Why would anybody mess with the locations of the objs unless they need to? (for example, that information is embedded inside the cr2 in many Japanese models). For finding stuff inside your libraries, you don't even see the objs. That isn't what is clogging up your system. You can easily move your characters and props and such around even in Poser 4 as long as you keep account of the extension so that it matches the name of the folder it is in (cr2s in the Character folder and fc2s in the Faces folder, etc.) This is why MAT poses can go under Cameras and Lights and Hands... the maker puts the right extension on them and then hides the little suckers. (And yes, I was disconcerted to find a MAT pose folder in my Cameras because I do keep a tidy Runtime with minimal poses.) If the hair is under props or under hair in the Libraries it doesn't matter... it will go looking for the obj in the Geometries folder... which is a whole separate arrangement. Scrolling is a pain, so I don't allow any folder to have more than 100 items (this allows for the rsrs or pngs). I doubt if you need PBoooost. You may want to get Correct Reference, however, because it will find and fix wrong paths. Carolly
