Already did a search of this forum for this problem and only saw reports of Runtimes being trashed in Mac systems and Poser not wanting to fix it. (You have my sympathy.)

Here's a little background info before the main comment of this post is made near the end:

A while back I posted a complaint about Bondware's FORCED update to 11,2 in order to have the license remain valid, which DELETED the libraries of ALL my DAZ and other non-poser supplied content! So, I tried to use the latest DAZ Installer Manager (DIM) to reinstall those assets as I had successfully done before with previous versions of Poser 10 and 11 and it will no longer work. I get the feeling that Bondware is trying to make it difficult to use any DAZ characters or content sold by DAZ in current (and probably future) poser versions -- in an underhanded attempt to force users into using ONLY the inferior native Poser characters. While La Femme has gone through some improvements over the months and more merchant content is being sold now, in my opinion, she still can't directly compete with even the tired, old, V4 in terms of photo-realism. La Femme Pro 1.1 still has unnatural looking round shoulders and a neck base with no apparent collar bones or neck details -- at least not without having to buy some additional character morphs that might have these details. V4 has a more realistic body as-is even before adding a high-res skin or Morphs ++. So Bondware should focus on better models instead of underhanded tactics if they want to compete with a 15 year-old DAZ model.

So on to the main comment: A new problem starting with Poser 11.2, when manually installing DAZ content (because Poser won't play nice with the DIM anymore) all content shows up in the Library as individual folders, EACH named Content. You have to click on that folder to see the content's name one level down. Pretty frustrating when there are over one hundred different items all with the same name! Yes, DAZ content has an extra folder named Content before the Runtime folder, which stuff bought here and every other place I've bought from over the years doesn't have. But previous versions of Poser knew that and correctly listed the item's name in the Library whether it was installed automatically with the DIM or manually as I'm forced to do now. So now I have to go through my entire DAZ collection of well over 100 items and delete the content folder in each one -- while also keeping the original one -- for when I eventually switch to DS that probably needs the content folder for proper installation. I wouldn't at all be surprised if Bondware pulls even more crap with future forced updates (you won't be able to use it unless you update) that totally bans the use of any content they don't approve.

When I first heard that Renderosity was buying Poser from SM I was very happy. I've always liked buying products here and would have bought my DAZ stuff here too if it had been available. Renderosity sure sells plenty of stuff for DAZ characters and the DS app so it makes no sense to me why they would partner with Bondware to essentially drive long-time Poser users away. I hate learning new apps and have so far suffered along with Poser's recent unreasonable changes because it was easier than learning DS. However, I do have DS installed and am slowly learning it because I see that most of the best artists at various digital art forums (like 98%) have been using DS for years. Maybe Bondware bought Poser for a tax write-off as they drive it into the ground, by forcing users to update or you can't use it and essentially forbid the use of DAZ models but offer no native models that can compete. I hope they don't hurt Renderosity in the process...
