I use poser 5 I didn't try pz3 renaming to cr2 yet...

Already did that and found nothing. Okay its editable, its an text file.. but there isn;t an descent repair tool. so saving it from time to time should be an primitieve direction... So were to look for in the pz3 file? I dont have a clue and did all work AGAIN! So now i am looking for tools, which there aren't any, and if there is an auto save option, so at least i have an previous .bak or .sav or .at_least_i_have_something. Damn.. What do they in those Labs, i am realy Curious...

Well i think thats it still is an programmers/porting issue. Why is it on a mac slow as ..ll with... same set loaded in poser etc... So if there are any Poser programmers are listening. Fix this issue? If i have to add more Gb RAM in my machine, an nix based own not an DOS-OS ;-) One thing i also would like to add in the "war" is .. Why did Microsoft build the registry? Whats wrong with cfg files just simple text based files.. its so easy ;-) Thanks for the thoughts and i think i buy some more RAM for my hey it still is an beautifull machine.... the G5 ;-)

Okay is there anything i could do to undo these missteps in Poser 5 on the OSX platform.. If adding more RAM should do the trich i'll buy some more.... If i must resize some other things like the swap file (which i think is irrelevennt with this issue) i will do that.. I notice also when playing with light in only an V3 with some textures, and adding some poses i also see alotta beach balls... ;-( (and okay its off topic.. i think both platforms OSX and XP has its benefits, only in the short time i had my beautiful nice outfit in the form of an G5, i had to reinstall XP twice, to make it run smoothly)

Yep so i would guess that Poser on the OSX is taken far more time than doing it on my Windows XP machine. What am i trying to tell.. I use poser 5 latest patches.. With the same poser 5 file with some architecture etc. When i compare the "i put my mouse over the building" on two different machines The machines are totally pathed till the end. And are Mac OSX 10.3.x with dual 2 GHz and 1,5 Gb memory Windows XP SP1 with AMD 64 3200+ with 1,5 Gb memory. The mac sure lack with response when i only move the mouse over the building, while the XP machine has no problem at all. My guess... Poser 5 OSX must go back to the test lab because this is totally unexceptable.. in my opinion. I am almost sure of the fact that the OSX port of the Poser Programm is badly done. I think when DAZ comes with his programm then the poser days are counting down. I tried also the same thing in DAZ studio on the mac.. lack to its beta state it does the same thing in speed mode and i dont see any beach balls..

Could you be so kind to test it with an extreme architecture thingy... I am losing my mind and only see the colors of the beach ball... ;-( this is no fun...

Well i have also no problems if i just stick with a "simple" pose. If i made an e.g. victoria 3 and some nice roman buildings with plants oeps... its stops humming and you can see poser has difficulties to keep the speed going.I also running panther.. and patched up2date.

Well i have 1,5 Gb. I also have an PC with 1,5 Gb memory, AMD 64. Thats running XP Both machines are upgraded to the latest available Poser 5 version and OS. When i open the same poser5 composition. I dont have the irritating wait times when you only move your mouse over the objects. When i check with the top command in OSX is see that poser is consuming all of the CPU power, so that's causing the wait. So maybe its a serious BUG inside the OSX version. Ok when i only load an figure and some clothes no problem, but with some real nice building.. its takes forever.. Is there no other way to troubleshoots this behavious, because its (in my opinion) totally unexectable, and you really can not work this way on an mac. Tried also to do the same thing in Daz Studio, and that progam does it with NO real CPU time taken. So i guess its an real Poser5 OSX issue...
