Suddenly a thought came to my mind. Why isn't there a tab in the library to easily click on python scripts?

There is, under "Windows" and "Python Script"

There is only one or two spaces to add scripts, but if you use one of those places for a sub menu button, you can add a whole lot more.

Dimension3D explained to me how to do that in this thread:

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi

P7 has a MUCH better way of doing it.  Almost as easy as the library. Any script you put into

runtime:python:poserScripts:ScriptsMenu

will show up in this menu.  You can set up any number of folders and layers
within that directory, and the menu will handle them as shown here.

The P7 menu is ok, but not as convenient as the library palette, IMO.

The cool thing about the palette is you can navigate to some folder and it stays there. With the Python scripts menu, you have to fly-out/fly-out over and over again.

I have been experimenting with another abuse of the Pose library. You know how we have MAT-Pose files that change materials? How about a PY-Pose file? As I understand it, it is possible to make a pose file that invokes a python script. However, when I tried it, I was unable to make it work to my satisfaction.

In the past, I was able to do to this. One of the things that my Apollo Maximus shader kit does is run a script after you load my materials.

I was recently using Poser Pro and there may be something different there. In certain situations, it doesn't run the script. It may (probably does) have something to do with how the path is specified (colons? slashes? absolute path? relative path? in random folders versus Runtime:Python script folders?). I'd like to be able to install scripts anywhere and run them from library palette icons.

That's good news. I am using P7 maybe I could give it a try. What's the process?

The command is runPythonScript

I'm not totally clear on the ins and outs. There is wierdness. I have read about the command a number of times. Here are some interesting threads:
