Very new to Studio but after just a few content installations, I've noticed that it can suffer from library content issues in the same way as Poser - due mostly to the folder structures used by those creating the content.

I.e. some vendors place their content in a named sub folder, others create a duplicate "Genesis 3 Female" folder under their own structure and install content there etc. etc. - basically resulting in the content quickly becoming scattered over numerous folders.

I've noticed that I can right click on the library folders and, from there, navigate directly to the file folders and then manually update and tidy up the folder structures as need be. Is there any way to do this from inside Studio directly or an add-on that can accomplish this?

Also, still in the library, some characters have a main icon in the root of the appropriate genesis folder, for example, allowing you to see them quickly alongside other characters and load them in directly from that point and even have a folder icon image of the character itself whereas other characters have no root icon, a plain folder image and you have to load them from their character sub folder. Is there a way to make these work the same?

Much thanks.
