How do you get scattered content folders in to one zip ?

  You just need to copy over the right folders, keeping the relative folder structure, to a new folder then zip that up.

  (This is why, when creating a new product, I put all the files in a separate directory (e.g. 'Temp 1') and then when the product is ready, I just need to zip up the content folder therein).

  If you look at a product zip from Daz, it'll give you an idea of the folder structure (Content > data, Content > Props, Content > Runtime > Textures, etc) - make sure to keep the same relative structure as you saved the product in.

  Venders have there content in scattered folders. Daz content folders are scattered . How do you get them all in one zip file ? So you can distribute them . I'm using windows 10. Thanks.

  There is an older program called Content Gatherer that still works very well with the latest DS and G8 files (among others). It will do the job with just a few button clicks. You select the file (e.g. a character preset), scan for all lnked files (morphs, textures etc), you then check what files you do or don't actually want (can be done with one click), then export it as a zip. Folder structures remain intact and you are left with a single zip. Easy peasy.
  There is a newer program called Content Wizard but I don't know if that does what you're after. Might be worth a look.

  Silent Winter's suggestion of using a temp library is also great and has many uses but without stuff getting 'lost' in your main library.
