I have got several pz3 files off the web (priest, and molder)that won't work properly and I don't know how to fix them. They look good, but when I save them they only save, the pants or the shirt, not all the figures that make up the image...how do I resolve this...?

Only the latest version 4.02 will save combined figures to the libraries. The 4.02 patch is available from curious lab's web site

I went to Curious and tried to get the update to work, but when I run it it says that it can't find the old file so it won't do the update for me. Should I uninstall and reinstall or what? I did a install over the top of the old one, but it didn't work either. The combined figure function did work for me at but has subsequently been corrupted I think.

I think the automatic patch only works on a fresh install of Poser, i.e. uninstall and delete everything, then reinstall and patch. I like the manual patch, you just copy the files from the unpacked patch into the corresponding sub-folders in your Poser folder.

Oh, backup anything in your runtime folder that you've made or downloaded, if you decide to uninstall. :)

Mahalo for your good advice..I did ininstall and reinstall and it worked ok, the patch says it works...also I had put Poser in a directory (aaaaaposer) right at the top of the tree so I could acess it easy with expolrer..the autodownled feature of some of the models didn't like this and i had to do manual installs.. now I've got it in programsmetastreamposer4 where it wants to be...no use fighting city hall..thanks again... john

As to the original queery- The PZ3 file isn't saving that info, or is it a new CR2 file not saving it, ie you're saving it to your Characters library?

Yes, It was not saving it correctly when I resaved it, I guess to a to a Cr file as you suggest. Now it works with the multiple figure pz3s, asking me nicely if I want to save just the figure feature or the whole bunch. The thing that throws me off is that it was working properly I thought at one point, but somehow got corrupted. John
