Hi all,

In looking at Acadias response on external runtimes, I noted that at the top of the library menu there is no collections tab. I went from P5 to P7, and P7 has the collections tab (p5 did not), and a collections folder inside runtime (Runtime - Libraries-collections)

So it seems correct to say that using collections begins with Poser 7. If poser 8 or 9 have it, I do not know, but versions before poser 7 seem to not have the collections function.

I like the collections idea better than an external runtime. In collections I can organize the content any way I choose, while a special external runtime must still be in the runtime format or things will not work. It seems to me that the creation of a special say V4 only external runtime will require more time and much more structure to make sure everything is in the right place, and even then I'm still required to work within the click intensive structure of the library. With collections I can put everyt thing in one master folder, and then have simple sub-folders inside of my choosing. Easier to set-up, does not disturb the real runtime, and easier to use.

Now, if we could only make a collections function for the 25 top morph wheels for a character, rather than the, find the character, find the body part, click, click, scroll, click.
