I always install new downloads into a "dummy" Poser4 folder on another drive, then after verifying the installations I go thru & prefix all the library folders with a "!! " prefix and edit the name to fit into my indexing system, then when I copy it over into Poser 4, I can find and check out the new downloads. Once that's done I close Poser and use Yarp's P3d0 to sort the new items as needed and edit out the "!! ". My biggest gripe is with vendors who let ProPak dump all the OBJ and texture files into library folders, and don't bother fixing the mess before uploading into the marketplace. I don't know why that's not something the Beta-testers check for, but even though it seems it's okay with the MP to sell such a mess, it's NOT okay to me. I HATE having to hack a new CR2 just to make it work when it's a product I paid for. When it's FreeStuff, I'm humbly grateful for the artist's generosity in sharing it and cheerfully fix it myself, but when it's a commercial product I can't help but curse the vendor's lazy bones (mentally).
