I have an issue with searching the Marketplace items: Here's the situation- Suppose you need a chair for your scene. You decide that you want to purchase one (because you can't find the right one in the Free Stuff section or you just want to be a nice person and help support the artist). Anyway, you click on the Marketplace link, click on the Search link, and then type in "chair". You then get back lots of results, including chair objects, furniture sets with chairs, poses for sitting on chairs, and artist names with the word "chair". But, what you don't get back is what format the item is in- nothing that says whether the model is for Poser, Vue, Lightwave, or if it's in pp2, obj, 3ds format, etc. Yes, some items list the program in the "System Requirements", but not all do. Some items actually say "for Poser 5" on them, but again, not all do. And some items (poses for Poser, shaders for Bryce, etc) are obvious. Is there anyway to add this information to the description for an item? --John
