Bagginsbill,  I have to agree with the comments about complaints with the interface.  SM issued a survey a while back specifically asking users want they wanted from the software.   It seems to be a flawed assumption that your opinion should be relied upon alone while other users' input should be dismissed.  Concerns and questions were raised - it's no reason to be defensive especially if you want the software to sell well.  Believe it or not there are plenty of talented people in the community who would be just as capable of making great contributions to Poser's development if they were provided with the same opportunity.  Your contributions are appreciated, but let's keep things in perspective.

Using the preview window as the size of the render has some benefits as the user knows where to place items in the scene so that they show up in the right place in the render.  It's a good way for beginners and intermediate users to get the renders they want.  Personally, I could care less about the new library options - as long as I can find and load it - I'm good.  My concern is with the development of and integration between the content and the software: more realistic human figures (over the Poser 8 crap), soft body physics on figures, more dynamic clothing and hair, stick options (like in Studio 4) to keep part of a figure locked to a particular position, etc.

Library options and render window settings aren't really of concern to me.  I'm open-minded, but it will probably require some more significant features before I'm enticed to upgrade.
