heyas; if you have a lot of items in any poser library (characters:people, or props:prop types, for example), poser has to read all the files every time you open that folder. it is especially annoying when you fill up your default folder with stuff. i moved all my human characters to a 'human' directory, and the 'people' directory is empty. then, when i open the figure library, i can access it right away.
