I just lost a posette that I had been working on all morning. I have several windows opened, one displaying the various textures for the figure, another the trans maps, as well as poser, and folder. I meant to close one, and closed poser instead. How do you guys organize your various folders and such. I use a browser program so that I make sure that I get the right texture, etc. But that gets in the way sometimes and makes it easy to close the wrong folder. Is there an easy way to keep track of what's what. I now have over two gigs of stuff and keeping track is being getting to get to be a chore.

For graphics I use Thumbs Plus. The version 3 download works really well and after the 30 days it still works. The version 4 works better, but after 30 days you can't see the thumbnails!

Then I make directories by charcter type (P4 Nude Fem, P4 Casual Male, etc, etc...). In each of these there is a "WIP" folder - work in progress.

Thats how I kep track of them. Hopefully other folks will add to this and you can create your own system.

Hi Butch Basically I drown in a sea of files-which can sometimes be fun when I find something neat I forgot about! :-) I can do that since for the most part this is my hobby-although I have sold a few things here and there. Seriously, when I am hot on the tail of a new creation-I save an intermediate effort or two-both as a PZ3 and in a Character library. I am about to do a CDR backup as well. Eric Walters

I just work in one or the other to be honest. My computer runs better that way than having photoshop and poser open at the same time anyway ... But normally I work on a figure in default pose. Always save that and then start posing him/her and save it as a seperate file to make sure there are no problems .. Plus it is easier to grab the default figure most of the time. Then I export to obj and compress the heck out of everything ..

I was distracted by something else going on and wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. I said I was stupid. I didn't look at what I was doing and didn't notice the save prompt. The big reason that happened was that I was trying to do too much at one time, and not paying attention to what I was doing. I should have just gotten up and left my computer instead of closing windows. But I guess that I am Parnoid about somebody seeing what I am working on. :) Butch
