Here's a keystroke to watch out for ...
When focus is on the library section, hitting the End
key closes Poser instantly, with no 'save' choice.
I was only trying to get to the bottom of a long list!

Oopsie!
The "Home" key has the same affect 
ockham posted Tue, 07 August 2007 at 2:01 PM
I guess "Go home!" is effectively the same command as "End it!"
Both tell Poser it's time to stop work and punch out.

Didn't do it here in P4 or P6.
In both of those, when END or HOME keys were pushed while focus was on a Library object, it jumped to the last frame, or first frame -- if the Animation Palette was open.
If the Animation Palette was closed the keys did nothing.
A P7 "feature" perhaps?

Yup, I'm sure it's new in 7. I hit those keys often in a scrolling list,
pretty much by instinct. If Poser had been closing on those keys I would have
noticed it before. Might even be new in one of the SR's on 7.

It happens in the original P7 (7.0.0.63)

Okay, I think I found the Trigger. For me, it only occurs if I have an unsaved File (one with no File Name). If anyone finds this is not the case for them, please contact e-frontier Tech Support.
I will also add that it does it for me in all versions of Poser when the File has not been saved yet or is not an existing File. (I had a hard time duplicating because I always open Poser by a File I am working on.)

@Ratscloset: Agreed in 7. When I start fresh, Home or End kills it; when I have a PZ3
loaded, no problem. As you said, this is probably why I hadn't noticed it before,
since I almost always work by modifying a 'template' PZ3.
But not agreed in 4; for me, Home and End do nothing at all
in 4 whether a PZ3 is loaded or not.
(I don't keep 5 and 6 installed, so can't tell with those.)

LOL ! I do not have Poser 4 installed.. (never owned that one... due to finaces, I went from Poser 3 to Poser 5 when I had the funds again to spend!)... I have confirmed it does occur in Poser 5 and Poser 6.

yeah, it does do it on an unsaved file state... I wonder if this is realated to the damn thing crashing every once in a while for absolutley no reason, like rendering, posing, just looking at it....
Khai posted Tue, 07 August 2007 at 10:28 PM
funny tho... I can't get poser six to do it here. no saved file, library selected and hit End or home.. and nothing. Poser Six is still there.....
ratscloset posted Tue, 07 August 2007 at 11:56 PM
Poser 6 was where I first noticed. I think it was a bit slow to close, but it still does. Vista does not close completely, which makes me think OS also is involved somehow. (Poser 6 is only on XP 64 amd Vista)

What's the big deal? For a pile of money, you can add network rendering that turns off your monitor when you hit the Space bar!
