If my Poser 11 can't find a geometry or material file at the place stated, it looks through my Poser system for a file in another folder (under Runtime) with the same local name. That is useful.

• How can I get a list of where each such file was alleged to be and where my Poser 11 found it?

• How can I save my Poser job to another name with these file addresses changed to where my Poser 11 found them?

Try the search of your OS, it will find the needed file. With that location edit the cr2. You'll find it under figureResFile but make sure you edit both instances. As far as I know are there tools available that will do the job for you, as far as I remember they are from D3D or from PhilC.

Thanks; but I have a program called chekobjp which I wrote to do this. I first wrote it in or before 1999 in my old faithful Borland C++ 4.52, which eventually stopped working because of Windows system changes, and I went over to Visual C++. Yesterday I upgraded my chekobjp_vc (as I call it now; _vc = Visual C++) to get it to handle properly the .obj file calls in alternate geometries.

My query was: it seems that modern Poser versions, if they can't find an .obj file, they look for a file with the same local name in the geometry folder and its subfolders in all of that Poser installation's current runtimes; and if it is not so found, it asks the user. I feel that there should be an option for Poser to write the current job to a .pz3 file changing all .obj lines where a search or asking the user was needed. Not everybody is as skilled as I am at text-editing .pz3 files.

I wish i could just turn off that {..} search feature.
