Quote - the thing I recognise here, is that when I'm running PP2010 as well as PP2012 I cannot have the Library open (in external mode, using AIR) for both PP's at the same time.

If I want to use Lib-2012 I either have to close Lib-2010 first, OR I have to redefine Lib-2012 as Embedded (in the preferences). So if I launch PP2010 first which opens its Lib window at startup, and then launch PP2012 (which usually opens its Lib window on startup too), Lib-2012 will not open now. When I launch PP2010, close its Lib window, and then launch PP2012 then Lib-2012 does open at startup.

Perhaps this helps.

Hmm... the library seems to already be defined as embedded in the preferences on PP2012. I think it might be that way by default. It doesn't seem to behave the way you're describing though.

What's the difference between embedded and external anyway? Where exactly would the external be located if I were using it with that preference and how would Poser (either version) or their libraries operate differently?

 

Quote - I don't use poser library so never had this problem, I'm using library xl and with that one I can run 2 copies at the same time without a problem. I would suggest getting an external library for at least one of the poser versions to overcome this problem.

What is library xl? Which Poser version do you use that for?
