Quote - That "bug" about the runtime folders being named specifically would be a problem for me. I'm trying to justify upgrading to Poser 8 even though I like the new interface, but all my external runtimes start with Runtime [space] and whatever the content is (Mil3, Mil4, Props, Sets, etc.). I don't want to put them all back into the same runtime again. Too much of a pain for backups even though I use Norton Ghost for drive backups, I still like to do uncompressed backups for smaller runtimes.
Which "bug" are you referring to? I'm not aware of any naming requirements for the parent folder of a Runtime folder.
XYZ/Runtime/Libraries works for any XYZ.
There's no bug about having the word "Runtime" as part of the name. In fact, the name can be Runtime as in:
Runtime/Runtime/Libraries/...
I made one post where I said that is dangerous, but not becuase Poser has trouble with it. I meant that if you're looking at a folder in explorer called Runtime, and you're trying to install something in your Runtime by dragging-and-dropping a Runtime tree from a ZIP file, it's dangerous because you can get confused about where you're drag-and-dropping. I was concerned about the user being confused, not the software.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
