ok let's step back here so it doesn't get worse than it is because I DO NOT like conflict, I'm a coward deep down ;-)

When I save a pz3 my Poser DOES NOT compress the file, that's not what I was saying.
What I was saying is that when I put new stuff into Poser from a zip file, it appears that Poser for what ever reason puts them in "z" format, note appears!
I have to admit to not checking that bit properly! The reason for which should hopefully come clear below!!

Now let's go back to Vue6Inf, I only have problems with P7, if I bring stuff in from P6 I don't have an issue, now this is the contentious bit!
If I have a prop that doesn't come in then I can go back into Poser, run the script, resave my pz3, import into Vue again and the prop comes in!
If compression has nothing to do with then you explain to me why the prop comes in after I do that, and I'm really not having a go, I can't explain it!!

Now the picture in question is in my gallery here called "Pygar", the Nest and the Angels hair didn't import, the M3 figure did, I ran the script in Poser and they came in next time!
Maybe, just maybe it's a coincidence and I've grabbed at it but really if it works, what else can I do? I'm not going to say it doesn't just to please others and likewise I'm not going to say it works if it hasn't! Why would I lie, what would I have to gain by leading anyone up the wrong path???

I know I'm not an expert on the inner workings of either programme, they are tools for me, nothing more, just like any other toll I might use, I don't need to know how a spade breaks the earth to use it!

No offence intended in any of my post, I would dearly like to move to using P7 instead of P6 with Vue6Inf but until this import issue is solved I can't take the chance a prop doesn't come in when I'm working on a customers cover or something!
I hear what you're saying and I'm sure your method works, I don't dipute that, never have if you go back through the thread, but I'd have to go through a lot of stuff to make sure I get eveything I might use in an image and I just don't have the time for that!

Injustice will be avenged.
