QUOTE: Note: the .xx2 file is a text file that can be modified with a word procesor. [at your own risk!] The .rsr is a binary file that is created from the .xx2 text file with the same filename. Poser actually uses the binary (.rsr) because it loads much faster. CAUTION: ..... If you modify a .xx2 file, make sure you DELETE the .rsr file with the same filename before you try and use the modified .xx2 file. Poser will only CREATE a NEW .rsr file if the file DOES NOT EXIST! So, if you modified a .xx2 file and DID NOT DELETE the corresponding .rsr file, you will NOT see the changes when you load the .xx2 file because Poser will just use the old (unchanged) .rsr file. UNQUOTE That's a bit confused. the .rsr files associated with .xx2 files DO NOT need to be deleted when the .xx2 file is changed. They contain the thumbnail picture associated with the item and nothing else. Poser won't recreate them if you delete them and doesn't give a hoot about them in general, just using them to show you a little thumbnail picture. However, there is a whole different file format which confusingly has the same extension (ie .rsr) used to store geometry information. Those are associated with .obj files (not .xx2 files) and everything you've said in the quoted passage above is true if you replace all the bits where you said ".xx2" with ".obj".
