I hope somebody can give me help,i have Poser4 with years
of models and stuff installed.
What i want to do is save each model out into its own dir
with everything in there (tex,trans,and model).
Trouble is with textures being in different dirs within
runtime/texture dir, pz3's only save model and leave
everything else behind.Problem is to find out what else is
needed I.E. tex/trans/bump,is not so easy unless you use
a text editor for each one which would take forever.
After saving all the models out i want to reinstall poser4
so i have cleaned everything up and got rid of all the rubbish that you collect over time.
There must be a easy way to do this i hope,what have others
done to clean up texture dir.
Thanks

I took a look here and almost passed and then I thought maybe you do need a littel input so I came back. IMHO I think the only way you have of making sure you have everything you want in a file folder for a PZ3 to work without any hassle is to look at the PZ3 and then take all those files into a folder and about the only way that I know is the one you don't want to hear, (read the file). Maybe that takes time but Poser never was a walk in the park.

I've wanted to do the same thing, but never got around to it... So I just now put together an independent utility to do the job. It's a DOS-level EXE, but will run from Windows just fine. Put SORTPZ3.EXE in the same folder with your PZ3s, run it, and you'll get a text file named PZ3CONTENTS.TXT in the same directory. This will list all the supposedly external elements of all the PZ3s in that folder. I think I've included all possible externals, and tried to leave out the repetitive standard things like cameras. The only exception is the OBJ files for primitive props; because different people will have different sets of primitives, I couldn't mechanically leave those out. Download from the URL given here.

Doesn't Wolfies(?) poser extractor do it?

Thanks guys for the help and i will give the sortpz3 prog a go, sounds great. I did try poser extractor some time back but if i recall it only worked on some models so i gave it a miss. Thanks again Steve B
