Quote -  Maybe I missed something... but WHY is it scanning all the sub-folders?

 
Because SM UI design people insisted that you would want to know the count of items inside a folder before you try to open it. The only way to know that is to scan the folder.

We're changing this in Poser 9.

Quote - Why can't it wait until the main folder is clicked, then go to it?

 

Because not everything that seems like a good idea is a good idea for all users, and they wanted it that way. I don't think the original designers understood how many items this would require to be scanned. It will be changed.

Quote - I didn't find anything on the PoserPro libraries after looking for "Klingon Toothpick",btw.

 
Where did you go to "find" anything? I was suggesting a search in this forum.

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)
