If you upgrade to Poser 5, you can organize folders within folders and then you don't have to go about sticking materials in your pose folder... until it overflows and you go on to fill up your camera and faces folder, too. :sheesh: I avoid MAT files unless they are really, really useful (Bloodsong's Eagle Expansion Kit proved such an exception), and so look with unmitigated horror at these MarketPlace items with 50 matfiles here and another 40 there... as though they are doing us a favor by clogging our arteries, er, directories. Whether you upgrade or whether you buy PBoost, nothing will help the clutter unless you organize yourself. If you do portraits, you might need 200 shades of lipstick available with a click of a mouse, but what if you're doing animation? So, my first suggestion is to think about where you want to go with your art, then survey what you have and what you want to acquire and determine how to best organize it. If you're scrolling down 200 names to find a file, you're spending more time digging than drawing, and that's no fun at all. Carolly
