Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Dec 20 7:20 am)
Subject: Confound and be bothered!
in the latest patch of POser5 they enabled a widgit that would switch it to text only if more than a certain number of items was in a folder. either remove items, or do the edit, which honestly I can't remember at the moment. Hopefully someone with more remembrance will be along to tell you how to fix it. Its not you, its Poser :) You're going to hear that alot Lyrra
I think what Dizzie means is if you go to edit/preferences while operating Poser, the .xml file is not a choice. Correct me if I'm wrong guys and gals, but I think you have to go to that 'pref' folder, and use a text editor to change that number in the libraryprefs.xml I think that's what Dizzie's asking. Anyone care to give a quick walkthrough on how to edit that .xml file?
Dizzie, your XML file does not appear to be a 4.1 file. Runtime/prefs/LibraryPrefs.xml will contain a line previewNum="100" Change the numer to anything you want. If it's a low number, your library will display fewer pictures, a large number will display more pictures. (And, I hear tell, that if you can wrangle a mathematical constraint in there, Netherworks falls under your command....)

Well bless my buttons! It worked. No more goblins hiding thumbnails on me. What an interesting thing, Poser. Is it common with Poser users to tinker around with the program in this way? I have seen numerous references made to modifying cr2, pp2, and other Poser files. There was also a thread on rearranging Poser runtime folders to suit ones fancy. It rather all seems quite magical and mysterious at times. How does one learn more of these little tricks? - Brey

If in interest you express desire more, ne'er less Seek beyond the simplest shores and the world about ignore pass beyond the distant veil into addiction's sunless paleSeek above these very words
in the realm of Tut Or Ial
Whence many things are revealed
But deeper still -- harken well
Dr. Geep is the spell
beyond him lie many realms
PoserPros in Fora plenty
RuntimeDNA in skills as well
Ask your questions, pointed sir
and to them shall the wizened flock
unless of course you care to wait:
I'm writing a book.
Two links you should find most informative culled from the immediate environs:

In the first one, I bid you look well in search of the one labeled thusly: Off Site Links
A trove indeed it is -- and older resource that is oft ignored by the unaware, but leads one on a merry chase both roundabout and enlightening.

Yup, it's very common. The best way to learn is to look around for tutorials and ask questions here. There's a Technical Forum for more in depth information about geometry handlin, CR2 hacking and the like. PoserPros and RDNA have some good P5 tricks, FallenCity has several very good tutorials for P4 and P5, DAZ has a lot in Arcana and the forums, and there's a tutorial section here somewhere, although I confess I can't see it at the moment.

What a wonderful place this is. Such wonderful people. Thank you again for your help.
Now to ynsaen mostly deeply I convey....
Aye, sage bard of written tongue, a sorceress true you might well be
ere the spell is in the weaving, with word and passion the mind is won
not the entrails toss, or cauldron churned, nor black bird perched on yonder tree,
quoth-ing nevermore

I dare say, Poser 5 appears to be in league with the goblins!
Perhaps, some good soul here can recant to me the spell of exorcism needed to correct this current infestation.
Whilst browsing the pose folders, I find one shows only a text display of the content. Whereas my other folders appear to prominently display thumbnails. Clearly this is the work of goblins, gremlins or brownies! The moon is not full, so I tend to discount brownies. Nor have I been snacking after midnight, so I find gremlins unlikely. On the other hand, there was this - forgive me for saying it - rather cute and cuddly looking goblin I found crying out for love and affection on some cybernetic island of misfit Poser toys. He seemed innocuous enough, at the time, but now I must wonder....
