How do you convert Poser PC files to work in Poser on Mac OS X 10.3+? Is there a good but free or inexpensive app that will easily do this? Is this possible to do? I'm a total Poser newbie, I just got Poser 7. Any help and suggestions would be sooo greatly appreciated!! Thanks all.

It should load just fine in OSX normally... there's a group of apps out and about though if you need to convert the odd image or pathing munge-up. Check the Macintosh forum for a listing (I'd just list them here, but I'm nowhere near my own Mac where I keep the list).

There is no difference between the files with respect to Poser.  The hard part is installing content into the Runtime without overwriting existing folders on MacOS (as it replaces folder contents whereas Windows merges folder contents).  DittoGUI is good for this - Daz3D has MacOS installers otherwise.

I've literally copied (carefully with the caveat mentioned) Runtimes on my Windows system to my Mac system and everything works.  There is no real need for conversion.

Now, there are some issues with Poser 4/ProPack and earlier in regards to Windows and MacOS - but using Poser 7 in MacOSX you should not worry about this.

Here is a free utility that takes away the pain of installing zips into Poser 7 on a Mac.

Leave it to Phil to have already created a Poser Python utility to assist in the process... :D

heh :)

I have to confess it was self interest. I only use a Mac to test out my scripts on. It was driving me nuts having to drill down every directory and copy files over. So since I have a policy of working hard to be lazy I created the script.

Out of curiosity, is there anything that does the reverse?--Going from Mac to PC.  I remember getting a bad Freak .exe file on one of the ComputerArts CDs and the Mac file was supposed to be okay.

From what I understand the only way to do that was with an older mac that can run classic (and you have to have the Mac).

At least that I knew of.
