Hi I am making a program for poser file management/automated distribution packaging/cr2 edits/morph managing/phi building/cr2 link checking and lots more stuff. I would like to have some kind of idea of what the standard poser community uses for an OS and the size of you current poser directory. for instance, I use Windows ME and my Poser directory is ~1 gb in size. I ask because even windows systems will not report various items the same...such simple things as acquiring "free disk space" are not reported and handled the same way for each one (silly huh?) and I want to know how many people use what OS so I know what areas to focus on... this also gives me an idea of how many poser files an average user of poser has. thanx BT

My Poser directory is very nearly 2GB. However, I keep most of my Poser stuff elsewhere. I have a further 1.6GB or more on my hard disk and several CD-ROMs, and six or seven Zip disks of Poser stuff. Then there's the 3D stuff that I've developed outside Poser which probably runs to another 3 or 4 GB. I use Win 98 on my desktop, and Win 95 on my laptop. Don't ask. I don't know why either. Maz

Windows 98SE Poser directory ~ 750Mb (desperate for a faster machine with more space! but who isn't?)

I am using a Win98 SE computer. My Poser directory is almost 4GBs with Runtime at about 3GB. I keep most of the zip files, images, texture templetes, extra templets, morphs, ...on CDROMs. Lynn

Windows2000 Poser Directory=2.2Gb, 7554 files, 426 folders

Mac OS 9.2 and dang huge. 2 Gig or so (I am not at home)

:o I haven't even DARED to check the size of my Poser directory. I know one thing! It's BIG. I use WIN 2000

Mac OS 0.1, and the Runtime folder is 1.2 gig

Mac 9.0.4 (desperately wanting X, need machine that can run X); Poser folder approximately 900 meg.

I use Win ME. My Poser directory is 1 GB, and I have 3 or 4 Gb on CD-ROMs.

WinME, Poser dir=4GB. Good grief, I never realized that! Bet those stupid bum files are sucking up more than their fair share!

Mac OS 8.6, 9.1. Current runtime folder 3.1 GB, texture folder 1.5 GB

Mac OS 9.0.4 Currently my runtime folder weighs in at a gargantua 9.92 gig containing over 16,000 files ::blinks and doublechecks those numbers:: Gads.... and I have 5 CDs worth of stuff that's not even installed.

Windows XP, with a 1.8 gig Poser directory (I recently cleaned it all out though) and 17 CDs full of Poser stuff. Yow. :) SnowS

WinME. (I know, get a real OS ...) Poser = 1.86Gb. That's after a small cleaning. I also have a bunch of stuff I've yet to install. But Daio still wins!

Mine is 769 Mg on Windows 98 second edition. I keep my pictures stored on my other hard drive. I back up images and downloads on CD roms.

win2k, 10 gigs on the dedicated poser hd 3 hd's currently installed- about to install another 60 gig hd for a total of 120 hd space- only 512 mg ram but may go to 1 gig very soon.

Windows XP Professional About 1.5 gig

ME, 2.6 GB (I never realized it's so much!!)

Poser = 3.71Gigs lol and thats not half of what I have, a lot more stuff is on backup cd's :)I am running windows,amdk6 athalon processor,320 MB Ram, 22.8 Gig hard drive, with 11.3 free space left

Windows XP Professional, Poser working directory is 8GB on a 30GB drive...without everything installed... :)

Win 98SE (I never have any problems, why fix it if it ain't broke?), 850 AMD Athlon, 384M RAM, 7.69G Runtime Folder. Just took off a about 1.25G of Posette and Dork stuff. Running out of space and thinking of losing my partitions. Daio's got me beat!

Win98SE 1.9G

Win98/Metacreations folder-16.7 GB/Runtime-16.6 GB/

Lee's got us all beat. :-)

pokeydots.. start saving for a new hd ;P you will fill the rest of it up in no time. my poser directory is 10 gigs and growing(i really need to learn how to optimize my textures;P) i would burn to disk- but once it hits disk- it's gone, never to be found again ( well not easily found) ;D

Mind you the 16 gb is just the stuff I use, we will not go to the "Off Line" HDD (20GB)

Yeah, but Lee buys EVERYTHING! Win 98SE (Soon to be 2000 probably when/if I get to build a new computer), and 4.37GB

Windows 98, Poser Directory 1.6 gb on a 2 gig secondary HD

Heres my specs: Celeron 700 Win2000 Pro 128 MB RAM (upgrading soon to maybe a 1.1GHz) Runtime: 2.1 GB DAZ: 372 MB Freestuff: 450 MB (Zipped at ~89% and not installed) Templates: 400 MB All this stuff is regularly used. This puts my entire Poser program at 2.2 GB... Thats all. Geez I thought it was more than that.

