Base folder alias in DS Poser Library

Taoz

In the DS Poser Library there seem to be these default base folders:

Camera
Figures (character, characters) ("Figures" itself doesn't seem to be used at all, at least I haven't found any instances - does it actually work)?
Expressions
Hair
Hands (hand, hands)
Light
Materials
Pose
Props
Scene

Some of them however seem to have some alias folder names that are used or will work for content paths (e.g. Hands: runtime/library/hand | runtime/library/hands).

I've added those I know above but do any of the other folders have valid aliases also?  I'm working on some code that's supposed to detect the Poser library paths used in data files so it's important that it gets all possible variants.

Expressions = Face

Expressions = Face

OK, thanks.  Is "expressions" itself used or valid?

In DS the following folders display the following names (first entry is the folder name on disk, second is how it is displayed in DS):

Character = Figures

Face = Expressions

Hand = Hands

The other folders display name matches folder name.

Hm, yes, that looks correct.  Just scanned 6900+ manifest files, removing all duplicate matches, and got the list below.  It looks like I was mistaken about "hand(s)" and "character(s)", the matches I got for these in a simple Explorer search appear to be from DAZ Library paths only.  They do not appear in any runtime/libraries/*/ paths.  A lot of misplaced folders do, though...

Yes, except for the 10 special folders all the rest are invisible.

Those misplaced folders are usually used to contain the morph files ... they should be in "Runtime\Libraries\Morphs", but even Daz (see !daz ), didn't follow the rules. Don't move them!!!!!!!!! or else your pose files that are looking for those morphs aren't going to work anymore.

Thanks, I don't intend to move anything though, just collecting data, so no problem.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the Morphs folder wasn't added until after the release of figures using the !DAZ folder.

OK, I don't remember when that one was added.

It's ok, they are working ...
