A. Like @Ghostship, I have only two runtimes: Poser 11 Content (stuff from the install, w/ no customizations -- and hardly ever used) and My Poser Content (for everything else, from purchased items to freebies to items I've made myself). This is my main runtime, and the Libraries section is extensively organized using my own folder and subfolder system as well as color-coded folder icons and Finder tags (so I can quickly find, for example, all dresses or all dining tables).

I tried multiple runtimes years ago, but I found them a pain to navigate and a waste of disk space, as I ended up with lots of geometry and texture duplicates. Having the ability to extensively customize what I want in each of the main Libraries folders has resolved the anxiety I used to feel when trying to find things that were installed wherever the vendor thought they should go, and I hope Poser never locks users into a rigid library structure!
