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?
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?
