OK, another couple of features in my seemingly endless list of things that should have been implemented since Poser 1, but didn't fit the paradigm of figure based posing:

The ability to save and apply library poses to props not currently parented to any figure. Have you ever scaled a box prop and placed it somewhere convenient in a scene that you'd like to be able to replicate on another freshly loaded box, without having to clutter up your prop library? Try applying a pose to a prop that isn't part of a figure and see whether it (doesn't) happen(s).

I have a library full of various deformer zone falloff curve profiles, which I can happily load and apply to any zone parented to a figure. But woe betide that I should want to apply them to a scene prop's deformer zone with no figure affiliation. Ba-Doom! Thankyou for playing!

While we're on zone falloff curve point assignment, these are inaccessible to Poser's Python API, so there's no workaround, unless you consider creating a new, dummy figure in a scene, temporarily parenting the deformer to it to apply a pose, then unparenting the deformer. YUCK! PTOOIE! I've written a Poser file parser that can read these falloff curve points, but has no mechanism with which to apply them, and cannot fall back on Poser's own LoadLibraryPose() method, because that still won't apply anything to an unparented prop!
