I installed SR3 yesterday and notices that now all png thumbs in the library are shown up as empty circles? (No, not that shoulder shrugging guy!)
Has anyone got a solution or am I only a little bit dump?

Any hint appreciated !

This sounds very odd. Can you tell what happens when you go in the library with your favourite image viewer and look at the PNGs? On my machine here (with SR3 installed), all the PNGs in the library are fine.

Hi Uli, nothing special when I use any other viewer or graphic program. The png's are quite alright. By the way, I haven't changed anything at my system.

Demon, what version of Poser 5 are you running, English or German?

Do the PNGs still have their alpha channel?

I haven't had the chance to install SR3 yet, also waiting to see what happens when you do.

Anywhoo, this is nothing new to P5. It's been doing this to my library thumbs since I installed it.

I haven't installed SR3 yet, but on very rare occasions I experience downloaded PNGs which don't show (often seem to be 24bit cols - not the usual 32bit) Best solution I've found is to use P3d0 Explorer to convert them all into RSRs, and then let Poser 5 reconvert them back to PNGs automatically when the folder is next opened.

Demon, iamonk, can you post your system specs? I wonder if you're having something in common.

It seems like P5 tampers with the PNG, at one point the icons would show, but they become blank squares with that oval in the center.
I open them in PSP7 and check for an alpha channel, but there isn't one.
It is always a PNG with the entire background filled.
I just give it some transparency and it works fine.

Sorry folks, I'm a little late, but poser is only a hobby for me. I'm runnig the english version of poser 5 on a 2200+ Athlon with 2GB RAM DDR with XP Pro, so I think it has nothing to do with the gui, what I first expected. I checked the library and realised that only some of the customized pngs were corrupted.(I've got a lot of them after playing around for 3 years now!) Seems to be that SR3 doesn't tolerate png's with a special size and without transparency! I tried that '3PO-thing' and it worked. Afterwards I have converted the files with only one pixel transparency and now here we are again: it works !(Also double sized pngs) Thank you folks !
