pose location in app list

I can download poses from DB, and it appears as expected on my Windows folder
But in the app itself the list the entries are fixed, so how do I find the pose I just downloaded? Under which item?

If you are using the recommended method (via the MakeHuman application community tab), the pose file should automatically be placed in the correct directory and appear under the MakeHuman application Pose/Animate, Pose tab.

If you are downloading the bvh file using a browser download, then following this outline:

the file should be put in the user directory: makehuman/<version>/data/poses
and then be visible when the Pose tab is reloaded.

Perhaps the disadvantage is that you can't highlight new downloaded items. The recently downloaded ones are placed among the old ones and are not marked in any way.

MakeHuman provides some file sorting functions. At least it should be possible to sort the assets by modification time. Feel free to create a feature request on GitHub.

Not sure I understood the answer
If I download a pose from community tab a new folder is created under ..../data/poses with bvh file in it
If I go to poses tab I might find it in the list but it should fall into one of existing entries, there is no indication for it as far as I could see
If I go to files tab and choose load and this directory, nothing appears in file chooser window

I don't understand what this means.

Does the pose appear at all in the list of available poses, on the pose/animate -> pose tab? If it does, what is it you want to be different?

Maybe it would help if you added a screenshot showing the problem.

Gone back to pose tab
The list is as it was, I know the new pose appears in one of entries, but how do I know where?

The pose should be installed automatically after downloading. No additional steps are required.

Apparently some kind of bug.

You can try to install manually, but this is not a very elegant solution.
