The thread is about all euopean customers, that will have this problem, not specifically me.

I can still afford buying the software , many people not, partly due to ridiculess shipping costs.

The reason for posting here is too see if there are a few or a lot off EU customers, that share the same thought.

If so, then there is enough reason to write to SM.

If not, then writing to SM will have not have any effect, because off an individual problem.

My expectation for now  is , any reaction here from a non EU member, will tell me this is not the place to post this.

I still hope any EU member will agree there is a post here about this real practical problem.

Try to imagine, you had to pay for all this kind off unfair shipping costs, in the past for all version, would you individually contact SM, expecting a solution.

Come on.

No this kind of organizations will take any complain maybe seriously :  if there are hundreds off complains.

Therefore this post.

A call for EU poser Customers, do you agree, or not agree with this kind off unfair shipping costs

Fedex i think is a lot cheaper, and foreign normal post also.

But i think SM is afraid people customers  get in contact saying they received nothing at home.

UPS has a kind off guarantee for SM it ( the package )  is 100% delivered, and the customer has to pay for that.

If i order a musical software package in the US at Soundsonline.com i will pay 22.95 euro for shipping to the netherlands but shipped by Fedex.

I don't think it will have any effect when i write to SM.

Thats why i post here to collect as many european customers as possible, that have the same problem.

On the other hand it can be important for others here, to hear why digital download is limited to one platform.

It looks like they have no retail network in europe, but still will have the  european customers

I do agree with Operaguy.

Poser pro always has been advertised as a higher level poser program.

Now at this moment they ( SM ) can not offer  Poser Pro 8 version.

So i think it is very real to give this poser 8 version for free to subscribed Official Poser Pro 7 owners.

Now SM want Poser pro 7 owners to BUY !!!! the lower level software package to get the new program features.

Later on they want Poser pro 7 owners to pay a second upgrade if they want the Poser Pro 2010 version.

That's very strange, and not realistic.

This is for me SM hunting on collecting money, instead off appriciate the Pro 7 owners.

At least they could have given this poser 8 version to the Pro owners for a very little fee, instead of 129 dollar

Sorry hbore,

I am running Smith Micro Poser pro, the Help/about Poser tab tells me version 7.04.220.
So i think i am correct.

Dont Laugh,

I am a poser owner from the beginning, and updates always to the new version.
I never felt good with the programin the past, because has no professional structure.

The application allows everyone that makes characters for selling, to be used within the program.

I think here is the problem.

The poser application has no rules for making a character, Everyone can make his own character and can  use names as to their likeling.

The professional character makers always use their own structure, so for instance Thorneworks characters are always in the same place, they use an individual hierarchie.

I think there is a big problem within the Poser application, many users like it.
The pro version has a pro price, but is not !!! a pro application.

How should Poser look like in its behaviour.

The poser owner should have the possibility to make sub tabs for the different characters in all catagories :

• V4

• V3

• The Girl

• Etc etc.

• The different  tabs within a certain catagorie should only show little thumbnails of the pictures.

• The moved characters within some catagories should automatically update their related files for reference (  for instance *.pz2 files and more kind of files if  needed )

Poser in my way of thinking should be a creative program.

Every creative program is based on a visual experience.

Poser at this moment is not.

All kind off tricks has to be done , like different runtimes, not one but many.

In reality for every character, every hair per character etc etc.

Why does the community not write to the real owner of poser at this moment,with what they want.

For years poser has already the same problem, NO REAL PARAMETER AND FILE ORGANIZATION.

Help programs like pboost etc. etc. do not work in Vista, because of the fact their help files are real original 32 bist and are never updated.

64 bits programs can not read their help files.

For me the only solution looks like correct all *. pz2 files by hand for their real referred Object file location.

Well thats impossible to do for my many characters.

So i will ask the community,

If you agree with my or this problem, write to the owner off this programm.

That is the only way to get a real professional solution.

As long as people use utilities to solve the poser program problems , SMITH MICRO WILL NOT DO ANYTHING FOR A PROFESSIONAL METHOD OF ORGINAZING.

And the Utilities now available will not work in vista 64.

THANK YOU FOR READING,

I HOPE YOU WILL WRITE YOUR PROBLEMS TO THE MOST RECENT OWNER SMITH MICRO>

In your case you have to install many packages a few times because many packages are for more then one character.

some packages ( character and hair ) have sometimes 6 character fits.

This is not a real professional solution.

There should be a utility, that can automatically reassign the location of a *.obj file in the correlated *.pz2 files

I am installing my old poeser libary in a new way in poser 5, and i used poser 5 for a lot of old characters and textures, and till now i had also many errors like you discribe
