re the Bum thing:

As a P4 user, I don't mind converting the jpgs included for P5&6, when I notice prior to loading. (gotta make some concessions if one persists in remaining a Luddite). However it does truly get to be a hassle when the .cr2/.pp2 automatically loads the named jpg first.

When that occurs, Poser4 will not let you subsequently load and convert the file - saying that the file (the jpg) is already loaded.

Only way out when the jpg gets loaded first is to close the PZ3, open a new one, load & convert the jpg to bum, close and reopen the original PZ3. -- a real speedbump in the process.

Perhaps, you might consider including bump maps as PNG files. That way, AFAK, P6 would load them and P4 would balk, allowing me to manually fetch an alternate .JPG version (if included) or go convert the PNG to JPG and proceed with the load without bailing out.

-just a thought
