Jim, you're right, you can do it in CR2Edit, but take a look at your More Tools menu. You will see "Coordinate Materials". Click it. A list of materials in the associated obj will appear, along with a list of the ones that are in the cr2 but not the obj. Say ok. They're gone. With 50 or so tools in CR2Edit, there is very little reason for the average person to ever have to open a cr2 in a text editor, tho of course there is one in CR2Edit for the adventuresome and those who want to add to the body of knowlege about Poser files.
