I think you've hit the nail on the head there....When it fails to find what it's looking for, it presents a folder that seems to correspond to the last position from which I've imported an object, or an HDRi or any bitmap I was looking for.
I've been trying to come up with a set of steps that produce this fault repeatably with file searcgh set to None. But sometimes it's finding both ('Head' and 'pointlite'), and sometimes finding neither. Then this happened:
Although I'm not 100% sure it's highly likely that on the previous run it asked me to locate pointLite.obj. So on this run when it can't find Head.obj it opens the "Please Locate..." dialogue with the last folder from which I'd located something for it.
And I'm now fairly certain that the runtime that Poser first looks in (and if file search is set to None the ONLY runtime it looks in) to find an OBJ file is the runtime from which a Poser file (PP2, CR2, etc) was last loaded.
The 3Dcheapskate* occasionally posts sensible stuff. Usually by accident.
And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
