The real problem with duplication is not the figures and props, but
the textures and OBJ files. If you have lots of runtimes connected
to Poser, you have a good chance of finding the wrong "Wood.jpg"
or the wrong "Box.obj" when loading a figure or prop. There's no
easy solution to this problem; the mechanical duplicate finders won't
tell you which "Box.obj" is the one you really need.
On the last question: No, you don't need to keep the earlier Poser
programs. You can keep their content and connect it to P7.
But again it's the same thing: Disk space is really cheap, and
your time and mental effort are really expensive. Life's too short.
Trying to delete the program without deleting the content (or vice-versa)
is time-consuming and error-prone. Poser mixes the content and
program parts so closely that you'll almost always delete some of
the wrong stuff.
