    Why one click?  No offense intended but no need to be 'lazy' because you'd normally only follow this procedure once. And it's dead easy...

    First make sure you created a folder somewhere which you want to use as a new Daz library, either for Daz or Poser formats (or both). Then...

    • Right click on the content library pane, select the option "Content directory manager".
    • In this new screen you'll see several sections, focus on "DAZ Studio Formats" and "Poser Formats", those will probably matter the most.
    • Select a category, then click the now available "Add" button (left side).
    • Point the dialog to the previously created folder... and you're done.

    Generally speaking I'd add such a folder to both categories; both Daz Studio & Poser but you should obviously do what suits your situation the best.

    But yah, why even bother with scripts and all when you can easily follow these steps and maintain full control over what's happening?

    Thank you for your help my friend. Generally speaking I have no problem in managing my content library , and what I trying to do is making some shorcut for my assets and make them more easy to explore .  

    I have making my categories and put my assets into it . But I want it to be a bit more visualization , I hope I can get to my asset by cliciking on a preview image rather than swim through thousands  of subfolders to find what I want .

    I'm trying to achieve this by putting dsa  into  categories folders and assign assets images for them instead of subfolders. 

    What in my imagine is , I cilck on my categories , assets shows on the  right window , I click on the assets image  I want , scripts helping me navigate to where it is in content library , that's it.

    Anyway , thank you for youre help my friend.
