I'm pretty sure that the Collada and FBX import/Export will work after unimesh is set. No use in speculating until all the cards are on the table.

No Doubt that they will work, they worked already before the release of PP 2014, it is to see if per mistake or lack of knowledge remove DEV, or cause a conflict to force the removal. this would not make the Import impossible it would just throw poser back before the release of 2014. If DEV support remains not much would change for the Import.

As you say it is to see what is going to happen , it is just to hope that not more gets removed that was very useful for figure creation and direct communication with external programs.

Out of awareness is also the fact that allot of old creators that jumped to Daz Studio are using Poser to create standalone models that are then encrypted to DS format for sale. so allot of Models are still created in poser that end up to be only DS format releases. A little creator secret! so to know that quiet allot of support is coming from this side even if not officially mentioned.

This is caused due the lack of DS for external import and support witch poser is giving until now due full support of cr2 in DS. So basically is Daz Studio still depending on poser for certain things :) and this gives quiet some user support for poser. An error with external compatibility could be fatal for a good future.
