Ok, thanks for that. Downloaded and going to give it a whirl soon as it loads in Poser :) Thanks :)

Quote - Hi All,

I'm new and am starting to figure out that installing all my content into 1 runtime was a huge mistake. I can no longer tell what items go with what models. Gonna have to redo from scratch I think.

Doing a little reading of the tutorials, it seems that I should have separate runtime folders for V4, Stephanie, The Girl etc. (True?)

My question is, what about the various versions of each? For example, do I need a separate runtime folder for V1, V2, V3 and V4? Or can all the Victoria stuff go into one runtime folder?

For non character specific items like furnature and assorted props, are there any guidelines?

 

Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to Poser.

I have my runtime setup as all figures having their own folders so each Vicky has her own folder. Even tho G4 is off the V4 mesh, she still gets her own folder. I've had to break down all my hair models to their proper names where sometimes the artist will put their name on the folder so it made it hard to find the hair. So I went through all my hair and labeled them with their proper names. Then I grouped those up into their own hair folder and then in the Pose folder I put the textures broken down in 6 folders by alpha order under their own "hair" folder [makes is so much easier when looking to change a hair color!!].

I have so many hair items [200+] that I spent an hour or so rendering quick images of a model with a hair item and created a image folder so when I'm looking for a hair I can look at that image folder and see what hair I want instead of spending hours looking thru the runtime for the right one. I'm thinking of doing that with clothing items too but that might be a bit much :)

I have folders in Props labled V4 props M4 props etc. In Poses is where you're really going to need to be 'strict' in your housecleaning, all the clothing, all the hair, all the poses just gets to be one huge folder. So that's where breaking it all down to their proper figures NOW will help you a few years down the road when you start getting 30-50gigs of stuff in your runtime :) So under the folder I created as "poses" in the Pose file group I will have folders tagged as V4 poses, M4 poses, Group poses are those pose groups that mercs make dealing with both figures and you can't really break them down...you could but more work. 

I had a Wing prop that I could never find each time I wanted it, so I created a folder called "wings" just for that purpose, so any wings I pick up go right to that folder. 

Just remember that when you add new content you need to do your housekeeping and put them in the folders you have created so you'll have a hair pulling chore to do every other month :) 

kk, thanks for checking. 

I use Googles mail. I've never had problems with coupons in the past except this new one and the one prior. Probably because I've been online got the email and used the coupon the day I got it in the mail. I've just tried going back further into my mail to try and see if I could give you a date on when this started, but it looks like it's on just about all the messages that come over with the black background. Whether it's a coupon, sales flyer etc. The content looks like it all fits, until you highlight a black spot and there is writing. I really haven't noticed it before until this last coupon. I didn't check my mail for a few days and when I saw that coupon I kept looking at it for a date on when it expired, hence my first post. Then I highlighted it to be curious and there is all the fine print so to speak. So that prompted my 2nd post. When I got the latest coupon, I highlighted it again and posted it in the image. I know I've seen expiration dates on the coupons from here.

Edit: Just wondering why only parts of the white type is blocked and not all of it if I were having issues on my end. I only get "if you are having issues.." link. But if the message looks fine, I wouldn't use that link. I guess I'll have to highlight the messages from now for stuff. I got the Display all images for this email if I was getting it for the first time. I selected display all the time from Renderosity when I started using gmail about 3 years ago so it doesn't give me that option anymore. 

Well it would have been nice to have had an expiration date on it other than "limited time" then I wouldn't have wasted time posting. 

Well isn't this just special. I was going to highlight/copy/paste the message here but the bright spark in the back office who sent it thought it was really funny to write all that important text in BLACK on a black background. So when I highlighted it, guess what, all that expire info was there. This is Nov not April. 

So I guess I keep my money this time round. 

I"ll try that, thanks :) 

oh well, looks like I must admit defeat. It was worth the try I suppose. Thanks for the help. 

Heya Fixer, What folder in cs5 should the folder Flood go into? I tried Filters but it's not showing up in CS5 when I start it up to check. 

I just recently installed CS5 since I couldn't move my old PS over to my new computer due to the limits Adobe set and it was time to upgrade either way. But I can't figure out how to move a plug in called "Flood" over to the new version. I can't find my zip file of the original since it's been a long time ago since I got it. Reading this forum, and it looks like I might have to say goodbye to Flood, unless someone knows a trick with CS5?

 Thanks I'll check these out :)

 I can't get the coupon to discount on my items

Edit: NM...all the items in my basket are on sale. Oh well, I win...no money spent 

 Where can these remaps be found? Have a large closet full of V3 and M3 stuff that would be great to use again. :)

First instinct is to say yes right away but I checked properties and it is showing up at .PMD? 

 Good thread...book marking it.
