I have a python script i use a fair bit in poser pro but have to run it from- file- run python script , and then i have to find it it because it looks in the last folder i looked in for somthing else. is there a way to add it to the drop down list headed scripts ? so that i can run it from there?

Poser 7 and later:-

If you place the script in or below the directory
Poser 7RuntimePythonposerScriptsscriptsMenu

It will appear when you click on the Poser top menu item "Scripts"

The other method is to edit one of the button lines in
Poser 7RuntimePythonposerScriptsmainButtons.py

Your script will then be available as one of the ten defaults in the Python Script pallet.
Window > Python Scripts.

Hope this helps.

Have a look into your "Poser-Python Methods Manual".
A description is in the first chapter:

"Poser includes a simple graphical user interface that allows you to execute Python scripts from either of two locations within the program, by clicking a button. You can customize the Python Scripts palette and, in addition, can run Python scripts directly."

PhilC is the man!!! and he's absolutely right.  I just got through editing both my mainButtons.py and my mainWacros.py so that I have quick access to a couple of new scripts that I'm using a lot.

It took me a while to catch on, and it's a bit confusing until you actually get it set up.  So I'll take the confusion out of it :)

Save the attachment and change the extension from .txt to .py

Save it in the following path:

C:Program FilesCurious LabsPoser 6RuntimePythonposerScripts

Having done that you will now see that when you open the python window you will now have the following 2 options:

SubMenu
SubMenu 1

Those SubMenus will allow you to add more python scripts.  So when you want to add a script, you edit the SubMenu.py or the SubMenu1.py  file  instead of the MainButtons.py file.

For example, I have a gazillion scripts by Ockham. 

Here is what my SubMenu.py script looks like.

If you save the file to your desktop and open it in Notepad, you will see that I have both versions of Wardrobe Wizard, plus I have 3 lines for Ockham, and an entry for Dimension3D.

When I open my SubMenu from the python window, I see:

Wardrobe Wizard
Wardrobe Wizard 2
Ockham Scripts
Ockham Scripts
Ockham Scripts
Dimension3D

When I click on any one of those, I am taken to yet another python window showing further scripts.  So for example if I want to access a specific script by Ockham, I will find it under one of the 3 entries I have showing for him.  When I'm done, I c an just click on "back to main button".

I have my Ockham scripts saved in the following path:

C:Program FilesCurious LabsPoser 6RuntimePythonposerScriptsOckhamOckham Scripts

I also had to create 3 .py files in this path so that I could add the scripts. I created:

OckhamMenu.py
OckhamMenu2.py
OckhamMenu3.py

I have my Dimension3D scripts saved in the following path:

C:Program FilesCurious LabsPoser 6RuntimePythonposerScriptsDimension3D

In order to add his scripts, I have the following file inside this path:

Dimension3D.py

Basically for each person who has multiple scripts, I create a folder for that person and add a .py script (essentially a renamed mainbuttons.py edited to hold the scripts I want)  in order to save the scripts in one place.

This is too cool, Acadia.  Thanks for the info but I can't find the script originally posted by Dimension3D that started this thread.

He must have removed it.  

I found it over on his website so all is well.
