What I know about Python scripting, is how to activate and use some of the reaaly cool scripts everybody makes, beyond that, zero.

I have seen Library icons (don't know what else to call them), used to connect to scripts to delete the lights and or launch scripts. So my dumb question of the year regarding scripting is can you use Python scripting to navigate the Library.

Two thoughts come to mind.

1.) I am in the figures Library and I have loaded a piece of clothes. I hit an icon and changes the Library to the Mat Pose Library associated with that piece of clothes.

2.) You can have hair in the Hair Library and in the  figures Library. You place an icon in the hair Library that represents a hair style in the figures Library. You scan down the icons and think, cool this one looks perfect for the scene I want to create. You click on it and it changes the Library from the Hair Library to the Figures Library where the hair peice is really located. Then going back to example 1, have a script take you to the correct Mat Pose Library for that hair piece.

I realize that this would have to be hard coded in the much like what I have done myself to trigger the Netherworks cloth kits. Here is an example of what I am taking about. Not a lot of code. Something the user could possibly even pass a variable to the script that is the proper location yu want to jump to.

{

version
    {
    number 6
    }
runPythonScript ":Runtime:Python:poserScripts:ClothKit:NWS-AllMagnetsOn.py"
}

Any how,  to stop a long winded message from becoming longer. Is this even possible? If so I think it would be a great addition for all poser users.  And no, I don't want to write the script myself. I fgiured I could con, bribe or pay somebody else to create it that knew what they were doing.

thanks

1.  No, not actually. You cannot change the library type or runtime.

2°. No again... but if you want, I think you can put the Hair figure in the hair library (don't forget to change the extension (cr2 -> hr2 or crz -> hrz).

This isn't what you asked, but may be worth considering anyway. Look into Advanced Library or P3dO Explorer which both work in conjunction with PRPC. These are ways of bypassing the Poser library palette altogether. You can arrange your library files in any way you like, without having to conform to Poser's folder restrictions - so you can, if you want, have a clothing item, smart props, and MAT poses all in one folder for example. I use PRPC and P3dO, and never normally open my Poser library during a session. :)

Thanks EnglishVob, but I am on a Mac and those are Windoze apps. Workings towrds fetting an Intel Mac in the fall. Right now moeny budgeted elsewhere.

Does PRPC work on Poser 7 Mac? If so, I could put more effort in getting Advanced Library to run on the Macs ;-)
