jschoen, it is not an AppleScript... :-) ScottA, besides many other things, Maconverter directly creates the preview thumbnails from the .rsr files, so there is no need to re-save them. This is not only convenient (especially with custom made thumbnails), it also preserves some library files with manually edited .obj links that will get merged on re-saving. If your Poser accepts library files without the converter, then you probably either use the good olde AppleScripts, or you adjusted your InternetConfig to deal with Poser's file zoo. It might be worth giving the converter a try, because it turns the whole business into a "one drag, one click" job. Don't get me wrong (I really don't want to promote myself), but I recently read an advice somewhere on the net that people should not try any converter, because they might as well open each single file individually with ResEdit and set the codes manually... well, if anyone prefers that sort of fundamentalism it's perfectly fine, but it should not be published as a general advice... :-) Cheers, MartinC
