Quote - Re adding the 'static' switch to cm2 files. If you have a text editor that can 'Search & Replace' multiple lines at once (I use EditPad Lite), you can use this trick to process all the channels in a file, or even multiple files, at one time.

Set the search string to:

            keys
                {

Then set the replace string to:

            keys
                {
                static  0

You need to copy the search string directly from a Poser file, to make sure the indenting is correct, Rosity will have changed the formatting in the above examples. Doing the above will add the static switch to all channels in the file. Of course you can also use 'static  1' in the replace string.

One word of caution. Some people (especially animators) might not appreciate a cm2 changing the static switch on the camera, as this is not normally to be expected. Any files for distribution should clearly state in the readme that the file does this.

I use TextPad for most edditing, but may retire it in favor of PhilC's PoserFileEditor soon.

I think you are right about distributing files including the static switch.
Those files should be saved according to Poser's default, which is animating on for most cams.
One may include the static switch when using user created cameras in Poser 7 and up.
