@Kuroyume:  There's still a genuine problem with using simple
generic basenames for OBJ or JPG files.  If Poser can't find something
in the original path (eg because you've renamed some folder), it will 
look elsewhere, in the order given in libraryPrefs.xml.  The resulting
OBJ or JPG will be wrong, but will often be deceptively similar
to the original.  So you can have a strange result like missing parts
or peculiar textures, with no immediately obvious reason.

This won't happen as often with unique base-names.
Poser is much less likely to locate a "similar but wrong" file named
1860LogCabinWithFireplace.obj in some random folder.  Instead,
it will give a nice meaningful "file not found" error, and you'll have
to look for the exact file manually.