Mac 9.1 I keep my current projects on separate Zips so I can keep the size of my RunTime folder relatively small. It makes the program run far more efficiently, from what I can see. Having said that, tonight I started CD #23 of archives, some of it Bryce, some of it QuickTime movies, but the overwhelming amount Poser material. Ive developed a very specific indexing program so I can readily find the materials I need for any given project instead of having to dump everything on my HD.

Windows 98 First Edition (no, really!!) Poser directory: 663 MB (I run a very tight ship) Miscellaneous: 2.33 GB (zipped and waiting its turn) I'll be moving up to Windows XP Home Edition sometime next year, after the bugs are ironed out.

Runtime 27.7 Gigs half of which is texture files, with an additional 4 gigs of props not in pp2 format in an "outside" folder. Windows ME

Just finishing 'Porting all my stuff over to my new Desktop; P4 2.0 Ghz, WIN-XP, 512Meg ram. 180 Gig HD Storage Poser4 Folder at just over 21.2 Gig. (I've been re-installing everything off archive CDs prior to re-org'g my Runtime Folders, but with 180 Gig HD, I may not get to it for a while :-))

Windows ME 2.85 GB

Windows 2000 - 2.84 GB and growing

1. Windows98, Pent3, 1gigahertz, 512ram, 2 40gig drives, about 1.5gig of Poser 2) WINME, Athlon 1.4gigahertz, 60gig drive, 3gig of poser, A TERRIBLE MACHINE THAT CAN"T HANDLE POSER! 3)winXP 2.0gigahertz just out of the box and waiting for Poser stuff to be loaded. about 15 cd's of extras, but now I am setting up extra Runtime folders by catagory...like holidays, scenes, animals, kids, and plan on moving them in and out of Poser.

Win 98Se, 1GB

Windows 98 (soon to upgrade to XP I hope) Poser folder about 5.5 GB and the rest on CD's An additonal 3G folder with 3ds models and a 1G folder with textures I use in Poser.

Damn I can't believe the size of my runtime directory.... Win 98SE, 1.33Gb Athlon, 768Mb Ram, 160GB HD, 60 Gb for Poser alone. My Runtime directory is 11.9Gb 15,903 files Alot of stuff I'll probably never use but with the big HD I'll probably never need to trim it down much. Ed

OS: Windows XP
Runtime: over 6 Gb, growing rapidly

I also have a german version of Poser. :P
In this version the names of some folders are different (figures -> Figuren, and so on). Everytime I install something I have to move the library stuff in the correct directories. This bugs me endlessly.
A installation routine which could figure this out would be very good.

Windows ME (And disappointed with it)
Poser 4 directory is 6.3 GB

Windows 98 32 RAM Pentium 1 200 MHZ Poser directory is about 2GB but I keeps all zips and install files also (about 1.5GB more)

Mandrake Linux...Ok just kidding....sort of....Ok I actually got Poser on Linux and it even opens up but doesn't run....yet....hehehe... Windows 98 and my Poser directory is about 1.3 Gigs and growing. Estimated size of about 3Gigs in the next 2 months. :) :) :)

Win NT 4.0 SP5, plan to install Windows 2000 Professional unless I decide to get XP. About 1Gb in Poser folder.

oooo..oooo whats the name of the 'geometries' folder in the german version of poser? lol..some of you have HUGE poser runtimes.. keep em coming, this is helping me :) thanx BT

In the german version the 'geometries' folder is called 'geometries'. ;) Otherwise I would also have to hack the Cr2. Only library folders are different. I'm at work, when (if) I go home I take a look and post a list of the names.

3.8GB on Mac 0S 8.6 - moving to 9.x as soon as I have time. Much stuff scattered on almost 100 backup CDs.

Mine's big too..............................what?

OS - WinMe Poser folder size - 7.6 GB sheesh

Win 2000 2.8 Gig
