I recently uninstalled & reinstalled my Poser Pro 2014. Everything was working fine until I noticed that the 'PoseWriter Panel' under the Scripts menu is not working. Funny thing is everything is right there, and when I create a pose with a figure, and save the pose using PoseWriter it even says the Pose is 'written and ready' and also indicating where it is saved. Unfortunately nothing is saved. However I do get an error code, every time I close Poser after attempting to pose a figure through PoseWriter Panel. I'm not very familiar with Scripts and their error code. I really need to get this fixed as this posing script is what I rely on posing my figures with efficiency and ease. Below is a screenshot of the error code I get when I close Poser application:

Some possibilities:

It can't 'see' the Actor figure, because the scene is saved but the figure has been moved in the runtime. Or the runtime is now elsewhere.

The script has been updated for Poser 11, which broke it on Poser Pro 2014.

Poser does not yet have 'disk write' permission from Windows, for some reason. It can't drop the file into the runtime. Or an anti-virus is prevent it doing so.

Thanks a lot for the reply. I thought I'd get a notification for any response to this, but I guess not. Actually the runtime is the same, it has not changed, but maybe somehow it changed for the script. I may need to remove all poser content and software for this to work again perhaps. But I actually have a new issue now. Poser Pro 2014 crashes after an error message now, every time I try to apply a pose through the script. Below is a screenshot of the error message. Poser crashes after I click OK. I really need to find a way to fix this. Thanks again

Perhaps I need to uninstall Poser Pro by removing all contents from the system, and then reinstall for the script to work again. Just to be clear I did not remove all Poser contents from system when I uninstalled before as mentioned on post. I'm guessing these script files remain as saved content, like the poser content library, although they are not saved in the same directory. I feel like there's an easy way to resolve this, without having to do all this. Thanks

Can you load that cm2 file from Posers content manager?

Did you reset the folders in the script (right click in the scripts window, "Features -> Folders -> Reset Last used Folders" and "Clear Recent Folder List")?

Is it possible that another script is also running? Perhaps one that starts automatically with a scene? Or any AddOn?

I'm asking because in your first msg you showed an error message that says "Scene" could not be found. "Scene" is part of Poser Python, but can be overwritten by a script for special purposes.

Try the script I posted some time before. It cleans the Python environment.

You can simply copy the script from the message and post it into a Poser Python Shell (open Poser -> Scripts -> Python Shell). Right click into the Shell und select "Paste Plus".

The script reports anything it deletes (don't worry – nothing gets permanently damaged :))

While analysing the script I found that it creates files on my computer here:

C:\Users\[username]\AppDataRoaming\[your Poser Version]\Netherworks\PoseWriter Panel

Make sure the script is able to write to that directory. I deleted the INI files I found there. The scripts created new files after I restarted it.

Thanks a lot for all the tips and help. Let me get back to you after trying those. Most appreciated :)

If you're referring to the cm2 file in the screenshot, then yes it's loading just fine.

Sorry, I dunno where this is exactly. Not sure if you're referring to locations in windows files or control panels of the software. Either way I can't find these.

I don't think so. But this error (the first one) first initially happened when I reinstalled PP2014. The main reason I actually reinstalled PP2014 was that my content library got messed up after I was testing a 'lock folder app' and added the content library destination folder by mistake among the few files I added to the App. After I unlocked the folder the damage could not be undone, since Poser was not recognizing the destination folder anymore. But maybe I could've just added the library again, unfortunately I don't remember if I tried that or not then. But I reinstalled Poser to fix the issue, and it worked. Unfortunately the PoseWrite Panel did not work since. And now there's a second error message instead of the first one

Just tried that and restarted Poser. Did not make any difference, but perhaps I'm missing something (a step) there.

Make sure the script is able to write to that directory. I deleted the INI files I found there. The scripts created new files after I restarted it.

Below is a screenshot just for assurance and reference. Are you saying to delete both the INI files there?

Sorry, I dunno where this is exactly. Not sure if you're referring to locations in windows files or control panels of the software. Either way I can't find these.

If I right click in the scripts window (Netherworks script), I get a menu. Maybe there is a difference between the script you use and mine. I'm using P11.

But deleting both INI files does the same.

Anyway, Seems this 'tock folder app' messed with access rights of files and pathes. Simply overwriting (a new install) may not completly restore anything, Best you can do is copy all your content files out of the way and delete any path and file related to Poser before reinstalling. Check if Poser works (without your content). Then select the folder you saved your content to and use windows to set the access rights for all files and pathes in it (but most likely your content is not the problem because you could load the cm2 file with Poser).

Good luck!

Yea it's different in PP14. It doesn't have the option. I deleted the INI files as instructed, and the recent error was fixed. Unfortunately the old error message is back. Will uninstall and remove Poser contents as you have suggested and reinstall it. That's the best option to fix this. Thanks a lot again for all your help. Much appreciated :)
