Exactly. Several of Snarly's scripts which are addons, I literally use daily. My default library is Semidieu's Library Manager 2.6 from the old RDNA site that works perfectly in Poser 11.3-- for now. According to what am reading, those would be rendered dysfunctional with this step.

If not, I would appreciate a clarification from those working with Poser now. I put aot of money and faith into this software. This move would severely dishearten me and disturb my workflow without offering much else.

Again, please explain in plain English if am missing something. I am an end user, not a programmer or coder.

Almost all vendors who deal with Python are officially dropping support for Python 2.x in 2020. It's going to happen whether you like it or not. Vendors don't want to keep to the old rules because they're limiting. Personally I'd try to find a way to host both versions in Poser. I run both in Windows just fine, and while I understand that Poser is a bit more tightly coupled to the Python engine, it still seems plausible to support both, and to auto-detect which flavor a particular script was written for.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)

Thanks for the info, sir, that is very instructive.

Most of Semidieu's add-ons stopped working when I upgraded to Poser 11. Many have been replaced by Netherworks add-ons. I would have a hard time working in Poser without Advanced Library Manager but after the forced upgrade last year it started acting funny. Specifically when I go to save a figure or prop to the Library it does a full size sketch render and uses that for the thumbnail instead of a regular render.

Anyone have an idea of why that happens and a potential fix? I'd hate to reinstall and have to add back my over-large set of Runtimes, favorites, prefs and etc.

Have you tried Snarlygribbly fix? So far everything I use works again after running that script fix, granted I dont use many scripts but the library manager is one of them, I just havent reinstalled it yet,So will find out later today.

I'm not aware of the SnarlyGribbly fix, must have missed it. Where can I find it? or is it a process?

Snarly's fix will work on the Library Manager but there are many others that will still don't work after it is applied.

Just wanted to thank CHK2033 and ghostman for alerting me to Snarly's fix. I live in the Library Manager and now it seems to work as before. I'm almost back to where I was when Rendo forced the upgrade on us.

On a related note and not wanting to take away anyone's livelyhood, but I would be extremely happy if Rendo added some of the features included in these many addons to Poser itself in version 12. I'm not sure what could entice me to plunk down my money otherwise.
