The more the merrier...!

Let me try to shine a ray of light or two into my thinking, and perhaps that will spur some insights from a coding perspective:

1. Like a situation comedy, the comics re-use the same set, with the same actors and props, over and over.

2. To press on with the 'set' paradigm, I build a 'virtual set' with all the needed 'locales' in the .pz3 file ... for example, if it were 'Seinfeld', the pz3 file contains Jerry's apartment, the Soup Nazi's kitchen, Kramer's apartment, etc.  but all sharing common walls between them.

3. If the comic needs a new locale, I just build it into the set and move forward with that pz3 file, keeping the existing locales fixed for compatibility with saved poses and cameras.

4. Some expanded thinking on the 'self-indexing' feature...

• Each frame of a comic episode uses the keyframes sequentially, and each pz3 file contains one comic episode.
• The folder names within each Library collection correspond to the originating comic episode's name.
• The pose and camera names in each Library collection folder correspond to the originating keyframe's number.

Thus the proposed script should greatly simplify the task of FINDING the poses and camera setups used in previous episodes, for utilization in new episodes.  Because restoring the pose or camera info is easy... but FINDING the right info to restore is the hard part!

So I haven't noodled with example script provided just yet, but will start cracking on it this weekend.

Regards & Thanks!
