Why in the world did CL make the Parameter Dials into a floating palette?? Is this really progress? Here is the latest issue- somehow the palette is appearing as a separate window in the toolbar! Is this a bug or lazy coding (to say, "Do not show this window/ form in toolbar.")? And, some of the keyboard shortcuts STILL do not work! Some were fixed in SR1, but there are still a lot of shortcuts that don't work! (See below.) Next time, CL needs to test ALL keyboard shortcuts! (Assuming, that is, we all put up with this **** and CL is around for Poser 6.) I know what you're thinking- no one's perfect, right? They can't catch everything, right? These will be fixed in SR2, right? Except... this wasn't even in an issue in Poser 4 (or Pro Pack), when the parameter dials were part of the background!

Here are the keyboard shortcuts that do NOT work (in Poser 5, SR1r1) when the "focus" is on the Parameter Dials Palette and a figure is selected. (In Poser 5, no patch, NONE of the keyboard shortcuts work.) ----------------------------------- Ctrl-G show/ hide ground plane Ctrl+H hide selected figure Ctrl+I Properties (which should switch to the next tab on the palette) Ctrl+M switch to main camera Ctrl+; switch to left camera Ctrl+' switch to right camera Ctrl+= switch to face camera Ctrl+, switch to posing camera Ctrl+] switch to right=hand camera Ctrl+[ switch to left-hand camera Ctrl+/ switch to dolly camera Ctrl+1 to Ctrl+9 change document display (none work) Ctrl+0 Hide all tools Ctrl+ Show all tools Ctrl+- show/ hide tool titles Alt+Ctrl+1 to Alt+Ctrl+9 change figure display (none work) And don't even think about hitting Alt to access the menus (as in Alt+F for the the File menu or Alt+G C for Figure > Conform To)- since Poser doesn't have "focus", it doesn't work.
