Quote -  I purchased Poser 8, and have a question - can I copy all my directories (with their sub-directories) from Poser 7 Runtime to Poser 8 Runtime and have them work properly?
 Also, can I move Alyson from her directory to my Runtime/Females directory?
 And last but not least - can I just copy all my Python scripts from Poser 7's Python directory to Poser 8's Python directory?
 One last thing - when I have Poser 8 all set up, can I uninstall Poser 7 to save space?

 Thank you for reading and thank you in advance,

Why do you wantneed to copy all of the P7 runtimedirectories to P8?
Why not simply make "External Runtimes", (Links) to your present P7 runtime and directories?
I have some 50+ External runtimes, all the way back to Poser 4, and they work fine in Poser 8.
In Poser 8, you can Show One, All, None and it works fine.
You chould be albe to copy & past your python and most of them work. Make sure you copy them from where they are now in P7 to the same location in P8.

Poser 8 isn't dependent on Poser 7, so "IF" you fell the need to uninstall 7, that's your choice.
