Quote - think someone is naming folders wrong, if you mess with either Geometries OR the Textures folder, Poser CANNOT  find and load the textures etc.

BUT, if you are actually talking about .pz2 and .mt5/.mc6 files, they CAN be moved anywhere in the Libraries folders.

texture files ( .jpg, .tiff, .png etc) will/should have this pathing>>>>>  :Runtime:Textures:'product name':'whatever.jpg/.tif/.png'

the object files will always ( or should be) in >>>>>>>>>>>>> :Runtime:Geometries:  etc.

DS doesn't care (mostly) where files are put, BUT, Poser files will always reference textures and .obj's the same way.

so, if you try to use a .pz2 in DS, and you have moved either the .obj or a texture file, the .pz2/.pp2 etc will not be able to find the required files, and would need editing to match where they actually are residing

I renamed mostly my library files. For example...I made a folder in every directory and named it M4 for anything relating to Michael 4. So if I then installed a clothing item named 'Striped Trousers'(just making up a name to illustrate the point) for M4, I installed it first into a temp dir outside of Poser. I then went into that Runtimes/libraries, and then made a directory in all the Libraries and named it M4. So let's say that the clothing item is named 'Striped Trousers'. The Figures Dir would look like this...Figures/M4/Striped Trousers. The same for Poses...Pose/M4/Striped Trousers. The same for textures...Texture/M4/Striped Trousers. This made it easier to find things, because if I loaded the Stiped Pants from the figures folder, I knew they belonged and fit M4, and where to easily find the poses for them, and where to easily locate the textures, in case I wanted to edit them in PhotoPaint at some point. It caused absolutely ZERO problems with Poser. It didn't take Poser no time to locate and load these. So after I got that particular figure reorganized to my liking, I simply selected the Runtimes folder and moved the entire thing into the root directory of Poser. I didn't change any locations in the Geometry folders, only in the Library folders, as I tried to illustrate. It made life so much easier for me, instead of having to try and figure where the pose to this character is located, the pose to that Character, etc. Now if there were only a way for Daz Studio to quit asking to locate these textures I would have it made. But I'm starting to get the impression that it was the users who didn't want a feature like this because it uses a lot of memory or something.
