Hi, has anyone tested Sr2 on a mac yet? Plus and minus? Best, Mats

The popup menus now work. My render hasn't crashed yet, but hasn't had time to finish, either. I never had the "dialogs stuck behind" problem, but it seems now that may have been a symptom of an incompatible DivX plugin in the first place. Basically, the obvious problems I'd had before are gone. The fact that my render (on which I'd given up after numerous attempts) is a good sign but not yet conclusive. So at worst, it's substantially improved over SR1.

Is there a way to deactivate the Divx plug-in on Mac?

Aside from running the SR2 plugin- which should get Poser to ignore DivX, according to e-frontier people I've talked to- you can open the root-level Library folder, open the QuickTime folder that's in there, and move the DivX 5.component file from the QuickTime folder to anywhere else. That fixed it for me, and it's consistent with ef's FAQs. -- BG63

BrainGuy63, you're right about the procedure of deactivating DivX 5. Now that SR2 is released, that shouldn't be needed any more though. While DivX 5.2 is still not officially supported on Tiger (which means you're on your own, it might or might not work), all the problems it caused in Poser 6 should be fixed now. Poser will not ignore DivX after installing SR2. You can take a chance and try to use it. Hope this helps, Uli
