i think there was a thread recently about the various ways to apply mats from the mat room, some are click and some are drag,

i dont know if it will help when you compile your files but i always make a new folder and call it poser runtime 28 or something, then i add that runtime to my poser runtimes in add library option, i put all my texture files in the textures folder first, then when you apply the mats you dont have any problems with file locations. snarlygribbly also has a png maker on his site which will generate pngs for your mats
