Sorry, OT.

Quote - English is insanely hard for foreign language speakers, but it is apparently harder for people who speak it every day, too.

English is one of the easiest languages to learn, as a foreigner. :) Try learning Japanese, where pronunciation often depends on your gender. (I did a little bit, but forgot pretty much all of it again.)
And I actually don't find it so strange that native speakers have more trouble with English than foreign speakers.
We don't grow up with bad habits. We grow up with bad habits in our OWN languages, instead, which are quite possibly better spoken/written by non native speakers, as they were taught properly from the onset. (The same way we learn English.) It works both ways. :)
I'm still looking for a good course in Gaelic. :)

Okay back to the topic. :)

My one wish is that Poser remembers where an external runtime lives. If I change a texture, I'm kinda tired of having to navigate to my external runtime every time. It would be great if you could just specify a starting directory, where the actual runtime lives. (As it currently always starts off in the P7 folder, which, in my case, lives on another drive.)
Another is an improvement to how shadow cams work. Currently it's just a pain to use them.

I don't really animate, so I couldn't say what is needed there, but the few times I do... It would be nice to be able to insert a new (blank) frame delete frames where you fudged up. (If there is a way to do it... I clearly dunno how. :))
I often forget I'm in frame 27 and insert a light... and obviously it's not there in frame 1. Argh.
It's little things that bug me.

I'd LOVE to have "floating" toolbars. Or one toolbar where you click on whichever tool you need (i.e. document settings / translate settings etc) and get a dropdown of sorts, from a floating TB, rather than having it on the GUI, and burying the dang thing under the render window like I often do.
The library on a floating TB would just be... wow. I'd love it. (I'm sure many others wouldn't)
I'd like to see the library taking up much less screen space when it's closed.
I'd like to see the camera gui thingy embedded into the render / pose window with the different camera switches, rather than just the pull/push/rotate it currently has. I switch a lot between cameras, but I tend to do it by clicking, rather than shortcut keys.

Just a few little things. :)
