so, a little leap for a newb here... .rsr is the suffix for the older preview files. in order for poser to show previews i need to convert all of them to .png. a batch convert that will leave the new file in the same directory as the .rsr file would be sweet! as for opening a Runtime folder with Poser 6 and an automatic conversion over ~ i have had no luck with that so far. i just get the little shrugging guy in my library window. X) i will explore the links to files above in hopes of a good app. oh, btw, all of you Win guys really need to consider a mac if you are serious about graphics. the kingdom of pixels is incontestably ruled by the crowned family of apple! !!! say it with me "UNIX BABY" :)
