Subject: Poser 9: folders are automatically moved into others without intention


ralphxxxxx ( ) posted Thu, 25 July 2013 at 5:29 PM · edited Thu, 01 August 2024 at 8:32 PM

Since a few days have a problem with the liberary in Poser 9, which drives me crazy.

When I have opened a prop- or figure-folder and an item is selected, and I try to open another folder, Poser automatically moves this newly selected folder into the one, where I've choosen something before.

Initially always got a message, if I really want to move an item somewhere else before something happened. Even this sucked,  but since a few days ago it's worse. Accidentially clicked the option "Don't show this message again", and now those unwanted moves happen without a warning and often unnoticed.

Can this stupid function be stopped? I really don't need and want this. Or how do I get back the warning at least, to stop Poser to mess up my runtimes unnotice in the background and moves things somewhere without my knowledge and intention.

Already did a search, but didn't find anything related. I can't imagine, that no one else ran into this problem.

So  if someone could give me a hint - would be great. Thanks in advance!

Oh I thought I was the only one with that problem. Only mine is in PP2014. I think it's a "user error" - or rather a mouse error, but I agree, it's highly irritating. It's like a mouse delay or something. So that when you click a folder, Poser sees it as a dragging. I don't know if it would help to change the overall mouse sensitivity?

Anyone else with this prob?

Yes, I have had this problem a lot.  I kept the warning activated so I could cancel any unintentional drag events.  I'm not sure where it can be turned back on, if it is deactivated.  If the option isn't in the menus for the library, it's probably in the user settings ini file in the Poser temp folder.  :unsure:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Good to see ( ahem, or better not), that I'm not alone.

To play arround with mouse settings  might be an option. Have my daubts,  but will give it a try.

Would be happy enough to get back my warning, if this nonsense can't be stopped completely. So it happens not unnoticed at least. I'm getting a tantrum almost every time, when suddenly an important folder has dissapeared and I've to search for it like mad.

If you change to the two-pane mode, the accidental drag and drop never happens.

I recall something about the peculiar drag and drop problem and trying to fix it. It has to do with the design choice of making the item that is selected bigger than the others. The result of touching an object is that it changes size, and because of that sometimes the list moves, and because of that sometimes you let go with the mouse over a different item than where you pressed. The result seems, to the software, exactly like a drag and drop. (You press on one, and let go on another - that's a drag and drop.) I understand that you didn't actually move the mouse, but nevertheless the mouse messages are that you started a gesture in one box, and ended it in another.

You can solve this by:

  1. Configuring the Thumbnail Size and the Selected Thumbnail Size to be the same.

  2. Enabling the separate Item List Panel.

Note: Meanwhile, workarounds aside, I'm not sure why we never fixed this. Could be because they were going to replace the Flash library altogether? I'm not sure what happened to that.

If you want the single-pane view, then adjust the thumbnail sizes so they are the same.

If you want the two-pane view, turn it on here.

Note: If you have not even looked at Chapter 7 of your manual, then you're missing out.

I constantly see questions that are answered by reading this one page and nothing else.

I wish people would read the manual instead of suffering in ignorance for years.

We don't need no stinkin manual!!!! Rrrrrrrrrr. LOL> Anyway, yea I have the same error pooping up. I think in your Poser pref you can reset warning messages or also in windows in control panels. Hope that helps.

Sorry for a belated "thanks". Indeed, even Poser 9 is slightly different, adjusting the tumbnail to the same size cured the problem, as well it went away when using the two pane view. But to be eager, I still prefer the the single pane view. 

Oh well, the manual. Believe it or not - I have readed it. I knew about the possibility to adjust the tumbnails as well I was aware about the different views. But I had no idea this could have something to do with the problem.

Inside Poser didn't find an option to reset the warning in the preferencies. But maybe in the related ini.file in Windows. Have to dig deeper into it.
