"...basic improvements ..." Yep, those are the usual suspects, though I don't recall hearing much clamor about the import/export options. I'm not defending CL, just trying to figure our a credible software engineering issue as opposed to sheer indifference and incompetence on their part. These issues existed even during Kupa's benevolent reign and didn't get fixed. How difficult is it to change a font? Not very in Windows or, I imagine on the Mac, if you're using OS native tools, but they're not. AFAIK, Poser 4 was developed using some hybrid, cross-platform development tools to acommodate both targets. Maybe, just maybe, what would be a simple change to a completely Windows or Mac application involves a whole lot of ripping and tearing and breaking with their system to implement the Poser 4.5 wishlist. Maybe not. Maybe they are just stupid and arrogant and lazy, but not having walked in their coding shoes, I give them the benefit of the doubt. Unless you can find some of their programmers and get them liquored up enough to talk, we'll probably never know for sure.
