Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 29 7:57 am)
Subject: Questions about the 4.03 update
Rename your "MetaCreations" folder as "Curious Labs"? I thought Poser looked for files inside of the "Poser 4" folder, more or less indifferent to the name of the folder in which "Poser 4" is located. Am I wrong?

No. The default path for the program is : c:Program FilesMetaCreationsPoser4 with a shortcut named MetaCreations in the Start->Programs menu. Where you can start Poser. When Patch #4.03 is applied. It creates a new shortcut called Curious Labs. Then removes everything from the old Metacreations shortcut and puts it in the Curious Labs shortcut. So now the Metacreations shortcut is empty. Giving the illusion that the Files are now located in a folder called Curious Labs on your HD. But they are not. They are still in the same old Metacreations folder. Kinda confusing to read here. But in short. They only switched the shortcuts. Not the folders where the files actually are on the HD. Now what happens if the new Poser they have on the shelves installs like this?: c:Program FilesCurious LabsPoser4 This is not the same path we use now: c:Program FilesMetaCreationsPoser4 See? There are going to be questions from some confused newbies about this. Mark my words. ScottA
I see! In the meantime, time for more clever work-arounds and a tutorial on how to load files in the Poser 4.03 age!

When I updated to the newest patch. It created a new folder called "Poser4 updater Save". Is it ok to delete this new folder? Has anyone done that? Is it just there incase you want to un-install the new patch? Second Question: The new patch creates a new shortcut called Curious Labs in the windows programs folder. But the files are still located in the MetaCreations folder. Are the programs now shipping from CuriousLabs still using A Metacreations folder? If not. This is going to cause problems with sharing files for the folks who can't do it by hand. Or at least confuse some people. ScottA
