Quote - aRtBee: good point. My peeves are:

  1. Switching between runtimes is tedious. Have I missed some hotkey? The only way I found is to click all the way up the hierarchy and then click down into another runtime. Hard to believe that it is done like this on purpose.

There's a drop down some where at the top of the library...I always forget about it though.

  1. You had to keep cr2, pp2 etc all separate. This is better in P6, but you still have to rename the extension. Sometimes it is easier to keep all the bits together in one directory. Basically all Poser library management is open heart surgery by poking around the filing system manually. You can't drag and drop a bunch of library items from one place to another.

I tend to use the subfolder system.  So V3 runtime has clothing under figures then it's separated by fantasy, modern etc.

  1. library items save with the preview, not with the last render. Arrgh. If you add transmapped hair, you can never see the thing in the preview.

Have tried having smooth shading on in the preview?

Quote - 5) No library group for full pz3 designs, so you can see little pictures of your designs in progress. (Like in Vue)

There is a project palette thingy mentioned in the previews for poser 7.  I'm hoping this is what that is.

  1. No system convention where to store morphs.

You mean the external ones?  Yeah, I don't like like.  I tend to just save the figure in a new file to keep track of them.

  1. No easy way to add new items in a place of your choice. Some items install to directories that the creator decided on (starting with!!!!) other will make a new runtime. I manually move everything into the places where I want them. I have my own library organisation like you described in your first post. It gets quite deeply nested otherwise you never find anything again.

  Yeah the whole moving things around sucks a bit afterward.  But that's why hogwarden is god.
