Maconvertor by MartinC ... There is a export to PC option and that makes it all good.

You probably won't have to convert them, not as long as you have png's to go along with your cr2's, pz2 etc. Poser 5 on the mac will open pc-files without any conversion so it should work the other way around too.

thanks guyys I was assuming that but you know what happens when you assume! Thanks a lot woooo hooooooooo!

Poser 5 on the mac will open pc-files without any conversion so it should work the other way around too. Unfortunately, this is not a safe assumption, I think seaturtle will need to use the MacConverter for quite a few files. The story is: Poser <=4 on Windows require two files to store the same data that Poser 1-4 on MacOS store in one file. The MacOS' file system HFS(+) divides files in the data fork and the resource fork. Since the Windows file sytems FAT16 and FAT32 do not have anything like a resource fork, Poser 4 on Windows is using .rsr files which simply contain a copy of the resource fork. Enter ProPack: Content created in ProPack and Poser 5 do not use the resource fork nor do they use .rsr files. Instead, they rely on png image files for preview pictures and don't need resources for obj files any more. However, most of the content you have on your hard drive was designed with Poser 4 compatibility in mind, which means for Mac users that these files use their resource fork. Copying these files to a Windows hard drive will make them lose their resource fork ,and with it, you will lose all the preview pictures. Poser 5 on Windows should be smart enough to use those files nonetheless, in contrast to Poser 4 (I admit that I haven't tried), but you will see the shrugging guy instead of the proper previews in your library. seaturtle, use MacConverter, With it, you'll be on the safe side.

So, as I've never even been CLOSE to a Mac... When you make an RSR with P3DOExplorer, you only make a thumbnail, right? No knives or forks in it, is there? In other words is an RSR always an RSR? (not speaking of the ones in Geometries, I know they're a different kind)

Macs keep stuff like thumbnails, file types and so on in the resource fork for all files - it's how they work, where a PC uses the bit after the dot (or the last dot in Windows 9x on) to identify the file type and leaves any other bits up to the application to amange (well, except that we can have the info under Properties>Summary with Windows 9x and later). "Fork" is like of a branch or a road - there are two strands of data, the file itself and the resource. Some Mac files come in with a string of gibberish at the front when opened on the PC, and for Poser 4 that has to be deleted if the creator hasn't dealt with it.
