The P8 library is indeed faster, SM had me install it on my machine to see if the issue happened there when I linked my PP2012 runtime to it. It didn't as, even with all the content in the PP2012 runtime,  the Pose library loaded really quickly meaning that I didn't need to refresh the folder I wanted to open.

I have 2 laptops on which PP2012 is installed, and, when you launched it for the first time, the Pose library loaded really slowly on both of them and the same issue with the double entries occurred when I refreshed the folder I wanted to open. This surely has to mean that there is something in PP2012 that is causing the library to load slowly. The P8 library was really fast no matter when you loaded the program.

P8 is 32bit as is P9, I still wonder if there's something about PP2012 being 64 bit that is causing problems.

To anyone else with PP2012, how long does the Pose library take to load when you open it having lauched the program for the first time!? Do you just wait for it or try and refresh a particular folder that you want to open?

I just want to get to the bottom of this. There may not be anything they can do for PP2012, but, there could be something to address in PP2013.

CHEERS!
