I've searched the forums and read the (incomprehensible) Poser Python Manual but can't find any way of amending the standard presentation of the Python Window in P6.

I'd like to re-arrange this with new folders that I can access for my specific preferences (i.e SVDL's and Ockham's morph reduction scripts.

Is there anyway that I can do this so that each time I start Poser my python folder preferences appear?

You need to edit the file Poser 6RuntimePythonposerScriptsmainButtons.py If you open that file in Notepad it should be self evident what is required. Simply edit the path to the Python script that you want to run when the button is clicked.

To make it even easier, you can tell Poser to use Notepad  (or any
other editor) as the "official" editor for Python.  This choice is in the
General Preferences.

Then you can revise any of the palette buttons inside Poser by simply
Ctrl-Clicking on the button.

DOH!  Of course!  A classic example of looking what's really in the box rather than trying to look and work outside it.

I'll try this over the next few days.  I guess I'm going to have to look at some of the subfolders to see how I can change those as well as creating new ones.  Pity that CL didn't think to put in some form of change menu to do what I am asking for!

Many thanks!
