Quote - Well, it shows once again how bad the beta testing program of poser is. By now we're getting quite a list of very obvious and easily reproducable problems that should have been dealt with before P8 was released.

Imagine how much work tech support could have been saved, not even the mentioning the money that could have been saved, if SM would have a better testing team or better directions/training for testers, or even both.

Well I don't know about that.
In the specific case of the LWO format, it's been like that for quite a while. It was in Poser 6 that they introduced LWO2, and obviously they screwed that up and either never tested it or did and simply didn't care to take the time to fix it.

I don't think they really care though, and probably long ago forgot about LWO import/export, so I wouldn't blame the current beta team for that at least.

Now if there's a general consistent crashing in Poser 8 for all 3D file formats, yeah, that's something they should have caught, especially since importing and exporting are such basic and necessary functions.
