Depending on whether this needs to run on MacOS as well, you could use Windows' SendKeys function and create an external toolbar to send commands to Poser. These commands can fire at the menu itself, almost invisibly calling "file:run python script" and selecting a script with no need for interaction (or it can stop at this point and allow selection of a script manually, but there's no real point in that). This allows for a virtually limitless amount of script buttons visible at any time (imagine just having all of your favorites accessible at once), especially since you can configure the font size to as small as you're comfortable with. I've been using it for a while to run commands that have no hotkey that I want to be able to get at without menu digging. The program I use is here (such a program already exists): http://www.zoology.ubc.ca/~rikblok/software/toolbar/index.html As for MacOS, there is probably a way to do something similar in AppleScript. As an aside, what I would love in a service release is for those horribly oversize room tabs to go away, replaced by entries in the Window menu. I am continuously hitting the hair and cloth tabs when trying to grab the rotate view widget. ARGH!!! ;P

Thank you Ockham, you're a real gem :) I wonder if perhaps taking advantage of the script-within-a-preset trick might work here? Save a blank light set that calls a light-creating Python script to do the actual placing of lights in the scene. No way for Poser to screw that up (fingers crossed). Connatic: Unfortunately, I need soft shadows. I agree with you about the shadowcams being unwieldy, but since I use them only when I need soft shadows, they don't really consume a lot of resources. I am actually glad that Poser's raytrace lights don't support soft shadows, because that would require a humongous amount of resources.

Nope. Poser refuses to save shadowmaps in light files, so only modifying the file itself or saving a new one manually behind Poser's back will work. I really want to strangle the numbskull responsible for this "feature"...

Basically an extension of the delete lights scripts we all know and love. I can get it to load a specific lightset by path/name, but I want to be asked for the name so I can choose without having to edit the script every time. (1) Delete all lights (2) prompt user for light file to load (3) load chosen light file The reason I load lights this way is because I have a ton of light files that Poser has munged up so that shadowcams are absent for some/all lights. Conversely, a Py script to process a directory of light files to repair the missing shadowcams would also be nice.

They are bauetiful, when will they be avialable for download?

I agree with everyone:)

How on earth can she swim in that? Why, it's totally...oh, wait, you already know. ------------------------------------------------------------ "To those who have: give. To those who have not: get a job!"
