The other day I figured out that Poser will NOT let you load more than a certain amount of Pose files and folders without having loading problems. I used to have 278 folders at 177MB. I took about 1/3 of them out and now all of them load properly. Now I don't know what to do with the other folders I had to take out. Is there anyway I can add a new catagory (Folder) to the tabs list that contains Characters,Hair,Poses,Figures,Camera and Lights?

Well concidering just my figures tab has 175 folders i don't follow what you are having a problem with. the thing poser can slow down on is gerenating the RSR thumbs or the PNG thumbs in a pariticular folder. My props folder has 183 folders in there and each folder contains on average 20 items. and my poser folder is 18.9GB in size and I run win98 on a athelon 1GB with 512 MB ram

Glad to know your Poser Folder is 18.9 GB. I thought mine was big at 11GB. It seems that I only had problems with them loading when I got down to the bottom of the list. Usually around the t's to the z's. Maybe it's a problem with the PNG thumb generations. I'll look into that. I was only having problems with the Pose folder. I'm running Windows XP professional...1400MHZ AMD Athalon with 512MB RAM and G-Force 3 64MD video card. Thanks for your reply.

... put your older (less used ones) on the CDROM. Then use a viewing utility like "P3do" which allows you to view 'em online without using up your HD space, no? cheers, dr geep ;=] P.S. You can NOT add more folders to the Poser "library" (folder) nor can you add a folder in one of the libraries "categories." I just tried both of these varients and neither one works. I believe the library structure is "fixed" internally by Poser. Maybe in Poser5 .... Hey Curious Labs .... you guys takin' notes?

Remember ... "With Poser, all things are possible, and poseable!"


cheers,

dr geep ... :o]
