The only cases where this does not work (as far as I can tell) is when the
download is already baked into an install .exe. This is often the case for
Daz downloads. Then you can only install into the proper Poser application.
Good luck, Stephen!

It is not just luck I'll need, it's also application. This will be a largish job
and I promise that I'll do it as soon as I finish this scene. Just one more
chapter and I'll put the light out Mum :-)

I used to have all my Poser stuff in one runtime libaray. It was a big mess.
And Poser was taking a long time to load. When I got a new computer, I took
a better approach. Since most of my Poser stuff is downloaded, I found it
easiest to just reinstall (for DAZ stuff) or unzip (for other stuff) into
new runtimes that were categorized. Similar to Thomas, a runtime for
animals, etc. I wouldn't attempt to do this by moving files around. It'll
take forever, and will be error prone. So, if you still have your downloads
stashed somewhere, use them. The DAZ installers let you choose a destination
directory, so its not a problem.
Cheers, Janet

Oh, that is good news! From their installer I got the impression that you
could only install in the main Runtime of Poser or D|S, not in an external
Runtime! Thank you!

Funnily enough, neither would I :-)

After reading about this option I have decided to uninstall Poser, move all
my work files, and delete all the addins. Then I will reinstall Poser and
organise the downloads as you and Thomas have suggested.
current workflow, as my main objective is working with Bishop3D, a new
modeller. The excursion into Poser is to create actors for a scene. I
recently downloaded a lot of free clothes and figures and my Runtime
directory structure is a mess. Clothes mixed with figures and props. I know

Do you (or anyone) have advice on how to build the directory structure?
I've just upgraded to Poser 7 and starting afresh - finally :)

Just back in business again (took somewhat longer than expected to be online
once more...).
Stephen, except for the runtime directories which are generated from the
downloads and which I should not meddle with, everything else (above the
runtime level that is) is up to you. It means that you can have several
different runtimes in different directories. For instance, in a directory
'Figures' you could generate a sub-directory 'Apollo', another 'Animals', or
yet another 'Aliens', etc. The same for hair, or props. Each sub-directory
would contain a runtime in which the downloads would write their specific
stuff, or where you can write your own creations in Poser. Hm, not sure if I
made myself clear...

Hi Thomas, I hope that your move was not too traumatic.
I tried a slightly different method from you and maybe from Janet. I created a
separate directory for each figure and installed the downloads in there with
their runtime structure. That way I have all the clothes, props and materials
etc. for that figure in one library. I was going to report back on how that
worked but I've developed an aversion to using my laptop due to the noise of the
fans. Oh! Dear, more expense and I've finished my contract at Philips.
Regards
Stephen

It went rather smoothly to tell the truth, although the week before and the
week after the move were the most hectic and tiring. Won't do that too often
:-) But everything is fine now and we are enjoying ourselves.

Yes, that is a good way to tackle things too I guess. Most important is that
it works for your specific case and workflow.
I agree about laptops. The noise is often irritating indeed.
Any plans after Philips?

I'l try it and see, it might take a year or so but I report back

I'm using my noise reduction headphones, I hope that helps.
>Any plans after Philips?
The only two jobs I've applied for to date, are in the Netherlands. One in
Maastricht the other in Geleen in the South East.
