Hi

I really like the cateloging features within DS4 where I can have characters, poses, MATs, Morphs all within the same subfolder structure, I can move multiple items into a folder at the same time, etc.

Does anyone know of a utility that can add this functionality to PoserPro2012

Thanks

Have a look at ShaderWorks Library Manager over at RDNA.

Poser Pro 2012's library already supports combining different file type into a single subfolder structure.

I haven't used an external library manager for Poser but I've heard good things about some of them, particularly the one recommended by ghostman above.

For me, the PP2012 library does everything I need: configurable, freedom to combine different file types in a folder, a 'favourites' system to further organise the library and support for metadata to make searching easy and powerful. It's far more powerful than many people realise...

Yep, same here.

I only use Posers Library.

Yes, it already support stuff within the same directory structure.  This was a P8 update I believe, as P7 did not allow for example, Poses in the Character folder.

The only shortcoming with the Poser Library for me is that folders can't be added to Favorites...

...I think that's the point where Basil's LM2 would help.

I've been wrestling with Shaderworks Library Manager 2 for a week or two now.  For me it's not going well.  There appears to be a 900 file limitation of some sort which just doesn't work for me at all.  I get lots of errors, particularly saying 'Out of Windows ID's'.  I've been communicating with him a bit, but I just don't think it's going to work for me unless that 900 limit can be over come some how.  My runtime is 56 gig, which is fairly big, I suppose.  If your runtime is much smaller maybe you won't have the same problems to deal with.  I don't know.

DS has been able to do that for a lot longer than with just DS4, I've been organising my Poser content like that since late DS1 early DS2 (long before we got that crappy content manager force fed to us).

i was not aware that Poser supported this natively - I give it a try - thanks to everyone who responded

Cheers
