  1. Lack of a decent Undo feature! Some things can't be undone at all and if you didn't save before you goofed something, forget about reverting back. Speaking of the revert, in Poser 5 why do the parameter/properties disappear when you revert to the last saved file? >>2. Expressions which reset the face morphs! I never save morphs with expressions or poses, but a lot of earlier poses done by other people seem to reset everything. This is another time when the Undo doesn't work. >>3. IK always being on by default. In my opinion, it's not very handy. The default should be off until they fix this. >>4. The crap Library system. It just sucks!! Plain and simple. Poser 6 made some slight improvements, but nothing that I would call helpful. With version 6, why didn't they create a category just for MAT files. I know they have the Material category, but it's only available when you are in the Material Room. Poses should be for poses, not material application. #1 Now what about when you're searching for a particular body part and you have to scroll through a long list. It seems to me that back in Poser 3 (or was it 2) that when you needed to scroll through the long list of body parts, it cascaded the list to the left or right side not up and down like it is now. Why are genitals and buttocks last? Never understood that one either. #2 M3's lap looks funny when he sits. There are obvious creases in the upper thigh. #3 Get rid of all those useless parameter dials that aren't descriptive and seem to do nothing. I think they all start with PBM or something like that. Dial Cleaner is too much work and trouble. #4 A medical terminology ReadMe for those latin medical terms most of us don't know. I even have a former medical background and can't remember or never heard of them. #5 The ability to save MAT files inside of Poser. #6 This one is hard to explain, but...When placing figures inside of props, a way to keep the prop from totally obscuring everything that is placed within it. Sometimes when you have to adjust rotation or poses, or even placing props in the hands of the figure within this big prop (like a house), you have to zoom so close to the figure you end up going inside of it. I've had this complaint since Poser 3. #7 An easier way to adjust lights. Fix that damn spot light so we can tell which direction it is pointed in. The flaps need to be colored in or make it look like a spotlight. #8 A nice toolbar at the top with many of the functions used frequently. Get rid of the big ball and have it as a drop down from this nice toolbar or a pop-out from the side. I rarely use the little one or the hands at the top of the posing window. All of these old things left over from Poser 3 take up too much space. I can't remember if it was in Poser 2. I trashed that years ago. #9 Poser 6 User Manual is just as bad as the one for Poser 4. I couldn't find anything useful in it regarding the complicated Texture Room. The graphics are out of date. #10 The cancel button during rendering should cancel, not continue on and on until it feels like stopping. Usually it works, but sometimes it doesn't. In Poser 5, it hardly ever stops and I have to reboot.
