Quote - OK, here we go. What I want to do is separate specific folders for one external runtime folder to a new external runtime folder. My external runtime folder is getting very big and I need to divide it. The problem that I am confronted with is I am not familiar with what geometry, texture, etc. that are associated with each of the items within the library. Man, I now I am not explaining this right...

I will try again. I want to take a large external runtime folder and break it up in to several external runtime folders, each themed to specific models and genres (environments, vehicles, etc).

How do I do it with out having to copy the entire textures and geometries folders over and over again. I don't know what is associated with what when it concerns these files so, is there a program that will locate and transfer all files associated one with the other to a new location? I tried P3DO but I don't think it has such a feature. I am using Poser 7.

Any help would be appreciated :)

If you have gobs of content (like I do), it's almost easier to start over: i.e. reinstall all the content you want to the runtime you want from your original zips or installers. THEN go thru (if you wanna do that) and compare each set of files with the files in the runtime that you want to thin out. Most purchased content anyway has a readme with all the files and file locations in it. You should be able to find the content you want to remove/move from the readme. I even do that in my freebie content and others do as well.
