Something that you may or may not be aware of regarding Poser5 directories:- If you do an uninstall, beware! Poser5 folders are deleted! I recently sent this message to the Tech guys at CL:- Quote: Whilst awaiting my copy of P5 I am reading the P5 manual. It says that the uninstaller will delete the entire runtime directory. That would mean that any props or characters poses etc etc that I had made in P5 would be lost if I had to uninstall for some reason. Is there anyway to prevent the uninstaller removing non-stock files? That is, to work like the P4 uninstaller does, and leave my own work alone when I have to uninstall and then reinstall. End quote. This was the reply:- Quote: Hello there, actually the shipping version will not do that exactly. If you put new content in the default Poser 5 folders, it will get removed. If you install content in their own uniquely named folders they will stay. Downloads will keep new stuff as well. End quote. I see now that it's not entirely clear if new folders put into default Poser5 folders will also be removed or not. I suppose I should ask them. Anyway, I thought you might like to know, if you didn't already.
