I've now bought two products, La Femme t-shirt and jeans, and LFAlethea, in which the runtime folder in the zip file is in a folder called poser premium content, rather than being a top level folder in the zip.

This means that the install from zip archive in poser does not work properly with these products and they have to be installed manually.

Is this a policy change, which seems like a bad idea now that new users are being attracted to poser and really the basic install method should work, or is just a mistake with these two products that has slipped past qc?

Additionally with LFAlethea many of the texture file paths seem incorrect as I had to manually locate most of jpgs

There have been problems with those particular zips. I didn't think about the folder problem in the zip since I'm used to seeing freebies like that. However, you are correct, there should have been some quality control check on the problematic files before release.

During development we were planning to make a change to the top level Poser Content folder that installs with Poser..and therefore wanted the La Femme content to automatically install to that folder. In the end, that change did not make it into this version. And we have been working night and day to correct both the additional content that comes with Poser AND the products in the marketplace that had also been changed to meet that new format. ALL files should now be corrected. Just redownload them from either the Poser Software site under the additional downloads, OR your account here on Renderosity.

Thanks for info
