Jim, welcome to the ranks. I saved a character CR2 from Poser. Opened it in MM4 - copied in some JCM. Did the find-replace in EditPad - new character name Saved it back to Poser library. I noticed that MM4 had increased the file size by 2 meg I opened it in Poser and saved it back. Reduced the size alright, but It put Figure:1 back everywhere but the single name slot. all JCM back to being controlled by Figure:1 Poser can be perverse. The EditPad step pretty much has to be the last one. If all your characters are Figure:1 controlled and you burn the Figure;1 cast member with the Null-loader everything should work. If. But, much as we may wish, it is not a "fire and forget" solution. I do not see anyway to protect a user from having to be aware of the problem and its fixes.
