Well, I did a major rehaul of my Pose folder which was stopping at the "M"s-- bad news, that's usually the middle. There was too darn much to just cram everything in the Camera file so here's what I did. I put all the actual poses in the camera file-- those that were hopelessly intermeshed with characters MATS I left in Pose. Then, I put all the clothing MAT files in the Hand folder-- that's right, folks, the Hand folder. Used the new renaming plugin for P3dO, which worked very well, as long as I gave it a chance to rest from time to time. Lots of stuff to rename. I tested the clothing files with a tshirt and some boots before renaming all of them. Yes, the question "Right hand or Left hand" comes up and I checked one or the other-- especially for the boots, I tried left boots with right hand, etc. It all worked. Now, I always load the real files first-- maybe you have to, I'm never quite clear, some seem to work without it. And I chose the leg that the boot was going on, and I wasn't stupid enough to move jewelry that worked on various hands over there. Why tempt fate? So far, so good. I can see stuff I haven't seen for weeks. Poser even loads a bit faster. [That's probably my imagination] As always, there are some files the renamer refused to touch-- I think it may be random. Ron had probs with the Adventurers, I had probs with Belly Dancers and Hooded Robes, no probs with Adventurers and I have them ALL!! Call me a pig. Now, the next overhaul involves tackling the Props folder. Most of which is still in subfolders that are obscurely named. I don't suppose you can change the name of the pp2 file, can you? I desperately need chair1, chair2, chair wooden, etc. Emily
