I have searched this forum...as I know I've asked this before...but can't find the answer.

I recently had a hard drive crash... and in reinstalling my poser files...have noticed that some of the libraries show only the text description of the item...no thumbnail.  I know there is a place to edit the number of files per folder...but for the life of me, can't remember where it is.

Anyone have a clue?  Help would be most appreciated!

Little_Dragon once said: "You can change this manually by entering a different previewNum value in your Runtime/prefs/LibraryPrefs.xml file. Make a backup copy of the .xml in case you mess something up while editing." also dr. Geep's: file_210077.jpg Maybe it's what you are looking for? Michal 4blueyes

What I did when I had Poser 5 and found out how to change that file was to burn a copy of the changed file to the same CD that I had burned my Poser 5 program too.  That way when I installed Poser 5, not only was the program on the CD, but so were the updates, the SN and the library.xml file.

Great idea, Arcadia.!   Thanks for the tip!

Have tried that option in Poser 6 but all that happens is that the thumbnails are replaced with a large question mark instead. They do not collapse as shown above. Is there another setting to tweak?

For Poser 6 you don't have to edit the file. Leave that at it's default state.  The option for thumbnails is inside Poser where you set your preferences... under "Edit" I think.

Editing the preferences to text only within Poser or editing the file directly produces the same results. The thumbnails do not collapse but are replaced with a questionmark.

This is a "feature" :blink: 😉
