This list is mostly presented as a number of suggestions for improvement, not as a list of complaints. Complaining isn't my style.

  1. Body data is not saved in poses - this should be available as an alternative.

  2. I have to go into Preferences etc evey time I want to switch between compressed and uncompressed formats. Make the path much shorter to it. Like directly in the Edit Menu.

  3. Many popups still are not sizeable - the Open dialog is, but many others are not.

  4. When creating a camera etc, does not save it. I have to click on OK with the mouse! I seem to remember that P4 & P5 were not like this.

  5. I want to be able to define my own maps at the highest level in the Library - for instance, a MAT library, a Clothing library, etc. In other words, multiple Pose, Figure and Prop libraries, with my own names.

  6. IK on/off available in an onscreen menu (as TP suggests)

  7. If I hover over a thumb in the Libraries, if the name... is too long... to be fully readable..., it should popup so I can see what it is. Alternatively, allow 2-line thumb texts.

  8. How about "Render Settings" and "Render Dimensions" shortcut icons in the Preview/Render wiondow frame? And why not combine the two, avoids a whole lot of scrolling in menus and opening different windows all the time...

  9. Make it possible to NOT have figure circle on all the time by default.

  10. Make it possible to have IK OFF when loading figures.

  11. Make the Library window adjustable by it's bottom left corner as well, not only bottom right.

  12. Make it easy to throw away renders in the render pile if I don't want then cluttering the place up.

  13. Put an "Add new category" icon in the Library window frame.

  14. Make it possible to rename items in the Library easily.

  15. Every time I save a render, the popup defaults to the most recent folder that was used when loading a pose, prop or whatever. Very silly!

  16. Add info to the Properties tab that shows what the figure or prop is conformed or parented to.

  17. When a tex fails to load on adding something to the scene, the popup should suggest a path by presenting the path which is specified in the cr2 or pp2 or whatever, to give me something to start with when I have to search. This is a common solution in similar situations in a number of other apps I use sand should be easy to implement.

  18. A lot of space is occupied by very broad borders in the Library for example. I could use that space for other things.

  19. Make it possible to choose (easily) how Library entries are viewed: Large Thumb, Small Thumb, List or Details - just like Windows Explorer does it.

  20. It's very very nice that now activates main Camera regardless of which window/menu is highlighted (Fixed in SR1). Excellent!
