We get what we ask for. There are a lot of people (including me) who want to work with bloated runtimes and be able to manage these runtimes. I want to be able to find, pick and use

It's truly ironic though - organizing one's libraries is one of the very few things the user has complete control over. IMO, the company making the product shouldn't have that responsibility foisted upon them, and should not respond to it no matter how much the users beg for it.

Poser's library structure is archaic at best, but it IS usable and IS organizable. It's even transferable, as it relies on a relative path for everything. The problem is, people install things the way they get them, and end up with a bunch of folders starting with "!!!" and names for pose and mat libraries like "!!My Crappy Product".... and if you allow that you can have a mess.

However, everything can be unzipped to a temp folder and renamed more lgically or more relevent to the contents before being plopped into a runtime. It's not a good idea to rename the geometries or textures folders, but it can be done, and still be usable, but you don't need really to access them from within Poser anyway, so it's not as important. But all the other libraries which ARE accessed through ther Poser library structure can be renamed to whatever you want. And/or you can create multiple runtimes, based on content type.

As I said, it's ironic one of the few things that the user can actually control, S-M will be wasting time, effort and money on,  when people who work with computers should already be doing that on their own.

THAT would be a great place to srtart "beat[ing] the shit out of the rest of the community" - to make them understand that they dont' have to deal with sloppy libraries and it's really not Poser's fault if/when one's library becomes sloppy and unusable.

Somebody ought to make an indepth tutorial on how to organize one's content. Maybe I'll do it - my libraries are beautifully organized.

Then again, it's probably too late to even matter....
