Quote - If you have Poser 8 (not sure about pro) you can have your poser files or any files for that matter in any library section you like..

I have sub folders in my character section for clothing and inside each clothing file i also add the pose files in their own sub folder, makes life much easier lol

Took the words out of my mouth, Deni. 😄 Whilst the Poser file system can seem a bit bizarre, it's really not rocket science, and you can re-arrange things to suit your sense of organisation. And it only takes an extra 2 minutes to move things into your designated folders after installing ( which in Poser mean unzipping and copying the runtime over top of your target runtime ).

In the Character folder, I have people like the Daz figures and others arranged under People, all clothing in Clothing with sub-folders (like lingerie and shoes and outfits and costumes) and so forth.

Same for the Pose folder. morph tools like Corvas's armpit fix in Morphs, all actual figure poses in All Poses, clothing MATs in Clothing, Hair MATs in Hair, and ... well ... I sort-of put figure morphs in a folder called V4 Characters, which I know makes little sense to anyone, but it makes sense to me, which is what counts.

Point is: once you set things up to suit yourself, it will all make sense to you (if not to anyone else: doesn't matter, does it?).

For products I make, I even have a TestRT (test runtime) which gets re-made and deleted/replaced for each product I make/test. That one I try to leave folder naming as conventional as possible so that people find stuff easily after installing.
