Yeah, I know that there are free utilities to fix broken references in poser files. (ie, When you manually move your data files, sometimes poser will give you an error message about not being able to find a file). I've just written my own version of such a utility. It's also free (and who can't use more free stuff?). This one checks for, and fixes, broken references to mesh (OBJ) files, texture, bump, reflection, and other files. Plus, it understands Poser 6's compressed files, and checks those too.

I'd like to get some folks to beta test it. (Warning: You take responsibility for backing up your Poser data files in case something "bad" should happen).

Hopefully, if this works out, I'd like to start a second project -- a free utility to install ZIP files -- one that will separate files out to their logical Poser folders (ie, OBJ/OBZ files to the Geometries folder, etc), and then even create a utility to unstall all of the installed files, and list that in Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs. (It's a real pita to track down all the files associated with a particular character/prop/pose/etc. It would be so much easier for each item to have something in Add/Remove Programs you can click to remove that item).
