I have noted a few issues with all carrara versions which I feel should have been addressed several versions ago.  One of the main ones is the primitive file handling in Carrara.  It frequently loses track of where textures, geometries, and other parts of a figure or shader are.    You have to do a ton of manual jumping around.  Say I opened a Poser figure like V4, then I wanted to bring in a different character textur4e and some morphs.  For each operation, you have to manually point Carrara to the right folder on the HDD.  Now on my system, I have my Poser content spread out on 2 of my 6 drives.  I have a huge amount of content which I have aquired over the years and looking up a folder would be almost impossible without using Advanced Library for Poser as sort of a file search utility.  The show references function is a life saver, but really..  It would be nice if Carrara could keep track of folders for different things, like one directory memory for textures, one for import functions and if it would keep track of where you open a scene, and where you close a scene seperately, that would be great.  I mean, you STILL can't resize the flipping file selection box...  That's just a pain...

I hope Daz will do something about this issue.  It's old, it's pretty basic, and it's VERY annoying...
