@Andrew-DEC - No vendors names has been mentioned yet, which is a good thing.

One can't really raise an issue with freebies. They're free and so one has to just grin an bear it and maybe get their hands dirty fixing up the files. Actually I learnt a lot about Poser files and how Poser works by fixing up others freebies, and I can get about 90% of them to work in Daz Studio (my 3D tool of choice).

So the issues here are really about sold products where one would expect a bit more attention to detail and understanding of the structure of Runtimes.

The thread started with an issue about using exclamations !!!! in file/folder names (which I agree with). Then others added their issues, including yours truely (being human I naturally had to put my 2 cents worth into this mix). A list to single out vendors was suggested (make up your own title to the list) and I hope will not be implemented. And of coarse the thread sort of drifted about as we brain stormed.

Anyhoot I feel the core of the issues are really well summed up by Keith's excellent list (which should maybe be turned into a mantra for vendors, possibly as a post-it-note superglued to the foreheads of some vendors. LOL).
