Hello @anomalaus:

thank you for posting your libraries. I downloaded them and will have a closer look at them to see what they can do for ME.

I said "ME", and that's the problem as I see it:

As long as a user doesn't have your library, of course he won't be able to bind them, thus making any script which uses them (a-hem)... a bit useless?

I saw you already have the Rendo "copywrong" :D notice in the documentation, so hopefully they may become a part of Poser future distributions?


In the meantime, I think I will use a workaround:

Of course I could also parse the .ini file to find out the recently set compression setting. But for a script of less than 400 lines, this would be overkill.

One more problem is, the .ini file is only updated on Poser program termination, afaik. So IF the user has changed his compression option while still being in a session, the .ini file won't know, and neither will I.

...........................................

I decided to make a "feature" of this instead:

Let the user decide for each pose whether he wants to write a compressed file or not, regardless of the General Preferences settings... :)

Thank you again for your help!

Peter
