Quote - Ah you see
people with poser 4 who did characters to save filling up the pose folder used the camera folder, as thier is a hell of a lot of old characters and prop's need it.
P4 and 5 and 6 could texture say a coat from the camera folder but not 7, now as you say is that a bug or is it a case of not testing the program.
Or the usual thing of the software houses to realese then let the punters test, now what they should do is realese poser 4 and pro pack free so that people with poser 7.
Can do scenes in it and save then import into 7 as i use 5 and 6 to do a scene then import into 7 to use the morph tool then render.
But should be interesting to see whan patch comes out, as i have watched the bugs in action and a freebie poser 4 for 7 owners would be nice.

 

Since e-Frontier will no longer be supporting P4 or P5, waiting for a P4 free for P7 owners is a needless waste of time.  The only time I ever saw this (saving MAT pose files to the camera folder) was in P4 because with the advent of P5 external runtimes became available, allowing the user to set up extra folders.  This is one reason e-Frontier GAVE AWAY P5 when P7 was on the way.

Again, the easiest way to keep those pose files is to move them to a folder in the Pose library, making sure the paths to the textures remain correct, and then just change the extensions from .cm2 to .pz2.

This is NOT a render or P7 bug as the Camera folder was NEVER intended to house pose files, not even in P4.  This was a workaround by some (not all) Poser artists using P4 and trying to keep the Pose folder under control.  Now that P4 is no longer available in any form (including the ProPack), deal with it and try something someone offers as advice in order to keep the pose files you don't want to lose.
