One question, got a dir of downloaded zip files now, don't have the utilities that I used to use (poorly) and never could figure out how to manipulate the runtimes and such much less how to get them where I could call them from the file thing, sometimes I had thumbnails and sometimes not. So square pegs went into round holes. Also 4 year hiatus.

Is that something doable or is there a new third party loader?

Thanks in advance.

You have quite a few options to install from zip:

* items bought on Rendo, for exemple, can installed directly:

* other zips can be installed from the function lying under "File > Install from Zip"

But, and it's my personal preference, I prefer to install manually, e.g. all purchased materials are stored in a sub-folder depending on the vendor of the concerned product 

Exemple with clothes:

That way, I can keep my items organized. I used to use the default folders up to poser7, resulting in a poser7 runtime that became a nightmare to navigate through 
The principle is easy: just respect poser's runtime structure:

That way, you may keep your items organized by runtimes, each devoted to a specific domain.
As you may know, ZIP exists since such a long time that all operating systems can open them, but if you're looking for a cool tool under windows, there's the free 7zip
