That's not the situation I described as the figure you applied the texture was already in your system and you modified it by changing a texture. Saving the file saved the instructions in the CR2 that told Poser where all the files are. If you shipped me that same file by email and I copied into my character directory (assuming that we had the same geometry file), AND I did NOT have the exact texture files that you had, by name, type or directory address .... what would happen is that when I clicked on your CR2 now in my character directory, it would ask for the missing files by name having not found them automatically. Unless I could provide those files by making substitutes of the same file by name and type (which I could place anywhere), Poser would give me the two alternatives addressed above: It goes ahead without the text file or locks up. You will get a similiar problem if you were to delete the files you just applied (or changed the file name or location) and then tried to recall the file from your character file. I have found some old files of mine won't load anymore, and lock up the computer because I had this genius idea to change the TIF's to JPG's when Poser4 came out. Save storage space. Now if I can remember which file I changed goes with the models .... trouble is, that in this case, Poser rarely tells me the name of the old file. Can't explain why.
