Quote - It's kind of hard to please everybody - I have a very rigid convention of putting anything I do myself under a *Flesh Forge directory.  If a user wants to move it they're welcome to, but something I always hate as a user is inconsistent directory names, and another is having everything off the top level of the directory.  Maybe if you only had 40 or 50 things in your entire runtime then you'd be happy having everything off the top level but damn, that would drive me insane.  At least having stuff grouped by author's name I can make some kind of sense out of what I'm looking for (as long as it's consistent).

I don't mind subdirectories at all, I use them quite extensively in fact, but my pet peeve is the folks that name their cr2 or pp2 directories one thing, usually with the name of the outfit, and their MAT file directory something completely unrelated, making it pretty much impossible to find later on without opening a dozen unrelated directories till you find what your looking for.

As it is the best way I've found to keep my runtimes organized, when I do go to install something, is that I install it into a "dummy" runtime, I just made a directory called "Load" that is empty.  When I do purchase something, I install it into this directory, then take a look at the directory structure the artist used.  I rename them to suit my own conventions, the move the entire thing over to an actual runtime, which empties out the "load" directory and gets it ready for the next install. That way I'm not searching through trying to find where it installed the new stuff, works fairly well.  Also gives me a chance to delete all of those damn readme files that I never read anyway and would otherwise just be occupying valuable hard drive space for no good purpose.

And ya, your right, everybody's organizational structure and thought process is different, I'm not expecting everyone to follow my own preferred naming conventions, that would just be silly.  Nope, all I'm hoping for is a bit of common sense when the artist does get around to chosing their own directory names.  Having a directory in the character portion of the runtime called "Alice Dress" and all of the mat files in the pose section under "Artist Name that doesn't appear in Character directory" with no mention of the fact that these are mat files for the "Alice" dress is really irritating and just downright silly.

My other personal fav is the folks that put things under directories like V4 Clothes or M4 Morphing Clothes.  Umm.. ya.  Like that is the only set of clothes I have for either character.  No mention of what type of clothes they are, etc.. just V4 Clothes.   Personally I've always found that to be a bit arrogant.  It's as if the artist was saying, "My set of clothes was the only one worth buying for V4.  You don't need any others". 

Lol.. so no, all in all I don't expect huge changes there, but when the opportunity presents itself I think one should put a "bug in someone's ear" about stuff like this, hopefully a few artists read through this and thought to themselves, you know what, he's got a point :)
