I need something that goes through all the runtime files and checks for orphan .obj files, then gives me the option of deleting them. Is there anything like this?

I would be very interested in this too...

There was talk some time back that the next version of Correct Reference would would have such capability and, probably be a commercial product but I've heard nothing of it for some months. Such a utility would be high on my wish list as well.....

Try these. Separate scripts for PP2, CR2, PZ3. They don't work on the newer compressed forms, though.

Thanks Ockham. Do Python scripts work in P4?

No, not in plain (pre-Propack) P4.

Can these be used with the standalone Python? I know Daz's Morphos can, which allows us ol' P4 users to use the script. Worth a try.

No, these depend on the Poser runtime. I might be inclined to rewrite the extractor as a plain Win EXE, though. The Poser connection isn't really crucial to this action; it just saves time by looking first in the most likely place, which is the presently active Runtime.

Aw shoot. It was worth a try. (But if you could rewrite it to work with the standalone, I know myself and a TON of others would be forever in your debt. ;)

I didn't realize anybody was operating that way.... seemed sort of "inelegant". Rewriting the scripts to run free-standing took me a total of 5 minutes, so maybe it's not so inelegant after all. Three scripts and a readme in the ZIP. I tried the CR2 extractor, but didn't try the others. Be forewarned...... In order to make the free-standing version work as much like the regular as possible, the script needs to be residing in the same directory with Poser.exe when you run it.

I may be wrong, but it looks like your scripts do the opposite of what I was looking for... It looks like they read all the files and log the missing bits. I was hoping for something that would read all the files in the geometries folder and flag the ones that are not linked to by a cr2/pp2/etc or an I wrong. Regardless, pretty useful scripts of yours.

Great utilities......thanks

I used the cr2 and the pp2 ones and all is well....

I tried the pz3 one and it just sends poser off into never never land......hmmmmmm

Why does it change format from c:programs to / after pose 5 ?????

Maybe this is why I am having trouble with the pz3 one.....I (we) have the type in the whole path.....so I dont know what to use..... or ////////??????

Any Help?????

"I was hoping for something that would read all the files in the geometries folder and flag the ones that are not linked to by a cr2/pp2/etc" Aha! That is the opposite. In fact, I'd been wanting this action too, but didn't want it quite badly enough to write a script for it. I'll work on this idea, with the 'freestanding' in mind.

Agreed, the PZ3 form is rather inconvenient. Because PZ3's can be anywhere, I couldn't use the runtime as a base for the filename. It definitely wants forward / slashes.

OK thanks for the info....should I use forward / for the whole path or just from the end of Poser 5???????
This is the part Im confused on......in the log file it shows back slash up to poser 5 then forward / after that.

Hope im not confusing you with this but it has me confused hehehehhe

Thanks again

The log file does produce a confused form. For the input, just use forward slashes.
