Quote - ? The zip file should contain the structure of Runtime, what's wrong with that?

 

I don't recall saying anything was wrong with it. I only recall suggestion there be an executive function that installed the files to their corresponding directories. I bought some DAZ stuff that did exxactly that so that's where I got the idea. I then recall a post saying a vote was once taken on this idea and the majority rejected the concept. And that was that, I never contested the vote or attacked the fact there will be no executive command for artists' content files.  However, after spending so much time installing files, often one by one into directories, I find it discourages me from buying more content. While on the topic another comment. I believe at least one product I bought, the files were organized as a group according to the folders they belonged to. By organized I mean I didn't have to hunt and peck. Example the biggest file lists on one product I got had various files scattered and mixed so I had to read down a long list to find a specific file to copy into the proper folder. This took a huge amount of time to the point I gave up and just didn't bother to install it. Now the funny thing is, when I print out the .txt file it shows the lists categorized the way I mentioned but on the actual unzipped lists the individual files are in mixed clumps. But another product I mentioned, the unzipped files-everything that belong to a specific directory whether it was .png, obj and so were all together so I simply copied and pasted into the proper directory.

Finally, as I said in my first post, what I suggest may be way more than what's possible when packaging files. So artists' may not even be in control of how an archive software packages them. So there's a suggestion and an acknowledegement but stating that anybody is wrong.
