So I finally updated my poser. The thumbnails in the library are so tiny. I can't see what anything is. I tried finding a way to make them bigger but I couldn't. I should mention that I have never actually used poser 11 despite having bought it a couple of years ago. I'm used to the poser 6 setup. I loved the large thumbnails it had. Is there a way to enlarge the thumbnails other than making my own? I'm thinking bondware took the name "thumbnail" quite literally!

It wasn't Bondware so don't speculate. The current Poser Library is a hold-over from previous Poser iterations and there is a solution. The screencap below shows you where to click to reveal the settings necessary to change thumbnail size.

Thank You! I really appreciate the screenshots, made it easy for me to understand. Now i need to install the several gigs of awesome content that came with it :)

Good luck. Be mindful to install your assets into the shared runtime folder and not the primary Poser runtime if you are running Windows. Poser 6 needed to have the content installed into the primary folder but, now, with the current version of Windows and Poser, the Program Files folder is off-limits with the exception of scripts. My recommendation is to create several content runtimes to organize what you have and link them to Poser for easier access.

This is exactly why I don't install the "software" in Program Files since I gave up on my old WinXP Pro laptop years ago. IIRC, that was the last version of Windows that allowed content to be in the same location as the software itself without issues.

you could still have the runtime in program files if you so desired, you would just have to launch poser as an elevated program ( as administrator ) to do so; tho' It is safer not to do that.

True, but I try not to have to run things as administrator, so I prefer to install software outside of Program Files.

Running Poser as Administrator is a real security threat as python scripts can be run from poses, figures etc without the user being aware
