Wouldn't it be great to be able to directly open a Poser Library folder in Mac Finder or Windows Explorer, via a context menu or button in the Library UI?

Maybe I'm overlooking an easy way to do this. At the moment I have to either open a new Finder window and navigate down the library tree manually, or use the Go to Folder action and cut and paste the folder path from the Library Extended Details panel.

Does anyone know if this has been mentioned before, or if it's already on the wish list for the next patch/release?

Thanks

Amazing. I just had this situation myself yesterday, three times, and wrote it down to put on the list I'd do for the next version of the library.

See the thread regarding Mac issues. I've not done further work on it but it may still be of interest.

@bb: that's good news, thanks.

@Philc: thanks for the thought, but no good in this instance; I just want an easy way to open the currently-selected Poser Library folder in Finder, so I can quickly edit/copy/rename/move etc. the files in that folder.

I have often wished for that feature! Another nice context action would be to access the Windows "Send To" menu so you could easily send the item to a text editor.

I have a desktop shortcut to the Poser runtime folder, its better than nothing . I also have a python program that will search for matching names.

I have a couple of utilities that I find very useful.  Both of them work in the File Open or File Save dialogue of an application. "Dialogue Box Assistant" maintains a list of recently opened files and folders, accessed via buttons in the dialogue box, and lets you open any of them.  And "Folder Guide", which maintains a list of user defined links to folders, and is accessible via a right click in the File Open or File Save boxes. I would feel completely lost without these two utilities.

These sound like something I can use regularly...thanks Les!

Is there a way in the material room of P2010 to directly open the directory where the image map is stored?
The "browse" button of the image map node always opens the "LAST_OPEN_SAVE_PATH" that it seems to read from the Poser.ini.

No way that I can find. I can't even copy and paste the file path in the Texture Manager.

Perhaps a little Wacro could be used to update the Poser.ini parameter from the path of the currently-selected Image Map node, then the Browse button would open the right folder.

That would be a nice work around. But I will post a feature request at the SM site also. Maybe their developers can make this part of a service release.
