Subject: Tip for installing "addons" in Poser 5

I really like the new directory structure options for the library in P5. I decided to install some of my add-ons in a directory named "Added Content" under the Poser 5 directory. (like the "downloads" directory that comes standard) The installation of many products from Daz searches the hard drives for poser.exe and gives you the option to install in those directories. You can override this directory selection later, but you'll save yourself some steps if you simply create a dummy poser.exe and place it in the directory under which you want your add in's placed. For example, I created a "poser.exe" file with 0 bytes in the directory, "d:program filesposer 5added content". May not be a huge tip, but made my life easier. Chris

I don't know...that seems pretty clever to me. I was wondering how to override Daz's tenacity of purpose. Thanks for the idea!

Just make sure you select the right Poser.exe; the DAZ installers will give you a list of every one of them. But yeah, that is a handy little trick. A runtime for DAZ, one for freebies, one for RDNA, one for etc, etc etc..... Which might actually break up the runtime into manageable, archiveable, chunks, thinking about it...

I have a simiar set up but I have it dived up into categoloreis rather than content authorship, a runtime for millenium stuff, poser 4 people stuff, objects, animals, scenery et al. Works fine. Well, except for one poser 5 bug. you can not delete runtimes. well its not so much a bug as a glaring oversight ()one of many in poser 4.5 I mean poser 5. Actually you can delete it by hackingi ne the xml file but it shoudl not be that hard.

I thought you could delete runtimes similar to the way you added runtimes. At least they disappear from the list.....they did for me, anyway. Or did that ability vanish with patches????

On the DAZ installers I just click 'cancel'. Then after a couple of screens you can point it anywhere you want.
