One thing I absolutely HATE is when people put up freestuff, or purchase items, and they somehow add the item name to the BEGINNING of the pathname in the zip file, - i.e., prop xxx has an install path in the zip file that says propxxxruntimelibraries.... which makes it absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to use the path at all when installing from the zip file - as the files will end up in Poser 4propxxxruntime.... NOT in Poser 4Runtime.... In these cases you have to manually put them in appropriate folders, so there is no point to having the paths in there, it's just a hindrance and inconvenience, and usually the stupid, frequently miles-long path has to be hacked out of the cr2, or pp2, or whatever anyway in order to get the damned thing to work at all. How Irritating! A while back I downloaded something that had a path 15 levels deep, starting at C:Program files etc. Really makes ya want to grab the turkey and 'beat him freely about the head and shoulders' with a small planet.
