Hi,
 I have a new external hardrive and I want to keep the main Poser 7 files on the main internal drive but I want the content on the external drive in a more organized way with multiple runtimes. I have read through some of the tutorials on creating external runtimes but I still have questions. It seems you can make the multiple runtimes for new content but what about all the stuff I have already? What is the best weay to move existing content and organize it too? If this has been answered I apologize but need more info.

Thank you!
Deb

You are assuming incorrectly that creating external runtimes only involve new content.  Many individuals upgrading versions of Poser frequently link their old runtimes to their new programs.  What you really need to decide is how to organize your content.  Your old runtime folder is already organized to some extent with the files within their proper folders.  For example, you may want to create a V3 Clothes runtime.  Create your runtime folder within the 'V3 Clothes' folder and transfer those content specifically designated to dress V3.  Include Geometry and texture files because your content will search for these items when you access them.

I would suggest that you take an inventory of exactly what content you own before undertaking massive transfers.  Assess what is important and use regularly (i.e., models) and delete everything else if you still have your original zip or installer files.  By cleaning house this way, you really start fresh with trimmed down runtimes.  Create a special projects folder and install content that will only be used once or twice and deleted afterwards.  It is good practice to think about your needs for a particular project rather than installing everything you own and then regret that you can't find anything within a very slow program

Hi hborre, thank you for this information! It's very helpful to me. I have alot of content so this is going to take me awhile. ;)

thanks again,
Deb
