I don't see the harm in it. SM never implemented it very well to begin with and pretty much wanted nothing to do with CP anyway. Rosity is a content store, so naturally they're going to find ways to market their content as much as possible, because that's what pays the bills.

You're absolutely right.

Now look at everything they could be doing with the application - fixing bugs, overhauling it for future-proofing, adding features that would help it exceed the competition...

I'm sure they're likely doing some of that, but this marketing thing is a diversion, and I daresay few-to-nobody will use it. It kinda reeks of some MBA brainchild that got cheers at the board meeting, but will (as DAZ found out), turn out to be as popular as New Coke (or worse, Zima). I mean, what use would anyone have for a feature that installs stuff splattered all over one Runtime chain, all unfindable because it's all named according to vendor ego/will/whim?

Quoth Glitterati3D: "Now, can we please get back to the original post and stay on topic?"

Incidentally, I thought the topic of the thread was "Poser Development Article". This worthless feature is in that article. Now if OP doesn't want to talk about it, cool, but you're not OP, so...
