the libraries of Poser fill a big amount of space in my HD. I want burn a CD with the libraries and I want that poser acces directly to the CD to use the libraries that there are in the CD.

If it is possible (I don't think it is, but I've been wrong before), you're going to have trouble saving to these libraries in Poser, as Poser can't burn to a CD directly.

Unfortunately the library path is hard coded into the program. It is not possible to point to an external library. It would be a nice feature in any update. (hint hint)

If you're like me, you download a huge amount of resources, even though you have no current plans to use them. When I download something, I don't immediately put it into a library, and when I hit 600 MB in my download folder (and I'm pretty close right now), I'm going to burn a CD with the downloads. That way, if I need a particular item for a project on which I am working, I can unzip it from the CD.

I'm not sure you would want to access your library from CD anyway. Unless the technology has gotten a lot better since I bought my last CD drive, CDs are slower than hard drives.

I do the same as bjbrown... I catagorize them by date and when I have 650 megs I burn a cd. However, I do move my seldom used textures to another partition, and that frees up a little more space.

jenny, I have a large number of CDs for Poser--including all my animals. As you say, they take up a huge amount of HD, so I burn everything on CD's. I also organize mine very well before I burn them--in fact I keep a folder on my desktop with organized folders within it (i.e., Vicky, P4 female clothing, clothing props, etc.) and then I burn it when it hits 600 MB and/or once a month. I label it and keep one CD folder with nothing but 3D CDs--pretty easy to find things that way. I also have a CD-RW for Mike and one for Vicky so I have all their 'things' together (they are also burned on a regular CD). When I need something I go through my CDs--if I'm looking for P4 female clothing, for instance, I open all those folders starting at the newest CD. When I find what I want, I just unzip it and load it into the library, geometry, etc. BTW, if the zip title isn't explanatory enough, I rename it in my 'saved' folder on my desktop. The folders are named by date I start them--so I always have a current folder there to download to all month. Diane

I do the same, except that I have a seperate CD for, say P4Fem Clothes, that I burn onto at least once a month, and then close when it is full and start another. I also have one that has the runtime folder the way I want it with just the basics (Vicky, Mike, and the stuff I always want to keep handy). Then, when I want something, I load it, and when runtime gets to outrageous proportions, I just delete the folder and copy the one I burnt, and I am ready to start again :0

I just download everything on to floppies and throw the unlabeled diskette into a tea chest. When I need to find something I wave my diviners rod over the container and the one I want rises to the top. I thought every body did this!
Well you learn something new every day :)

I was doing this until I found out I had a magnetized deviner's rod. It subsequently erased all the disks in my tea chest as I was searching for one.

I burn on CD also everything that I download, and I only keep in the library some of them, about 12 GIG. If you buy a mobile HD like from www.h45.com (there it is called quick drive) then you can have a 64 gig only for Poser stuff. You need to install Poser there. AT H45.com, they sale the case between $50 to $100 and you buy your physical HD from the store for about $150 and you get a good environment for Poser. For me Poser is on one of my HD and Poser Pro is on my mobile or quick drive.

And even if the sub-directory of the libraire start with a lower case letter then it not appear in Poser librairie. It happens to me once.
