Poser will not accept, now or before, anything other than the specified file by name and formt when directed to do so by either a downloaded PZ3 or CR2 file. When a file is missing from a CR2 already installed, having been deleted or format changed or location change, Poser will only indicate that a file is missing without reference to the name or type. In the case of the downloaded file, you have two choices when Poser specifies the type file: provide it or not. If not, Poser reacts in two ways: It likes it or it doesn't. If it likes it, you get the mesh without the missing text. If it doesn't it locks up requiring a ctrl-alt-delete to shut down Poser. The distinction between whether Poser locks or not in this case is not certain, but seems to be the number of times that the same file is called for in the mesh. It seems to me that Poser will ask twice before locking up or giving up. Again, you must provide the file by exact name and type as requested. It won't accept the unconverted text intended as a bump even if the file name is the same except for format (Tiff for Jpg). Sometimes even capitalization with make the difference. Most of the time, a homemade PZ3 will load even without a requested file. The really serious problems come with someone else's CR2. I find at least 20% of downloaded CR2's are missing something. When it's a bum format, you have no way to fake it inside PPP.
