scottl best advice ,use the tools made for the app.

Well, that is what happens when you have spent a decade developing educational products for a living - you learn how to break things down into simple digestible chunks. It really isn't hard - each step is simple, you just have to do a number of them in sequence. I ended up building a check list to make sure I got everything. Oh, and spending 6 months actually trying out what works and what doesn't work. Many failures before success.

Even making sense of the mess that is the DS file system isn't hard - it is simply the amount of work you have to do to bring order to the file structure - DS 4.x is way too vendor-centric - the end user pretty much has to remember which vendor made which product, because not only is every product hidden away inside a vendor ego folder, but add-ons and such have no mention of what base product they go with. Add in that DAZ changed how they wanted stuff sorted between DS 4.0 and 4.5 and you have a recipe for disaster. Worst case scenario example is the Mad Nurse for genesis 1 & genesis 2. It is a great product, but lord, they do make it hard to use. The add-ons for the products are all over the place.
