pjz99,

I think most of the emphasis was put on getting the new programming and content right, not on re-working legacy content.

It doesn;t necessarily mean a fix for the figures needs to wait for a full service release of Poser. SM could issue a simple Cr2 updater (thaty did this with either Miki or Olivia if I recall correctly. For that matter you could make the fix and encode it and place it in free stuff if it causes you so many problems (not meant badly, just one possible solution).

Naturally this may mean that every clothing content malker for the earlier figures would may need to make updates as well, so I don;t really expect it to catch on. but it IS an answer.

Personally I think that SM will proably concentrate on the new rigging features in the Poser 8 figures. They do present a lot of new terratory to explore...

Note I don;t speak for SM in any way shape or form, I'm just suggesting a possible fix..
