When I got P7, I decided to use an external runtime folder for all my custom content. I figured this is a better plan for future upgrades, etc. I manually copied all 3rd party folders from the P6 Runtime folders to the new external folder (which is /Users/Shared/MyPoserLib/). Now when I open an old Poser document or even place one of these items (character, prop, etc), it asks me to locate its .obj, .pmd, or texture files. I thought maybe I could place the items, into a new document, then re-add them to the external runtime library, and hope that Poser would update the file to point to the found support files. Nope. When I open the prop in a text editor I can see that it still thinks its .obj should be in :Runtime:Geometries:blah. So, what's a person to do? This is pretty annoying? Why isn't Poser checking the a relative path in my external runtime folder?
