Ok, I'm super big on keeping things organized. Of course I let things go a bit, but that's beside the point. I have noticed that after rezzing a box and copying or moving the items to my inventory, the box still remains in my objects folder. If I delete the box in my objects folder, the products that I copied or moved into my inventory still should be there right? Seems stupid to me that it wouldn't, but I didn't want to delete it just in case, the objects folder is getting a bit out of hand. Also, another ridiculous question........how many pose stands do you need? Seriously, can't use one pose stand for adjusting anything or are there specifics to use the ones supplied with the object?

Once you have a copy of the items in a box, no you don't need teh box anymore.
However, due to database failures, a lot of us keep them as backups.
TIP:: To reduce backup clutter, created a cube prim and name it "BACKUP STORAGE". Put all boxed items into this prim. This way, it only counts as one item in your inventory. You can even put boxes within boxes, within boxes. It only depends on how far you want to organise your organiser ^.^
And yes, since SL puts anything it can't figure out what it is into the OBJECTS folder by default, it's always good to keep this folder empty. I created a "MY OBJECTS" folder to move things out of the default one, if I feel the items need catagorised by that means.

From: Stormy Dyrssen I have noticed that after rezzing a box and copying or moving the items to my inventory, the box still remains in my objects folder. If I delete the box in my objects folder, the products that I copied or moved into my inventory still should be there right? Yes, they will still be there, but it's often a good idea to keep the boxes for copyable items, in case SL decides to eat the existing version or you have some difficulty editing. From: someone Seems stupid to me that it wouldn't, but I didn't want to delete it just in case, the objects folder is getting a bit out of hand. Rez a new prim and toss all the boxes in there, then take the 'packed' prim back into inventory. From: someone Also, another ridiculous question........how many pose stands do you need? Seriously, can't use one pose stand for adjusting anything or are there specifics to use the ones supplied with the object? Just one. When you get a new one, you might see if you like the pose better, but otherwise, you can toss them. Or get a MystiTool, which will rez a pose stand for you, without you needing to carry one around in inv.
