I set up seperate runtimes like one for V4, V4 Poses, V4 expressions and the same for M4 and David and so on. After that there are runtimes for themes such as Space, Cities, Rooms and so on. If one runtime gets too large I split it which i have done with props so I have one for weapons another for equipment and after setting up a new runtime I move content using P3dO explorer. Within each runtime I retain the default structure but I also use the Shaderworks Library manager so that might have an impact on how I use the structure.
As for finding vendor information I do that seperately using a database I purchased from Daz and appears no longer to be available. This allows me to find information such as Vendor, date purchased, full price, sale price, store purchased and lots more.
I often use the search function on this database as the product screen remains live with the search screen overlayed. This gives me a large picture with all the details a soon as I click on the search link. I use this when I want to find something to use in a scene I am building but not sure what I have that would be appropriate.
I also use it before I purchase something if I think I may already have it. I know Rendo, where I do about 90% of my purchases, already checks this but there have been occasions when I have purchased the item from another store.
I can also make a note if something has a problem and the fix if there is one and I keep this information in mind for future purchases.
Only real downside is keeping the database up to date but even with promo pictures added it only take a few minutes to complete each time I purchase something.
I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 - Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU . The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
