no, I have many Runtimes :)

I name them simply so it's easy to get what they are
Poser Mike4
Poser Vicky3
Poser Fantasy props
Poser Buildings

etc, don't bunch 'em up under a few folders, better to have many very specific folders!

Obviously keep all Mike4 only items, like conforming clothes, in Mike 4, but is a set of fantasy weapons says "For Mike4"..it's not really Mike only, it should be in fantasy props,
likewise many types of hair are not figure specific, so are best saved in a "hair" folder.

some of course go in several folders like a few thematic clothing/prop sets meant for Mike 4 and Vicky4

Some old DAZ installers require a copy of Poser.exe to be in the folder, to find 'em, but that's only for very old stuff
I've been buying their stuff for a long time and they've been retro-fitting a lot of their installers, so it shouldn't be a problem with anything you buy now I think?

aye all placed under C: provided C: is big enough as they take a HUGE loads of space up, my poser stuff is about 125 gigs
remember that's the saved files, AND then the installed ones from that, and as said, always save the webpage, pics of, and readmes of content in the saved folder to make it easier to find stuff.

nah Poser can find it again, but you have to point poser in right direction, with Poser 8 just use the ADD LIBRARY button to add in each of yer libraries, nice and simple :)

uusally Vue will find the stuff no problem, least for me I've had no bother but I ignored Poser7, went form 6 to 8.
and as I note in my tuts, you cna export the ENTIRE contents of a Psoer scene to a folder, obj models, textures, everything, in an emergency.

yes, I am, ain't I? ;) he says like Daffy Duck
