I have all my runtimes except my basic Poser 8 runtime on an external HD.  I am forever accidentally starting P8 without my external HD plugged in.

I lose all my runtimes, and this creates many problems for me.  In P7, I used Shaderwork's runtime utilities to add all of them again.  It was a little bit annoying, but I managed :)  The script doesn't work in P8.  Here are my problems in P8.

1.  When I add all the new runtimes via the included Shaderworks script, it adds a NEW Poser 8 runtime as well as a NEW Downloads runtime.  I guess that's because I have those runtimes in my Poser 7 setup, so it copies those over again.   I can delete the second copy of Poser 8, but I can't delete the copy of the Downloads runtime.  The "remove runtime" button (a little file with a minus sign on it) doesn't appear when I have that runtime selected.  Now I'm up to five instances of the Download runtime (which has nothing in it and I want to get rid of it).  How do I stop this from duplicating those two runtimes?

  1.  If I've added a new runtime since having Poser 8, I guess I need to go and add it to Poser 7 so I can use this utility?

3.  Shouldn't there be an easier way of doing this?  Is there somewhere I can save my current preferences and reload them quickly?  Can't Poser be a little more forgiving and just remember those runtimes if they just aren't there? 

Frustrated....

How can I easily get them all back?
