Hi again! Nice and fresh after having breakfast and walking the dog... Right... first, JVRenderer... OK when you've switched banks with PBooost, immediately select the #switchBanks folder in Poser. Then the next time you click on the drop-down it will have the new content in. The #SwitchBanks folder is a safe place to park Poser after switching so it can reset and clear the library tab. Otherwise Poser gives you half a million shrugging guys... this is all in the tutorials! Re: NTFS FAT32, the tester and PBooost... 1st FAT32... on some FAT32 XP/2000 machines, something nasty in the OS locks up the Poser folders*(see below) as soon as Poser is launched. The compatability tester in freestuff can help you to ascertain this. Perhaps my wording in the blurb is not too good there... The only factor affected by the OS is the ability to switch banks while Poser is running. *'FOLDER LOCKS' My definition of a folder lock is when PBooost gives a nice error message when you try to switch banks while Poser is running. Let's explode a myth here. A folder lock does NOT mean that PBooost is a no-go. Many users on FAT32 no-go systems get along perfectly fine with PBooost by careful organistation of the banks or even moving content into a working bank on the fly rather than switching banks at all. The product feedback and my mail inbox testifies this. NTFS: Folder locks only happen on NTFS drives if Poser loads a file with an incorrect reference pointer path. Poser will instantiate a search, find the file, then leave the search object open on ther folders. This locks the folders but not their content until Poser is re-started. Using CR or the DFE will clean up the references and stop the folder locks. PBooost 1.4 will help with fixing obj references too... I've found a couple of bad ones already! Kayjay... Linda I thought everything was fine over there! You never write! You naver call! LOL! Re: Re: refunds (I'm shaking!)... Yes, of course 'Rosity has a careful refund policy if you find a product defective. I gave a refund once... But it was a ZPad Beta-tester who bought PBooost although I wanted to give it to him as a gift... are you there, Netherworks? LOL! That was a funny day. Due to the change in working methods, some people do run into problems at first, but I'm always here to explain things and help sort out problems... ... we generally get everything clear and cool after a couple of mails and screenshots. Philly there's an interesting thread on NTFS a few up from this... just to thicken the broth. Right I'd better post this before I lose it again!!! #back to furious hair pulling# Oh... the update to PBooost 1.4 will be up soon... but I have been sending the tested early beta out to people wishing to use PBooost with Poser 5.
