Quote - what apps will we need to have loaded on our computer ahead of tyme before 2010 will work?and will we still see the creation of thousands of (make believe)files?

That's an interesting question. The library will still be in Flex, but updated. For the 32-bit version, it will work the same (or not work, however the case may be) as Poser 8. However, there is a problem. The Flex GUI needs Flash to run, and Adobe has not released a 64-bit Flash player. Which means that it can't be embedded in the app. We're currently thinking to make the library a separate application, running under AIR instead of the Flash player. This means two things:

1) The library will be its own window which you can move/resize independently of the docking system. If you have two monitors, you could easily move it to the second monitor and maximize it. If you only have one, then it will be in front of or behind Poser, and you switch with Alt-Tab same as switching between any two applications. We're thinking about other ways to it to the front. We're also thinking of perhaps getting it to behave sort of like a docked window, but not sure how at the moment.

2. Being an AIR app, it will not be embedded inside IE, so that part would go away. No IE, no Flash. It would just work.

As for the mysterious cached XML files that are not supposed to be there, we're still working on trying to make the OS stop caching them. In any case, we're changing the protocol between the library and the Poser server so that HTTP is not involved in the continuous polling for state info that is happening now. So that will eliminate 99% of those files, for sure.
