Okay its seems that there are a number of obj. files missing in my runtimes, along with who knows what else.

I created multiple runtimes using the tutorial for it I found on this site.  Not a problem for most of my stuff; however, it appears that some of my items are missing.  I noticed that these exist in the unzipped folders, but not in the runtimes.

I am assuming that when I copied the unzipped data to the runtime folders, windows Vista over-wrote the files rather than merging them. 

I take it that I probably just need to recopy the folders over, but they cause the same problem to remain.  Should I create new runtimes to keep the "offending" items in different folders or is there another approach.  

Also, with the folder names that are provided by some of the content creators, I have no idea whats in them ... Not a problem now as I don't have too much content, but I imagine it can be a problem when the amount of content on my harddrive exceeds my short-term memory.

Is there a way to rename folders?

You can rename folders but I'd strongly suggest not renaming any Geometry folders as this will cause more problems with broken links from the CR2s to the OBJ files.

Another issue:  

I noticed that after I unzip files and then move the runtime folder to where I keep my runtimes, I will get file specific conflicts in which Windows Vista asks me numerous times whether i want to copy the given file as another version already exists.

Sometimes these are just readme files and I just save both copies; however, at times it appears to be actualy Poser content items, like obj files.  I believe I may have overwritten some of my files and this is causing problems.

Is this what is happening with obj. files missing for some items or am I off the mark here and should be trying to resolve this another way.

Edit: Okay, I have found the missing obj. files that I need in my unzipped folder.  Now, how the heck do I figure out where to move them to so that Poser knows where to find them?

I downloaded Correct Reference, but it seems a little more complicated than I have the patience for right now.  Is there a better software that will "automatically" do it.  Or can I just move the files manually?  If manually, again, where to?  

Thanks again.

You can unzip these files in a dummy directory and then manually move the contents to the correct directories.  Sharen

"Now, how the heck do I figure out where to move them to so that Poser knows where to find them?"

You can open any uncompressed Poser file with any text editor to see where the obj belongs if you need to. You can view any compress Poser file with just about any program like WinZip, by clicking and viewing the file instead of unzipping it. 

Hope that helps some.

Thanks!  That helps!  Time to get busy.
