I opened some .rsr and other text only files to read them, but forgot to uncheck the "always use this program for these files". Now all of them are wordpad files. Does this effect the file itself? If so, how do I change them back to normal? Help! Thanks.

Assuming you didn't try to save the files after looking at them, they should be fine. Rsr's are binary files and you really shouldn't mess with them in a text editor. To change the file associations, open any folder and goto the view menu -> folder options and look at the file types tab. From there you can change the associated program for each file type from wordpad back to Poser. I don't think having them under wordpad will affect their functionality in Poser, just the display in Windows Explorer.

It will not change anything in poser or effect poser in any way. Its really not a text file its kind of a graphics file. Once you change it you can only change it to some other type and since there really is no type its probly best to leave it like it is. Ok I kind of lied there is a way to unassociate it but its a pain in the rump to do. You have to install a program that has its own file type then asssociate it with that program then delete it from your computer.

You should be able to remove the Wordpad association by simply selecting the appropriate (rsr) file type in the file types tab and clicking 'Remove.' After that, the files will show up in Explorer as simply "rsr file." This worked for me in testing. Poser is kind of schizophreniz, using the rsr extention for two different file types, rsr are used for thumbnail images in Poser 4 and also for compressed geometry files (the rsr files in the geometries folder).

Beforethayit wasn't associated with anything. Poser only associates .pz3 files with itself, as the rest are loaded in through the library manager. But yeah, just disassociate it. It won't make any differene either way. lMckenzie: depends on the text editor. If your text editor is a code editor and recognises it as a binary, you're generally fine saving it, but you should know what you're doing before you try to hack the thing. B^)

"If your text editor is a code editor and recognises it as a binary, you're generally fine saving it..." Correct. He specifically mentioned Wordpad though - definitely a no-no for binary files.

yupyup. I recommend vim (www.vim.org) for editing any Poser files. It doesn't have a filesize limit (or maybe it has a 2GB one), it's easy on the system, there's an OLE version available, and it does syntax colouration for I've made a Poser file and Wavefront OBJect syntax colouration definition.
