May I ask for clarification of something here, please? It's sort of on topic.

When looking for a referenced file, like a geometry or texture, does Poser look in its default Runtime first, then through each connected Runtime in turn until it finds one that matches?

And... does it only look in the specified folder (if it exists) before going on to look in the next library? If so, what is the meaning of the Preferences settings for search depth?

I never have really understood why Poser needs to search through the Runtimes for files whose paths are defined. I know they are relative paths, but within each Runtime, at least, they are fully defined, aren't they?

Thank you.
