Can the New Library handle short-cuts?
LMK
There are a bunch of weird behaviors regarding links or shortcuts, whichever you feel like calling them. (Menus say "create shortcut" but the file created is a "lnk" file.) When you put items in Poser's favorites, they are nothing more than lnk files. I designed the GUI to support LNK files anywhere, not just in favorites, and to also permit lnk files to whole folders. For some reason, the server part of Poser doesn't like those, and so we disabled the GUI's support for adding folders to favorites, and for lnk files found just anywhere. I was sad about that because I wanted linked folders in my favorites, not just individual items, so that I could instantly navigate to disparate folders in random places, organizing them how I want to see them in real folders of the favorites.
Anyway, there's no reason you can't try it and see what happens. Stick a shortcut directly in a content folder and see if it works. But do not put a shortcut to a folder - I know Poser will go berzerk on that.
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)
