I would leave it as is. Since it reports exactly what it has changed and what the replacement file was, I can easily scan through afterwards and see if I want to manually fix any of the changes. I'm just super happy with it. Like I've mentioned, I never ever install textures in their default locations, so this is going to save me work every time I install something. Now what I REALLY want is a database driven app for the organization of Poser files. If you've ever used DreamWeaver... like the file management system in that. The first time you run it, it has to scan through all your OBJs, Textures, CR2s and so on. It gives a unique ID to every object and databases them along with their location. It indexes the CR2s as well, databasing the geometry and texture references in each, cross-referenced with the index numbers of those external objects. Once it does that the first time, it can straight off give you a list of unreferenced OBJs (safe to delete) and you use it like Windows Explorer. If you move a texture, the CR2 that references it will automatically be updated. If a texture is missing, it can give you a list of possible matches. It stores the "last indexed" date for each file and when you run it again it only needs to index files that are new or modified since the last indexing. It can do uninstalls since it knows what file is linked to what. It can be used to move files into external Runtimes to be stored on CDs for Poser 5. It can make biscuits and sing. :) I will pay handsomely for that app. :) I am actually going to try to code it myself, ut I don't think I'm going to be able to manage it, so I offer up the suggestion to any taker.
