My pose library has swollen to 240 folders and already sluggish at times. Too many mat files is a big factor, some of the smaller pose folder contents can be slotted into other folders but I'm not sure about the mats. Question is there are a lot of freebie Vicki mats etc always hard to locate and forgotten with their filenames. Would I be on the right track to start a new folder named "my v2 mats" or similiar and then insert these files into it, afterwards deleting the now empty folders? Some expert advice would sure be appreciated right now. Thanks, Tommy.

Get Poserbooost in the Marketplace. It's inexpensive, and hogwarden provides excellent support. I posted a thread, which likely deals with an earlier version. But it should show enough to whet your appetite. If you have further questions, just send hogwarden an instant message.

P-Boost is an excellent program - he put a free program in Freestuff to test your system - there's a small group whose systems have a problem with a feature or two, but running that test program will tell you - then you can check with him to figure out if those features will cause a problem - he's really pretty great about customer support - eager to resolve any problems. To answer your question more directly, however; Yes, you can move any library files (don't forget the icon - has the same name, but the extension is PNG or RSR) to another folder in the same library - I do it all the time, or I'd have over 780 folders under props alone. Poser has real problems when you get close to 250 folders - really big problems when you exceed 255 or 256. You can use Windows explorer or just about any good file manager to move the files - I like the free P3d0 program, as it will display Poser thumbnails as graphics. One problem to look out for; If you're consolidating Character or prop folders, be careful moving files if there are OBJ or texture files. This usually means the files were made in ProPak, and whoever made them didn't bother changing them over to standard Poser organization - If you move such files, they won't be able to find the OBJs or textures unless you "hack" (manually edit) the CR2s or PP2s.

Hiya... Thanks everyone for recommending my app... (Maybe I should have chosen a more memorable name... but it's actually "PBooost" LOL) Must let you all know that the next version (coming soon) will allow full compatability with XP under NTFS. It seems a bug in Poser itself is locking the library folders under certain circumstances. If any current PBooost users (with XP/NTFS) have the problem where they can switch banks for a while and then get the error "a program other than Poser is using the folders"... help is at hand. There is a temp workaround which involves editing the some cr2's etc... if you need details, let me know. Please note that this doesn't help if you're on FAT32... that's a case of "it either works all the time or not at all". Does this make sense?? H:)

OOOPs, my middle-aged, adle-brained memory struck again... wrong name for the program. Yes, I've been thrilled with PBooost and hogwarden (Howard) from the start. I'm absolutely thrilled that Howard has been able to lick that pesky bandk-switching bug.
