Hello fellow Poser Users,

I'm sure you have already noticed what I am about to describe.

I installed the new version of Poser a few days ago and downloaded the content also.
This new content is automatically installed into the Included folder.

I really think this folder in as necessary as a third leg.
We already have a Downloads folder, whom I didn't use either.

I like to have all things related to a figure in the same folder, at least in the same runtime.
The way it is now, I have to search in two runtimes and in each runtime also in two or more folders to find the Item I like to use.
A prominent example is the LaFemme character, pose and material folder.

LaFemme is part of the Poser Product since Poser 11 and I kept those runtime files as my main runtime.
With each update this older files got overwritten but the original structure stayed intact.
Until Poser 13 and it's new feature >>Purchases<< came along.

If there is a reason for having Poser 11, Poser 12, Poser 13 and Poser 13 Included runtimes installed, please tell me.
I considere it a waste of time and disk space.
To my knowledge, the files in question are identical.
Ontop of all, some items are hidden in sub-folders or two LaFemme folder are sitting next to each other in the same library folder. Why?

So I manually search for the doubles and merge all runtime folders to one complete Poser 13 Runtime.

Would be interesting to know if someone else made similar experiences and it might be worth to file a ticket to the help desk.

Have a nice sunday and greetings from Germany!
