I read somewhere there is a length limitation on filenames for Poser 5. Limited to 16 characters. Does anyone know what the file name length (maximum character count) is for Poser 6 and Poser 7?

kind regards

I have ones far longer than that, I think the filename length limits are for earlier versions of Poser when running on a MAC but I'm not 100% sure.

One would think that this is OS dependent.  Windows and MacOS X allow individual filenames up to 256 characters, including the suffix (iirc).  Suffice to say, the longer the filename, the more difficult it might be to read in the Library.

Many thanks for replying so quickly. i have been converting some material files for a product I have been working on into Pose files. Just to make things a bit simpler fo the user. I noticed, oddly, a couple of them failed to work first time and wondered if it was the fact that my file names are quite long [to help me remember what they are :( ].

I now think after your replies, it is a cache, memory, floder-refresh thing, but not certain.

Both Poser anf Daz are a nightmare with absolute or indirect references to filenames and directories. I really appreciate both of your help as it has saved me a lot of time testing for for the possibility of this.

Many thanks, I am indebted!

Another thing to watch for: The names of body parts and materials
inside Poser (not the file names) can't be longer than 10 characters.

I think this may have been loosened up in later versions, but it's
best to keep such names short for compatibility.
