downside is, lots of editing cr2's and pz's files!
At least now I got everything for each Figure/Prop, only a click away, without shifting through "hundreds" of folders to find one item for a figure. Some vendors sadly name their product (add ons like texture maps files/folders, they choose a name, which hardly points to the product it was made for) after installing you wonder, "what was this one for"(Unless you only had one item to install)?
With Poser crashing, when it cant find the path to something, I read on the DAZ and Rendererotica forums. I don't know if it's true or not.
