Now available for sale exclusively at my website, and when approved for sale, sold exclusively here at the Marketplace.

Ask yourself- how many times have you downloaded a figure from the Internet, loaded it into Poser, only to get a "FigureRes Geometry: Runtime:Geometries:fairy:blwings.obj not found" error? And, then, of course, when you click the Ok button (to clear the message), Poser looks for this file anyway- taking 3 or 4 minutes (or longer!) to try to find it AND then gives you a message about how Poser is "Low on memory" (and proceeds to delete a figure from your scene!). How were you supposed to know that this figure even used this "obj" file? Wouldn't it have been better if you had known about this ahead-of-time, before you tried to load the figure? Well, now you can- just use the Poser Object Organizer Program to see the "insides" of Poser files! That's right- by clicking on figure files, you can 1) see what obj file and image files are used, and 2) see where those files are actually located on your hard drive, and 3) automatically fix the figure file to "point" to the "obj" file's actual location. What does this mean, to you, the average user? It means no more "missing file" errors- you will know ahead-of-time if you haven't installed all the needed files.

Have you ever tried to clean up your Poser files? Have you gone through your figures Library and removed everything you'll never use? What about the supporting obj files- those are probably still on your hard drive, taking up space. How would you know what figures (if any) even use these "obj" files? Well, now you can- just use the Poser Object Organizer Program to scan through your RuntimeLibraries folder and find every figure that uses the obj file... if nothing's found, the obj file is safe to delete!

Have you ever looked in your RuntimeGeometries folder to see what's there? If it's anything like mine, you could have TONS of sub-folders... and most of them have odd names. Wouldn't it be nice if you could reorganize the folders and files to YOUR liking? Well, now you can- just use the Poser Object Organizer Program to move the obj file to another folder AND change the figure file's reference.

Have you ever wanted a copy of the list of all the files in a folder, but couldn't figure out how? Sure, you could do a screen shot, but you're limited to how many things fit on the screen (and the fact that a screen shot is a graphical image). Now you can finally print the contents as plain text- simply click on a folder, click the Print button, and the list of folders and files will be saved to a text file- ready to be copied and pasted into other documents. You can even print the listing of all sub-folders within the selected folder!

When you download a "zip file" package, are you tired of having to place every file in its "recommended" location- usually in folder names like:
RuntimeLibrariesFiguresArtistNameCharacterNamefigure.cr2
RuntimeTexturesArtistNameCharacterNameCharacterName.jpg
Yes, this is a good method to remember the artist who created the item, but wouldn't it be nice if you could put these files wherever YOU like, and then change the cr2 file to reference the files in the new location? Well, now you can- just extract the files to a folder of your choice and use the Poser Object Organizer Program to adjust the cr2 file to correctly reference the files in their new locations.
(Of course, cr2 files must still go in a sub-folder under the "RuntimeLibrariesFigures" folder and images must go in a sub-folder under the "RuntimeTexture" folder. But, which sub-folder should be up to YOU- the user. After all, it's YOUR computer!)

What it is:
The Poser Object Organizer Program is a Windows application that combines basic Poser-type file-editting features with the familiar "tree-view" of Windows Explorer.
(Click here to see a comparison between the Poser Object Organizer Program and similar programs.)
Features include:

  • Expand any drive or folder.
  • "Expand" any Poser-type file (cr2, hr2, pp2, etc) to see what files it references.
  • -"Expand" the referenced files to have the program find their actual location on your hard drive.
  • -If the referenced location does not match the actual location, the program will correct this "discrepancy" for you- NO manual code-editting is needed!
  • "Expand" any obj file and you can scan the RuntimeLibaries folder to find figure files that may be referencing it. If no files reference that obj file, it is safe to delete!
  • Print the contents of any drive or folder (and choose to include sub-folders) to a text file.
  • Delete folders & files (you can set your preference to have the program move the files to the Recycle Bin or permanently delete them). If you delete a Poser-type file, the program will delete the rsr file as well.
  • Rename files; if you rename a Poser-type file, the program will rename the rsr file as well.
  • -"Protect" (or not) system files from accidental changes.
  • Change the application's colors (background color, text color, "tree" colors, etc.).
  • Open a file in its default application OR open a folder in Windows Explorer.
  • As you click on each item, certain options will become available- cut, copy, paste, rename, delete, etc.

System Requirements:

  • Software:
    --Poser not required for the operation of this program. (In fact, Poser must be closed for the delete, rename, and edit features to work properly.) Of course, the Poser Object Organizer Program is designed to work with Poser-type files, but it works great as a "file manager" program as well!
    --Does not require any additional installation of files or applications- all required files are included in the zip file.
  • Operating Systems:
    --This Program has been tested to work on: Windows 98, ME, NT (SP 6), 2000, XP, and XP Pro. Using this program on Windows 95 or Windows 3.1 is NOT recommended nor is it supported.
  • Hard Drive Space:
    --1M (approx) free space for downloading the zip file and then installing the program and supporting dll file.
  • Hardware:
    --Any Windows-based PC (Intel, Celeron, PowerPC, AMD, etc).
    --Memory: this program uses very little memory
    --Processor Speed: the faster your PC, the faster the search processes will run (such as when the program finds a referenced file in one of your folders).

Note: due to some severe problems with the installation process over-writing Windows 98 dll files, the zip contains the following files:

  • ObjectOrganizer.exe (application)
  • dll zip file (conataning the dll)
  • "readme" file for extracting the files and "registering" the dll.
  • a "shortcut" file for you to move anywhere else on your computer.

Disclaimer:

  • While every effort has been made to safeguard against accidental changes, there is always the possibility that you could permanently damage a file or delete a system file. The development team assumes no responsbility for any such damage. Remember to always use caution, and whenever possible, always have a backup copy of your important files.

Just to follow up: First, what's wrong with PayPal? :) It's an easy way to accept credit card payments without the "overhead" of paying for a bank or merchant-account. Second (and most importantly), a new version has been released- version 1.1. This corrects a new of "glitchy" things in version 1.0, including:

  • when scanning to see if an obj file is found within a figure file: 1) the program now displays a mini-screen (with progress bar) to give the user feedback while scanning 2) includes a button to allow the user to cancel the scan process 3) when a referencing figure file is found, the entire file's path is listed (instead of listing only the file name)
  • when renaming a Poser-type file, the program automatically renames the corresponding rsr AND/ OR png file (for Pro Pack users)
  • when deleting a Poser-type file, the program automaticaly deletes the corresponding png file (for Pro Pack users)
  • contents of folders should now be listed correctly (in alphabetical order)
  • corrected two glitches when correcting "discrepancies": 1) the texture (image file) name was listed twice 2) when making a backup copy of a figure file, the program wasn't removing an older backup file (first)
  • Other Poser-file types added to the "look in this" file: cm2 (camera), fc2 (face), hd2 (hand), lt2 (light) System-file types have a different icon (In fact, the new zip file now includes a list of what's changed in each version.) --John

117 evaporated dollars, that's what's wrong with PayPal plus an answer that translates to "sue us if you can".
