I don't have a basis for comparison with previous versions of Poser to be honest, but it is pretty flexible to use in 9/2012 - thanks! I have only just twigged that I can load the library as an external app component, via preferences... which seems to help everything to run a bit smoother on my sadly underpowered / aged imac.

Bagginsbill, out of interest, what was the rationale for using Flash / AIR to host the GUI for the Library component, if you don't mind me asking? I notice that this is used here...
