Hi.  I hope this wasn't talked about already and I just couldn't understand it.  Or missed it
maybe.  But here goes.

Let's say I created a character, a figure in P7 named Janet.  I don't do anything fancy or
complicated.  I start out with Sydney, play around in the face room, adjust the skin tone in
the material room with shades of gray, add hair, and that's it.  I'll save that new figure
as Janet Base Nude.  That's always my main file for that character.

But now, when I try to open that file in P8, it asks me to find that file, Janet Base Nude,
and it won't load anyway.  Only the hair will load.  Maybe I should mention that I've installed
all my external runtimes with no problem where the hair is located.

Anybody else having this problem?

Is there perhaps a way I can save the file differently in P7 before attempting to open in P8?

Or maybe more broadly, is anybody else encountering difficulties opening P7 files in P8?

Has this been talked about?

Is there another thread on this somewhere?

Thank you.
