That's an interesting logic, so you mean that Poser Pro Pack and later loaded and displayed the RSRs and converted them to PNG just for fun? And if the RSRs were deleted, they created RSRs from the PNGs internally to display those RSRs? ;-)

No - maybe a little. As long as they had a function in their Poser that could load an rsr-file and display the image, they could afford to be compatible. But when they decided to switch to Flash or Flex or Air or whatever, they had the problem of not being able to use that function anymore, since the librarymanager is more like a little separate application, than an integral part of poser, and would require some serious amount of work.

That could be the case, but at least the GUI of poser (wxWidgets) has native support for displaying PNGs; you essentially say "Please display that image there" and it just works as long as the image is not an Rsr. I think something similar goes for Flash, but i am not really sure about it. But what interestingly works, too, is: Convert a PNG-Thumbnail to a Jpeg (but still name it 'thumb.png') and it will still be displayed by the library. Name it 'thumb.jpg' and it will not. Why would they put work into doing something like that, if they had no intention of displaying Jpegs anyway?
