ini's, xxml prefs etc are in the (user)appdataroamingposer... folders, which tend to be hidden so they won't reveil their contents in searches as well.

PPro2010 and PP2012 have similar Lib handling, especially when you use the same internal / external setting on both. That may cause interference. Same probably holds when deploying other Lib software like P3dO.

The question remains why you do need two Posers at once both requiring the Library.

In my workflow I build my scene in PPro2012 until the moment that I want a seperate process for cloth sim or for rendering. When for rendering, I launch the scene towards Queue manager, I don't need another Poser for that and it saves a lot of memory resources. When for cloth sim, I launch the scene in PPro2010 but then I don't need any Library or so.

So: it pays off to establish a clean workflow first, and manage your resources properly (like setting process / CPU priorities when running evering in parallel). As I just happen not to have your problem in the first place, I don't have to solve it either. Saves my day.

have fun.

Usually I'm wrong. But to be effective and efficient, I don't need to be correct or accurate.

visit www.aRtBeeWeb.nl (works) or Missing Manuals (tutorials & reviews) - both need an update though
