Hey all, thanks for all the answers! :) I will work on this today (the billing for the family business also has to get done, so it might take a while, but I wanted to make sure that everyone who responded knew that I did see this.)

"I guess I am not sure with what you mean by "pulled Poser files into the Poser directory in each individual folder"?

I'm not going to claim that this is a good way, but there are times when I have separately taken each folder associated with a separate section for an item and individually taken it into that section. This is by having 2 windows open, one for the desktop folder where I originally unzipped it, and one for the Poser directory. Each individual folder is then taken into its section of the directory. Nothing is merged-- the folder just goes in as a new folder so that it's with all the others. The obj file folder to geometry, the texture folder to Textures, the pose folder to Poses, etc etc etc.

This is a very time-consuming way to get items into a Poser runtime, but it does work, and it means that there's no chance of getting anything into the wrong folder or losing track of where it is. I see EXACTLY where each folder and file is going. I'm not exactly recommending that anyone do this, because there's obviously a much easier way, and it's all very OCD. But what I meant was that at this point, I would do the same type of thing in Daz for each and every individual third party item if I had to.
