Here is an issue that has long annoyed me; that I was reminded of because of the events in my other thread,  In that thread, I was force to force close Poser, 

When I  had  restarted it, I went to reload the scene I was working on, and thanks to the wonder of Autosave, I had not lost all my work. So I picked the latest saved version and it did the thing that annoys me, it asked me to find a ".obj" file.

The thing was, I had previously found this particular .obj file before (I happened when I loaded a saved figure).  So why oh why didn't it update its location when I saved the scene?  My suspicion is that it retained the name MikiBobHair.obj rather than the mikibobhair.obj name I selected.  Windows is case insensitive but could it be that Poser is not?

I often see this with texture files (Vue in particular); I attribute it to the reorganization of storage I am forced to do every few years because humanity has yet to discover the secret of infinite storage.  Usually with textures it is a one time thing (until the next storage reorg).

If there is a setting I need to set to remediate this condition, I'd appreciate being informed of it. I've learned to save complete texture paths when exporting to .obj (which helps the import into Vue and Blender),  but I'm wondering if there's a similar setting for the .pz3 files, and perhaps one that toggles on case insensitivity,
