I can't remember if this has been brought up before. But I do remember some of you folks work very hard at making nice Library pics for your figures. And are copying and pasting them after you update a figure to keep your old pic. Well it seems that if you set the thumbnail pic (.rsr) to read-only. The pic is safe. And won't get changed when you edit a figure and resave it with the same name to the library. I was surprised that Poser didn't throw out an error because it couldn't update the thumbnail pic. But it didn't. So if any of you are copying and pasting. Or making backups of the thumbnails. Just set them to read-only. And don't worry about backing them up. Cheers! ScottA iamsba@aol.com

Great discovery!

duh I've just been hit with the blinding obvious, so simple when its pointed out to one ..... heheeh thanks ScottA I appreciate the tip.

Excellent, you just saved me some serious time :) -Trav

OH!!!! yeah, cool! hey, but wait... does this mess things up if you load a new geometry for the figure? you know, usually you have to delete all the rsrs when you do that.

I doubt it. The .rsr in the geometries folder is completely different. That one is the delta's for the figures geometry. And the . rsr in the library is just a small bit of info used to tell Poser what the thumbnail looks like. I've always wondered why they both have the same file extension. I'm guessing the guys who wrote the code found it easier to use the .rsr file extension for both purposes since this is a Poser only file extension. But it shure can confuse a newbie trying to know what .rsr does what. Like I've said before. I don't think Poser was originally developed to have users add new figures. The way we do it is really a simple form of code hacking. ScottA iamsba@aol.com
