@PhilC,

Quote - It is writing but not reading the XML file.

When I updated my scripts to Poser 9/Poser Pro 2012 I also had trouble with these native Poser dialogs. Where ever possible I rewrote them to use wxPython.

All paths appear correct. It is possible that there is an incompatibility somewhere within the 35 lines of XML code. Good luck with finding that :)

Since it is a relatively straight forward GUI it may be quicker to rewrite it in wxPython than to find where the anomaly is.

I'm sure you know what you are talking about (I don't :-)). I would not have a clue how to rewrite it in wxPython. So unless svdl, or someone else, updates the script for PP2012, it looks like I'm sunk.

It's not that there are no alternatives, but the alternatives are either more work, or cost money :scared:(I'm tight as a fishes ...).
