So.... I'm wanting to open up my CR2's and see if I can redirect the paths so that the program will be able to find OBJ's like it should, but... Well, the tie up is that I don't exactly know what a text editor is. I work on a Mac. Anyone have any suggestions on what i need to do here?

Get a copy of BBEdit lite (free), sorry cannot give URL off top of me head tho possibly www.barebones.com. You could purchase full version 6 but lite will do the trick... Before you start duplicate your cr2 file. Just in case... Open BBEdit and open cr2 file. This will give you a series of lines of text mainly in form of numbers. Do a find for .obj and this should locate the two lines that point to your .obj file. Edit both these lines so that they point to the .obj file and the folders that your .obj file is nested in. Then hit save, not save as (if you do a save as you will need to change the file Creator/Type in Resedit to cr2T/PZ3A, otherwise Poser will not see it as a Poser file). Put back in Poser library folder and open from within Poser. All should hopefully be ok.... flamethedog

I use the dreaded Microsoft Word (curse you, Bill Gates!), and save it as DOS text (actually, acsii text). To get around the problem flamethedog mentioned I run it through Mac Converter, that makes a Mac file out of it again.

Use the CR 2 Editor, a shareware program in the utilities section of Renderosity. For Windows only, it converts poser files into a directory - tree-like structure for easy editing. Good luck.

Find current versions of Mac freeware and shareware at Version Tracker. Besides Bbedit, another popular shareware text editor is Alpha. I've been using MPW for a loooong time, and now that it's free from Apple, I continue to use it.
