The rsr issue is really part of a larger problem having to do with Poser's absence of standards for third party products. I'd like to see Poser take the approach that MicroSoft did during the early days of Windows.

During the days of DOS and earlier, application developers could use any look and feel they wanted and have their product behave any way they wanted. When Windows came along, MS said to developers that if you wanted to use the Windows logo on your packaging or call your product "Windows compatible" your product had to meet certain standards. These standards controled the overlook and feel, the behavior of the mouse and keyboard, and lots of internal, technical stuff.

Poser needs to do the same thing. They need to come up with a "P8 compatible" logo that vendors can assign to their products if and only if those products meet certain criteria such as (off the top of my head):

• Use pngs instead of rsr files.
• All produsct should come with a ReadMe and that ReadMe should contain specific information including the file list. There should also be a specific naming convention that the ReadMe follows.
• Content should go in folders where ordinary users would expect to find it. Hair, for example, should go in the Hair folder, not in Character or Pose or any of those other places where Hair shows up.
• Those character specific morph injection folders (or whatever they are) need to have their own place in the directory structure.
• ...etc.

SM can add to or delete from this list as they feel, and I wouldn't mind. I'm not that concerned about WHICH standards they have as long as they have SOME standards.
