I'm getting waaaay too many pose categories, and have to scroll forever. So I've tried to create multiple Pose folders - e.g. Poses1(with its own group of pose sets), Poses2, and so on, down the line. Can't seem to find a way for Poser to see or show them even though they're there. It'll only show Poses, faces, hands, etc. Anybody know a way? p.s. I don't mean multiple folders within Poses, I mean multiple Poses headers.

heyas; nope, not with pre-poser 5. you can only have one level of sub-directories in each library. the good news is, you can change your pz2 file extention to lt2 or cm2 files (light or camera) and stick them in your light/camera libraries. er, which, theoretically, should be the least-used things and have plenty of room ;) in fact, my pose library has hit my tolerance limit, and i'm getting geared up to go clean that sucker out and organize it better. poser 5 can use different levels of sub-directories within the libraries. or, you could do the runtime-swapping deal in p4/ppp. but that rather depends on you knowing what poses you'll want before you start up poser. that method is basically creating multiple runtime structures on, say, cd, then swapping them into the real runtime directory before you start.

O.K. I follow all that, thanks.

There's also Pbooost in the market place which does the swapping in/out on demand.

Hi... Thanks, Bob... Yes, PBooost works in a similar way to what you're trying to do, but renames the folders to put them in-and-out of Poser. PBooost will take the monkey-work out of this approach! H:)
