Thank you for your reply!

I've spent some time today playing with yout lib, and it surely looks very useful. I hope it gets incorporated in PoserPython with the next version!

B.t.w., I would really LOVE to see the library made PoserVersion-independent because I still use PP2014 for many tasks where P11 is (to say it in a friendly way) somewhat "quirky". But of course I understand that you can't support all older versions, esp. since they changed the Python version in (iirc) P8.

But have a look at the forums: The P8 forum sections are as dead as a Dodo... So I believe catering for those few zombies simply won't be worth the while :D


On the status of the Poser preference file, I believe that it does get saved the moment the user clicks OK in the preferences dialog.

**Damnit, I just checked, and you're right! **Lesson learned: Never take anything for granted what you previously only believed...


Another project of mine is to parse, load and save poser files without the current restrictions of Poser's parameter filters.

That sounds interesting, never heard of such filters. Could you please explain what they do?


Part of the process involves checking whether a file is a compressed format before opening and reading it, or opening it in compressed mode to create/overwrite a pose file.

Well, at least this time I'm not the complete wxPython.Idiot(self, MyName) because I already learned how to do that...


I'm happy to share the code which deals with such, if you'd like to see it.

Sure I'd like to! One never stops learning, and it might be enlightening to see other coding styles!

Cheers!
