Hi all,

I have recently come across a weird occurance in Poser 6, that I can't seem to figure out..I am guessing it's happening because of the number of thumbs I have.

I have been doing hair packs for some time, and have recently (the last few packs or so) expanded the set to include 100 hair textures.  But now it seems that the thumbnail for #100 does not display properly.  If I open the png in any image viewer it is fine... just won't display correctly in Poser 6 (as seen above).  Checked in P7 and it's fine.

At one point I had deleted all my thumbs and redid them all, but you can imagine how frustrating this can be, even if, in the case of hair texture expansions, it's a re-sized version of the 'hair texture' in raw form (make sense?)

Oh and for the sake of mentioning it.. My numbering sequence is as follows:
001, 002, 003...... 100 (in order for the order to be correct)

Any ideas how this can be avoided?

Thanks in advance!

It has been quite some since I used Poser 6, currently using PoserPro.  There is a finite default on how many thumbnails to display but IIRC that number can be changed under general preferences.  In PoserPro, at least, the choices for 'Thumbnail Display' are 'Never collapse thumbnails' and 'Display text-only when number of folder items exceeds'.  I do recall changing the number to 500 with that second choice in Poser 6.

It's rather unlikely, but is it something to do with this setting in Preferences? (I don't even know if you have that setting in Poser 6).

(edit) by jingo he's quick on the draw.

Cool. I never knew about that setting.  Thanks you two...

I changed it to 150, but the last thumb still shows up wonky.  Weird.  Maybe I'll try redoing just the last thumb now that the setting has been changed.  :-S

I'd say that what you are not seeing is the alpha channel for the png, happens a lot lately.
I use Irfanview to reconvert them. For some reason P3do doesn't do it.

I must remember to remember what it was I had to remember.

I haven't used P3do in a long time, but heard that it often causes a similar occurances..  I did manage to find a work around.. Odd and maybe a little tedious.. but it worked.

I ended up downloading and re-installing P3do in the end, and opened each the thumbs and resaved as rsr, then opened Poser and navigated to the folder with the problematic thumb, and voila it was there.. when I went back to the folder in Windows Explorer, it had created fresh png files.
