We had an interesting discussion of Library versus Runtime.

I argued that "Library", though not what people are used to, is more accurate. The GUI does not show you your entire Runtime. It only shows you your Library within that Runtime. It doesn't show you textures, geometries, python files, etc.

I argued that unless we included the ability to browse and invoke Python scripts, drag and drop images onto shaders, etc., it really wasn't right to use the word Runtime there. SM agreed.

Other reasons were:

New users, not familiar with Poser lore, have no idea what a "runtime" is, but content "library" is pretty obvious to anybody, even if they've never been in a CG program before.

The word "runtime" is overused and actually means something important in computerese outside Poser. My ".NET Runtime" and  "C++ Runtime" are programs, not content.

Similarly, we changed from "Collections" to "Favorites". Everybody knows what a Favorite is by now. What's a collection? Collection has implications that are not true. The Favorites are just links or shortcuts to things you use a lot - your favorite things, organized however you like, regardless of which Library they are in, or where in.
