ssgbryan you make quantum physics sound simple

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.

1. How exactly is the mad nurse hard to use?

2. How exactly was things sorted between 4.0 and 4.5? I think this needs a bit of clarification on your part.

3. As far as vendor centric.. you do know that people know items more from who made it rather than the name? In this regard the name of the folders make sense and groups items by the vendor rather than have the customer figure out the name of the item among many products. So your assertion about vendor ego is really incorrect.

In short, none of what you stated has nothing to do with what the OP is asking. And this has been the problem in the forum for years where someone asks a question and it gets derailed with misinformation and bias and nothing is ever resolved.

That said, as DSON isn't really supported officially in Poser as of Genesis 3, you would do better with other poser native figures for Poser, or use genesis in DS. I would doubt the DSON importer will not be updated any further, so you will need to take that in account in case any windows updates or poser service packs affects the running of the importer. If you try to the Genesis 3 in poser script, that will not be officially supported, so you will have limited support using that as well.
