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.

That's how I've done it for quite some time.  Also run CorrectReference at the same time because there are still missing/misdirected files from a lot of products.

And speaking of readme files (which are, of course, inevitably named "readme" because hey, it's not like anyone else would ever use that name, would they?), I can understand not putting them outside the runtime directory.  But buried down in the runtime directory so you never see it except by accident because who the hell looks in their character folder for a readme file?  That's annoying.
