I use UltraEdit-32 because it can handle these 100MB+ Poser files rather quickly as well as work as an all around text/Hex editor. Along with many capabilities, it is also capable of displaying syntax highlighting and section folding (which is invaluable to close those massive delta or internal geometry sections!). Well, it would be invaluable if there was a Poser syntax highlighting. Now there is. Very basic, but it highlights major sections, subsections, channels, keywords, constants, numbers (automatically), strings (automatically), comments and allows folding on the sections as well as between figureResFile keywords (can be slow on the definition section of large files). The reason I did this was because 1) CR2Edit is slow, 2) I'm cheap and don't want to pay $25-$50 just to analyze (or edit on occasion) Poser files when the ability can be handled in UltraEdit32, and 3) without folding, too much junk to get around (endless morph lists and so on). If you are interested, the WordFile can be downloaded at this link: Poser WordFile for UltraEdit32 It will need to be unzipped and the contents added to the WordFile.txt in "C:Program FilesUltraEdit". If you've already added other syntaxes to this, don't forget to change the /Ln number from /L20 to something unused. Enjoy!

Neat! Thanks for sharing this information. Every bit of help helps. Cheers, jlovesart2

Works like a charm, thanks.

thank you! this will come in handy, since ultraedit is my editor of choice on the windows side.

One thing that I'd like to add: If you find UltraEdit is taking too long to do anything once you start folding, change these lines from: /Open Fold Strings = "{" "figureResFile" /Close Fold Strings = "}" "figureResFile" "setGeomHandlerOffset" to /Open Fold Strings = "{" /Close Fold Strings = "}" Seems that the folding gets a little confused and slow with the multiple Fold strings. Less functional, but much faster.

Thanks kuroyume! Great stuff. Can you collapse all the folds at once, or is it something you have to do one line at a time?

Go to "View >> Hide/View Lines" in the menus to expand or collapse all. I just wish that it had a way to do level folding so that you could fold all of the channels or body parts, for instance.

At the moment I Use EditPad Lite, but after seeing your post I decided to give UltraEdit a try. I very much like the column select function, something I have wanted for a long time. I Love your WordFile, especially the ability to fold up sections of the file! Thanks so much for this! Never quite satisfied, I wonder if it is posible to edit your WordFile so that the 'deltas' and 'geomCustom' blocks are folded up by default, and if so could you point me in the right direction?

I too looked into some sort of 'pre-folding', but have not found anything about it (yet). If I do find a way to have certain folding sections pre-folded, it will be posted here with an update.

The only way around that is to fold what you want to fold, bookmark the fold and save the file. Setting "Automatically Unfold on Find & Goto" in the Configuration (Editor Display) helps in finding what's hidden in the fold.
