I am working on a really large pack.  There are 6 items in this pack and I have 6 textures for each item.  What I am wondering is even though some of these textures can be mixed do you prefer each texture set to be in its own subfolder or just have all the icons (probably nearly 50 icons) in the main folder.

I would vote for one folder.  Folder navigation in poser is poorly implemented, I would hate to have to go back and forth.  Also, I think there would be an advantage to seeing the different thumbs together by scrolling.

One folder-  If things come in separate folders I always put them into one myself  for the same reason    .    

Switching between folders in Poser does take more time than scrolling up and down one big one.

My 2 pence.

Hey, Daventaki. : )

I kinda like all related things to be accessible from one folder. 50 icons for an item actually sounds very manageable.

I have a hair product for V4 that has 275 -- (count them, 275!!) various poses... And whereas it's a blessing in terms of extreme versatility, it's a bit overwhelming to scroll through the previews in order to choose a pose. LOL! But hey, I was able to deal with it!  :p

Don't worry, this is not a complaint. Who can complain about having options?? :P  :P

So yah, 50 icons sounds promising in terms of features (and manageability)....

And so I vote for one folder!  : )

I'd vote for 1 folder too. Although I'm a little ocd so I'll probably move them around. I tend to over organize things.
