Ok, I've been looking over this, and pretty much any other thread involving this issue, and I'm gonna throw my two cents in, then slip back into the shadows: If this goes through, and I'm required to use OBJaction Mover to decode clothing so I can use it on Mike or Vicky 2, I'm going to make the process that much easier... I'm not going to make the purchase. I purchased Mike 2, I purchased Victoria 2. I went through long periods of headache and aggravation because the majority of the new morphs were useless unless I wanted naked characters. Clothing was a waste of time. Little if anything was made specifically to fit the new morph capability. Along came Tailor...a vrekkin GODSEND program, which I praise each and every time I use it. Now I can make nearly any clothing item work with the Millenium 2's, and I can focus on my art. I already deal with numerous issues every time I download an item, free or purchased. A sampling of the list: 1. Commercial use or not? 2. Oddball file locations (MAT files as CM2, for example) made necessary by Poser's limitations. 3. Getting the files where I want them in my libraries, not necessarily where the item creator put them. Now you're telling me that this 'solution' is going to add the NECESSITY to use OBJaction Mover to decode the files before I can even assess items 2 and 3 on the list? No thanks. And as far as this not affecting every clothing item? It's either got to affect them all, or none. This isn't a buffet, it's a business policy. That policy is going to affect the time it takes for creators to get their work approved, which in turn is going to affect the cost of the items. My art is expensive enough to create as it is. I've poured thousands of dollars into the programs and add-ons I use to create my art. I support the creators of the wonderful tools I've added to my creative palette, both with my buying dollar, and with my word-of-mouth advertising to friends in the art community. As whoopdat said, One of the first rules of commerce: Don't annoy the customer. This 'solution' would annoy me out of being a customer. And as Stan Lee says: "Nuff said." CT fades back into the shadows...
