Just a quick second to John's DialogMate link. It's a great utility that I have used for some time now to get around the inability of Poser 6 (or its predecessor, for that matter) to remember the last folder used for a specific class of file. This was and still is an unforgiveable omission under Windows, but I suspect its absence has something to do with retaining Mac compatibility across a common codebase. I don't count that as a bug, but I do count the memory error as a maximum critical flaw in the product that should never ever have got through even the most rudimentary alpha testing regime, let alone beta and pre-production. However, it hasn't stopped me from getting a lot of use out of P6 so I wouldn't say that it is unusable. After all, I've only lost three scene files through it :( And if you've got a couple of hundred gigs of free disk space it's no great hardship to save your scene with ascending version numbers every single time that you change one parameter dial ;) fwiw I have found that permanently disabling the rather flaky "Use Binary Morph Files" option seems to help prevent, or at least reduce it. I'm waiting anxiously for SR1, but I have a horrible feeling that squashing this one is going to take several attempts.
