I've included your entire reply.

Let me start off saying that you are right in that it IS very generous of p3do to offer a free version of it's software.  It has NO time limit which is more than I can say for Rocketship Technologies offering. They are honest in their 30 Day trial and I had no problems with it and was sorry to remove it after the trial.  It was just that price tag that made me go away.  It might be right and proper to charge 65 bucks for the licenses but it was just too much for me at that time.

I also made sure I didn't say your software was crippled which my initial thought.  I'm sure there are extra features that one gets when they pay for a full version.  However, my initial bout with the software made me have reservations.

I think I'm like a lot of users who open up the package and see what they can do.  The first thing I wanted to was reorganize my runtimes.  When I tried to do a multiple cut and paste, the program just flat out refused.  I opened up regular explore, got it to the same point and had no problem doing multiple cut and pastes.

At that point, I sighed disappointment and mainly have used it as a search engine.

I will also say that I could be in serious error regarding your software, if it does work the way you said below.  Even if it doesn't, it might be the my organization of my runtimes.  As I stated, 100 different users will most likely have their runtimes organized 100 different ways.  No software can anticipate any one user's preference and idiosyncracies.

However, what I did deal with was my quick experience with P3dO.  Those are just MY facts from MY particular experience.  When I couldn't do a multiple cut and paste, it rather broke my heart.

From this post I can see that there a lot of people who use your software expertly and have no problems.  The fact that you have responded has already shown better support than the original poster has been apparently receiving.  That speaks volumes.

Like I tell my father, Dare to Compare.  I might've simply been a victim of my own organization (which I have redone since then) or perhaps I just didn't install properly it.  What I wish to do is continually organize my runtimes, search and find items and launch the items once they are found.  I'll read your documention and try again.  I could become your best customer.

To Yarp, I'm sorry too, though the last line of your post I feel is from frustration, rather than anger, I can't unring that bell nor should I.  It was my honest experience.

I will say this in ending, I DO find it hard to believe that anyone would offer software for FREE, give out FREE updates, stand behind that offering for 9, count em NINE years if they weren't honest and passionate and caring and generous.  As I said, nothing wrong with wanting cash for extra features for your software.  That's the american way and I'm an american.  I hope you are succeeding and I want you to continue to succeed and grow.

I invite everyone to try out your very generous offer and go by their own results and post it in the forums.  I know I will.

I'm sorry to the Original Poster and hope you find your answers.  This was supposed to be a PZDB thread, not a P3DO thread.

Quote - Your choice is to use PzDB and I have nothing against.
But please, don't disminish P3dO features. 

P3dO offers a generous free version for Poser users since more than 9 years.
This free version has been constantly updated, upgraded, distributed for free.
The free version has no time limit and is enough to do the basic organization you might need.
Plus it allow to open directly from Windows (P3dO) to Poser.

And also as the name suggests P3dO is an Explorer, then of course Copy Paste, Drag'n Drop works exactly the same as with the Explorer.
After a search you just double-click a file and it opens in Poser. The search is not as rich as PzDB and that's normal the 2 software have different purposes.

I insist that the free version is enough to open files in Poser and manage them with the Explorer. There's absolutely no limit there.
The pro version has more features, and they are not free. This is not a limit, this is just another software and the message is: if you want more, then pay for it. Exaclty like PzDB but again in a different way.

I just can't believe what is written above.
