I'm kind of confused that people would expect Vue to be able to work with P5 data at all. Vue 4 was released a year ago, when P5 would have been just a glimmer in CL's eye. It sounds like CL works well with partners who want to develop import functionality, but I'm sure its their priority to build native features into Poser, not make it backwards-compatible with every third-party's import utility. I would expect future versions of Vue to follow CL's upgrade, because Poser import is obviously very high on many people's lists. But I never expected a brand new version of Poser to work with an older version of Vue. I tend to like to see software 'burned-in' in the market before I buy it, so obviously my opinions will differ from some others. That being said, I would hope there's a workaround out there until Vue catches up with P5's new features. Perhaps there are options in P5 that let you save scenes in P4 formats, or a way to keep installations of P4 and P5 on a PC simultaneously.
