The Poser library has ten different sections. Figures, Poses, Expressions, Hair, Hands, Props, Light, Camera, Materials, and Scene. See image 1 #1
It seems straightforward until you look in some of these and find hair under Figures, or materials under Poses. This is due to limitations in older versions. of Poser. Many of these limitations are gone in newer versions of Poser. Poser content can be moved to other areas in the library to help users find things easier.
Everything Poser needs to use content is located in a runtime including your library. Most things you'll find in a runtime such as geometries, textures, and morph folders that are not in the ten folders listed below shouldn't be moved.
However, the content in Camera, Character (figures), Face (expressions), Hair, Hand, Light, Material, Pose, Props, and scene can be moved interchangeably. (the highlighted ones)
The easiest way to do this is in Explorer or Finder. Drag and drop any content along with the thumbnail .png into any of the other library folders. You can create subfolders to help with organization. When you finish rearranging your library, hit the refresh button. There are two ways
to do this. You can use the circle arrow to refresh individual folders. This is good for small changes. See image 1 # 2.
Or you can use the double circle arrows at the bottom right to refresh the entire library, best for larger changes. See image 1 # 3
Some people prefer to have multiple runtimes to organize their content in a way that makes sense to them, often by figure, kind, or project. You can see a few examples in image 1 #4.
You can use the buttons in image 1 # 5 to add any folder containing the runtime structure seen in image 3. The sample is for the runtime Pauline but the top folder can be anything you want.
You can then add or move content to those folders rather than having it all in your main runtime. Textures and Geometries can be moved to new runtimes to follow their corresponding content but should stay within those folders in the new runtime.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
