duanemoody, Hmm... I just checked it with a test file, and it worked perfectly fine (the .bum was copied to (Extra)Runtime and the .cr2 was properly adjusted to reference the new copy. If it got a hiccup on your Mac, there could be a couple of reasons: 1) Macinstaller only moves textures which are actually referenced by one of the library files - if the .bum is simply a "bonus" file, it gets ignored. A future version might get an option to "force feed" unneeded textures as well, if you drag them onto it. 2) A file with the same name already exists where Poser expects it - this may happen if the .bum has a standard name which already exists in one of the default folders. Macinstaller looks at the references exactly the same way as Poser does, and if the file can be found it will not install it multiple times again. 3) You (accidently) switched the Texture PopUp to "Source" - doing so will reference the enclosed texture files where they are (eg in the folder that you dragged) but nothing will be copied. Poser will find them there on opening as long as you don't rename them or move them out of the folder. By the way... you may move the entire folder within the same volume and Poser still keeps track, just don't move the files itself to a different folder. If you continue to have problems, please get in touch with me directly and try to tell me exactly which settings/files cause the trouble.
