I have a quick question for Paolo or any other Mac user...

My new iMac 27" machine just arrived Tuesday, and I've been getting it set up and running with DAZ Studio 4.5, LUXrender and Reality.  I have a fresh setup with the DAZ-supplied Genesis Essentials in the library, and I was able to do a test render with Genesis and provided skin, hair, etc.  The system seems to render about 10 times faster than my PC, so I'm pretty excited about that.

Here is my problem...  When I download a purchased product on the Mac, it seems to unzip the files into a folder hierachy in the Finder, and I cannot find a way to merge the folders into my Runtime.  On the PC, I was in the habit of unzipping directly into the My Library folder, and the subfolders were automatically merged into the existing folder hierarchy.  I can not find a way to do this in Mac OS X (Mountain Lion).  If I drag the folders in, it warns me the folders will be replaced, and there is no "merge" option.

Help, anyone?
