Hello hello, I just upgraded to Poser 11.3 and everything is fine. The Main library of my recent Poser version still here. I also like the purcheased auto installation feature. Now to my question: When I install a purcheased item, it is given in a new Library called "Purcheased Library", but I want to my purcheased items to get installed in my old library. Is there a way I can set a standard library path?

The install feature in the Library panel will only place your content into the Purchase runtime, no way of changing the path. Your only 2 options are to either manually move your content to your preferred runtime folder after install or use the install from zip feature under Files after you manually d/l your content to a convenient place. There is a 3rd option if you feel comfortable extracting your content directly from a compression program but you need to d/l your files first before proceeding.

Thanks hborre, looks like I will continue with the zip-feature, which works fine for me.

Did you try to replace the purchases folder with a shortcut to your desired destination folder?

I don't think a shortcut would help or work. The path from the Purchase tab is pretty hard-wired unless someone comes up with a hack.

You are right. A simple shortcut does not work. I removed the folder and added a link named Purchases in that folder, only to find Poser bypass that and make a new 'purchases' folder. Same happened wirh a link named 'Runtime'.

There are ways to set the spoofing deeper, at a level not normally detectble by applications. Not sure if you wan to go that far.

It is maybe better to let Poser have its ways and keep that 'purchases' folder as a sandbox. This means you can remove any reduntant crap and move files about as you see fit, then just move the Runtime to merge with the Runtime where you want the content.

That's a great suggestion FVerbaas ?
