Hi,
Sitting with Poser 5 on Mac and I have Poser 4 on the PC. It is to slow on the Mac so I'm trying to adjust until I get Poser 5 for PC, or a faster Mac, but to be able to use P-Wizard important too.

I looked for the cr2 files of Don and there was only crz. I haven't tried it for Poser 4, but do not believe it would work, and as for P-Wizard as target cr2 for my conforming clothing I want to make for Don.

Is there a way to edit/convert the crz files into cr2 files or other workaround if anyone understand me?

Thanks,

Snekkis

The easiest way to uncompress Don is to save him to the library as a new character, make sure you turn off compression under General Preferences first tho ;)

An even easier way is described in the Poser 5 Mac readme: "Poser 5 includes the ability to save compressed runtime files and scene files using "zlib compression". This compression will significantly reduce the size of your runtime directory and save valuable hard drive space. These compressed files will act identically to non-compressed runtime files when used in Poser 5. To enable file compression, select EDIT>GENERAL PREFERENCES and check the "Save Compressed Files" option. Poser 5 will open both compressed and non-compressed files, but writes compressed files using specific file extensions. Compressed Poser 5 files can be opened by users running Poser 4 with Pro Pack or later. Zlib compression is similar to gzip and zip compression methods, and can typically be uncompressed by any utility (such as StuffIt) that handles either of these formats. For more information on zlib, please refer to http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/zlib/. To uncompress a file, change the extension on the file you wish to access to .GZ, then run your decompression utility. Alternatively, you can use the included PoserPython decompression script by launching Poser and opening the Python Scripts window."

if you transfer the compressed files to the pc first you can use winrar to decompress them

oh and I found a slight glitch when I did almost exactly what you want to do.....for some reason the compressed face files (fcz) even once they are decompressed keep the extension fcz but I just used a batch renamer to change the extension to fc2 after I had decompressed them and they worked perfectly

In the Python folder within Poser 5 there are scripts that will decompress/compress the files within a folder.
