Hi!  Would you like to share your preferences with me?  I would like to know if your prefer to have Base skin presets plus Make-up presets plus Lips presets all in the same Folder or Do you prefer each of them in a separate folder?

Thanks in advance for your help!smiley

    It's nice to have them arranged in seperate folders but more importantly please be sure to include a no brow skin and not just a LIE preset to remove brows already added to the base skin or even worse no option at all!

    I agree with the no brow option since I only use fibermesh brows from now on. As for the folders, I prefer everything in one folder as long as it's labeled well. It may look more professional have the seperate folders, but I don't care to keep opening folders to find what I need to click. I assume with smart content the proccess is layed out differently, but I never use smart content.

    I think you are going to get a lot of answers each way smiley. I personally prefer folders to organize content, however as long as they labels are done well so that when the items are sorted alphabetically related items are together, then I don't mind them all being in the same folder.

    Thanks to all of you for your feedback! I am going to create folders for each group of presets.

    Edited:  I prefer to see everything in one place; but in this new product I added so many options that I think is a good idea to organize them in separate folders as some of you and the QA tester suggested.  I just want to be sure this is not a major issue for most of the users.

    Personally I prefer them in one folder - less clicking and hunting otherwise. But I may be in the minority there. lol

    What I do when I have a lot of options in one folder is to create Brightly Colored TIP files as spacers to keep things more organized - it's easier to navigate, imo:

    Either method is fine with me, as long as everything is easy to find and well labled.

    If you put them in seperate folders then people who like them all together can just select the folder above and Daz Studio displays all icons in the sub folders together so you please everyone ;-)

    Huh? I think we're thinking of two different things - it doesn't do that for me with Content Library folders.

  • GoggerGogger Posts: 2,507

    I generally prefer a single directory, or at least fewer directories, but what KILLS me is small, or dark icons. UGH! They're the WORST!

    For those of us who use smart content, it doesn't matter how many folders you put them in - they all get lumped in together regardless. Even the "tips" icons (ie ones that will say "Eye Colours", "Lashes Colours" etc) are lumped in together so we have no idea what it what, and have to go buy either the filenames (ie EyeColour01, EyeColour02) or what the icons show. It's unfortunate, particularly in products where you have to apply things in order. 

    If i was using manual and Content Library, I'd LOVE the separate folders. Eye colours, brows, lashes, nails, skin etc in separate folders. laugh

    I'm a Content Library user myself because I hated the lumping in "Smart" Content.

    Seperation is the way to go!

  • nicsttnicstt Posts: 11,715

    no brow yes; although I remove it myself as it is simple enough.

    Not bothered either way about serparate folders.

    Loathe and avoid the not smart content.

  • MelanieLMelanieL Posts: 7,791

    I prefer separate folders too - I normally use Smart Content for characters/materials but even so I generally go vis the Product view and I like to be able to just find the base skin or an eye colour without scrolling through masses of makeup options.

    Putting a lot of stuff in one folder can make some things "disappear",  because DS may split the list into several pages. I was just wondering why I couldn't find Victoria 7 in the Characters folder, then I noticed that the last characters there started with "S" and remembered the page split thing. After increasing the number of items per page V7 and the rest of the characters showed up. Has happened before, and there are probably some out there who aren't even aware of this at all.

    This.

    I don't use Smart Content, and I prefer separate folders.

     

  • Virtual_WorldVirtual_World Posts: 1,102

    Thanks to all for the information provided.  I think that I took the right decision of separating them in different folders. 
    I don’t use Smart Content either even when I think is a good feature.
