Quote - Queue Manager is working exactly as it should. It renders using settings given to it from Poser. D3D's script doesn't use Poser settings, it directly accesses Firefly (Also not written by Smith Micro) and feeds it settings that Firefly can use that Poser itself isn't currently capable of using. This is why Python Scripts are called Plugins that ADD functionality to Poser. The settings used by D3D's scripts are also not written to your PZ3 files because they are settings that Poser does not recognise natively.
Actually, D3D settings are written to the pz3 file.
Following is from a pz3 including values changed by D3D's script...

The values I've changed to bold have been changed by D3D's script.
Now the question remaining is: does Poser / Firefly read those values from the pz3.
Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present.
