P3dO is a great program. In fact it's what I use to find my Poser stuff. But it is limited in what it can do. Right now my Poser directories aren't as numerous as most peoples' but I'm nearing the point where I'm going to have to use an actual graphics database like Portfolio or Thumbs Plus, etc. I need the ability to assign key words to files and do searches based on them. Also the searches I mentioned on file names and paths. Soon I'm going to need to create separate albums for all my textures, poses, characters, etc. P3dO can't do that. If you need to find a pose for example, with P3dO you have to highlight a directory and look at each thumbnail. Then highlight the next, then the next, and on and on. With many pose directories that could take quite a while. And if you have large libraries on CDs, forget it. With an album consisting of all your poses and their paths, including CDs, it'd be a lot faster. And if you've assigned key words to your pose files it would be even faster. Plus I like the ability to print my catalogs so I don't need to reload the program every time I need to find something. Every program has its strengths and weaknesses. I love P3dO but for very large libraries, it just doesn't suffice.
