Quote - I think this type of thing is a perfect example of something that was best done as a stand alone utility that could be applied to any Poser cr2. Simple, easy, universal, and elegant.

It could be expanded to such, but perhaps I believe that it's there experimentally. If it works out, it works out. If not, it goes away and nothing else is affected, so I sincerely doubt that it "could actually kill the Mil4 figure line". From what I gather on the subject, it is an optional thing even on V4, so it doesn't necessarily mean that it gets in the way of workflow.

There is one credible scenario I see so far which it would be any sort of problem: Someone opens a long-ago saved .pz3 w/ Vicky 4 in it, tries to pop in a brand-new morph for the V4 figure, and maybe something goes kerflooie. Even then, this hasn't been confirmed.

The whole problem is, like any other in Poserdom, that we're all stuck with outdated and limit-ridden tech on the whole .cr2 concept.  One fine day I'll grab hold of Carrara (a new Mac version, not the ancient Win32 one I have now), import the whole wad of figures in and skeleton-rig 'em (if that hasn't been done by others already), and the whole joint thing will become moot. Until then, I deal with the nature of the beast.

(PS: Nerd3D and Rob came up with ERC as well as INJ/REM... again, to get around Poser limitations. If Rob wants to take it to the next level, why not let 'im?)

Quote - A Python script utility could have easily accomplished the same thing for all users.

If any of it calls tkInter, Mac users would likely be locked out (thank Apple's implementation of Python in 10.4.x and subsequent patches/kludges for that one). Also, remember that Poser's way of interpreting Python differs quite a bit from the way Python was supposed to be interpreted. While that doesn't preclude the main OS interpreter, it does complicate things a touch for anyone trying to write for it.

Quote - What is needed is internal cr2 editting tools, not something just to inject products.

Actually, what is needed is something more modern than the joint-dependent and crufty .cr2 structure in the first place... but I digress.
