One of my major gripes (with all versions of Poser) is that the dialogues aren't consistent. OK, I realise that this came about 'cos of sub-contracting the work out to different s/ware houses, but it's really a PITA. In Windoze, if you hit "tab" in a dialogue, you confirm the existing value in the current field and move on to the next field. In Poser this sometimes also occurs....(try doing it in the dialogues in the Cloth room - doesn't work). Hitting "return" whilst in a dialogue field should NOT close the dialogue! It should accept the field's value that you've just typed in... I could go on (and on...) For the Mac, things may be different. OK, I can accept that there may have to be compromises for cross-platform applications. But a consistent GUI within the app should not be beyond the bounds of possibility.. At least then, the need for multiple "undo's" (and thus the need for multiple "save before doing next step") might be slightly reduced.. Cheers, Diolma PS: And yes, I agree with the point about the heirarchy editor (and all the other dialogues that access the elements of the scene, eg, the "collide with" in the cloth room); They should look like the user's operating system's file system (which, after all, is just a hierarchy..) After all, the code for this is already there in the system, and can be accessed directly (so less system overhead). How much endeavour it would take to make those parts platform dependent I don't know, but it would help wonderfully..) Apologies if this appears twice; 'rosity disappeared as I attempted to post..
