Quote - > Quote -  BB the xml lib prefs file is very different then past versions. At work at this minute so I don't have the file names etc. But is there any reason you can not hand edit the xml file to add libs and or change their index-sort order?

No reason not to. Just copy and paste on of the lib lines, and edit the path.

During testing, each time I installed, I let the installer wipe those files because of other changes. Then I pasted my libs back in before launching.

If you need to re-install for any reason, save the list of libraries first.

Also, there is one for the Library GUI state. I forget the name. You can edit the list of "open folders". These are automatically opened and scanned on startup.

Closing them (deleting entries) saves time on startup. You could even build up a set of these for specific projects, save them, and then bring the entire library GUI back to that state by replacing that file. A script could do this easily.

Make sure the main runtime is first though - don't move that one!!! Very important.

reason for the question is I assume I had a typo, because when I tried editing this morning to add some runtimes, it barked about an error on line 31 and then took it back to default instead of giving me a chance to correct the error. Will try again in a few minutes but will back up before I restart poser. Doing the same with poser running wiped my work out when I quit poser and relaunched to bring in the changes. both bits are purely FYI for you.
