Hey guys, I've run across a little annoyance with P7 when saving new figures to the library. I've just set up a clothing cr2, and P7 is saving the entire path to the geometry from the C: drive (eg: C:/Program Files/CuriousLabs/Poser 6/Runtime/Geometries/Folder/Filename.obj) instead of listing ithe path as * :Runtime:Geometries:Folder:Filename.obj.* Now I am using an external runtime (my old P6 one) so is this the reason why, or is there some other reason? (a new helpful feature perhaps)
Thanks for the help!

Not sure if it has anything to do with it but if you look at the P7 installation, it is now "program files**/e-frontier**/poser7"
Curious labs has been dropped altogether, probably nothing to do with it but I noticed it.
Good luck!
Injustice will be avenged.

Since the original geometry is in your P6 runtime, P7 has to know where it is to be able to reference the obj file. That's why you see the absolute path and not a relative one. If the obj were in your P7 runtime geometries file I'm sure you'd see a relative path.

That explanation is of course wrong. If the cr2-file is saved to the P6 runtime together with the obj, then there's no need for an absolute reference. Only in a pz3 file an absolute reference would make sense. I'd say the programmers have no more idea what Poser's file references should look like. Bug report it. Does the same with textures, too...

Nice ... since the .cr2 was saved to the P7 library and the .obj is in the P6 library. Try reading the entire thread before assuming someone is wrong.

Actually, the cr2 was saved to the P6 library through P7. I have the P6 runtime set up as the default runtime for P7 at the moment. The obj is saved to the correct P6 Geometries folder, but the problem is that it generated an absolute path. I'll try loading it from the P7 runtime to see if that fixes the absolute path issue.
