I'm wondering if there is any drawback to routinely discarding all .rsr files found in "Geometries". Since they are remade if the .obj file is loaded again in Poser, is there any harm? I ask because the total amount of .rsr duplicate geometry files in my Runtime/Geometries is nearing 500MB, and I know for a fact that 90% of those .rsr's are for models I won't be using anytime soon. I'd like to reclaim that space. This is not a Windows-specific problem either. Macintosh Poser does not make geometry .rsr files, but it creates exactly the same duplicate binary geometry in the .obj file's resource fork (resource 'ACTR'). This bloats the Runtime/Geometries folder on the mac in the same way, and the mac equivalent to cleaning out the .rsr files is to drop the 'Geometries' folder onto MacConverter in 'Mac-to-PC' mode, and using the "Delete mac resource forks" option to strip all those OBJ files of their ACTR resources. -Adam
