Does Poser have anything like categories like DS does? Where you don't have to more the products you just create a category that points to where the product actually is. I think if I actually move the files that it would then break them for DS. I use both programs.

I have tons of products that I never use because it is so hard to find them. Would be nice to organize. If there is no feature like that it would be nice idea for a future update to Poser.

No. You have to organize stuff by putting them into folders. You can't change the locations of Textures or Geometries but library items can be moved around.

There is also the favorites option. You can create catigorized shortcuts there.

Okay! Thanks!

The best way to do that is developing separate runtimes, and just loading what you need. If you don't have very much content, it doesn't matter.

When you have a couple of TB of content, it matters. (Don't ask how I know this, just trust me on this.....)

Do NOT pile everything into Poser's core run-time, that way lies madness and disaster.

My last mega-runtime was P4, its crash & partial loss --Despite 'Backups' !!-- teaching a hard lesson...

Instead, leave the C: install mostly as-is and use the 'external runtime' facility. Build stand-alone tree(s) of 'holding folders' to which you link Poser's library as required, un-link later.

Unless part of a set or series, like add-on props or textures, I un-zip / un-RAR each model's pack to its own 'holding' folder. That gets a 'meaningful' name, the zip/RAR, the pack's run-time & notes, a web-link to source, some 'editorial' pics and my nice 350x350 'folder.JPG' as a finder guide.

As appropriate, this 'holding' folder also gets OBJ/MTL or otherwise 'tamed' meshes I've 'ripped' from model PP2 or DSF, FBX, PMX, XPS etc etc...

As these 'holding' folders are self-contained, they may be moved around without a problem, re-grouped, even duplicated. ( License permitting...)

So, if you have an 'Ancient Egyptian', 'Medieval', or 'SciFi' project, is easy to gather the makings to a 'WIP' area. Also, if your model archive has grown like ruddy kudzu, is easy to split across multiple drives.

After nearly two decades of CAD and Poser, I've upwards of ~2½ TB of 'stuff' in 'holding' folders spread across three 'live' PC data-drives, one a slide-mount. They've NAS back-ups, too...
