Answer to what?
I just got done telling you that it's a bug.
Look, the piece of code inside that collects file and folder names has a buffer in it. This buffer initially is sized at 50 items. When it gets over 50 items, the buffer is supposed to be re-allocated to a larger one, move the already found items over, and then release the original buffer. A mistake was made in this particular piece of code, which is unique to the Mac. As soon as Poser examines a folder with more than 50 items, it starts to trash its own memory. This can lead to crashes, data loss, etc. This mistake was not in my part of the Library, the Flex part, but in the C++ part. So I can't tell you any more than that because that's all the developer involved told me.
The only workaround, until SR1 is released, is to not have 50 items in a folder.
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)
