Any bruising should be reported to your Doctor if you didn't know how it got there.

"Where" exactly do you want to move them to? If you want to move them to another runtime folder somewhere else on your machine, it is as dRaCX said: as long as you point the library to look in that location for those files, Poser will find them.

However, if I'm reading you correctly several questions come to mind. Why would you want to put a conforming dress in 'Props'? Why would you move these files out of the directories where Poser is set up to look for them? You CAN create textures and either leave them in the Materials library as .mc6 files, or you can put them in the Pose library as .pz2 files but you have to edit them and change 'mtlCollection' at the top (that is an .mc6) to 'figure' and then do a Save As filename.pz2. Pretty sure you can change 'figure' back to 'mtlCollection' and Save As an filename.mc6. But that's a LOT of work if you're moving very many files. And what if you mess up? I don't understand why you would want to do this, Dreamer.

Poser has an internal command set that tells it where to look for certain files and if you start moving them around to where they're not supposed to be, it won't find them.
As to the why posers library set up dose not make a lot of sense to me and it is the one thing I miss from DS. Also from my point of view a dress is not a "character" it is a "prop" and when you end up with 100+ clothing items in the Characters folder it can get a bit hard to find things after a while :)
As to poser having a hissy fit over it, so far so good and as I am taking my time I am not too worried about stuffups

It only doesn't make sense because you're used to using DAZ. If you were used to using Poser, then it would make sense. A conforming dress is an object (.obj) that has been changed into a Character (.cr2). Props are objects that have been turned into .pp2's. Objects can be either props or characters, but you have to have a geometry for a character.

If you get an error when you try to load something that says "This is not a valid Poser file" that means you inadvertently stripped something out of the file. It could just be a single "{" and that would do it. It's real easy to do, even when you think you're being careful. After doing a few, I'd stop and go into Poser and test it out before proceeding any further...if it were me doing it.

Yes you can move cr2 files to the props folder without any problems. 3rd party content creators save them that way because they think that only rigged meshes will execute from that location. This is simply not true however.

Pay close attention to the command line in the image...doesn't matter what folder it's called from as long as you don't change the location of the mesh and textures.

That being said though...I do agree that you shouldn't try and make Poser work like Daz. Two entirely different animals.

If memory serves, Clothing was a sub-folder of 'Figures' in Poser 5 wasn't it dRacX? So it's been that way at least since P5.

 I honestly don’t remember when users were able to create custom subfolders but yes, there is a “Clothing” subfolder within Poser’s library located by default in “Props.” You can also create your own clothing subfolder within “Figures.” Poser 6 and 7 have the clothing subfolder in “Figures” or at least mine does.
 
Yes….I kept all of my old software versions…I’m odd that way. They were the bomb back in the day "as the kids say."

We have all our older versions as well, surprisingly though I do not recall the sub folder must have been blind that day :tearlaugh:
