Definitely going to check this out :-) I've been hand tweaking XML dialog definitions to implement the Mac conversions of face_off's Skin Realism products and it's an imperial sceptre up the backside. I'd be really keen to know if there are freely available graphic XML widget editing tools.

I ran into P6 bugs with sequential calls to some of the AskFloat|Menu|...() methods crashing poser, not to mention the nastiness that is the booby-trapped dU shader node.

There are also some serious deficiencies in the poser python widget manipulation hooks which mean it's impossible to dynamically update text attributes or widget visibility once they're coded in the XML. I ended up with buttons and check boxes that I couldn't make disappear when they were disables. The best I could do was to set the text items to empty strings and ignore the callbacks of the buttons and checkboxes. [Edited to remove inadvertent inline HTML]
