  @shvrdavid K thanks ... maybe I've just been lucky, but I'll keep an eye out for it. And I hear you about trying many different drivers. 8-)

  Best Way to Dedupe Two Libraries?

  fdupes will find and delete dupes, if that's what you want. You need to be careful. Vendors will often use the exact same PNG in multiple places. deduping will destroy that. rdfind will allow a hard link to be put in place of an exact dupe. This works better for library depuding. Poser can't use shortcuts (ie: soft links) Both are *nix utilities (they work on MacOS). There are possibly ports for Windows. Also, dedupe only within each runtime or you must have all the runtimes in the library all the time since the dupe may have been across runtimes. be very careful when messing with runtimes and automated tools. You can destroy a runtime quickly and thoroughly. Keep a backup while you test stuff. And generally, keep a backup. Always. My father told me: there are two types of people. Those that have lost data and those that will lose data. Many people are the former, everyone is the latter.

  @fverbaas :D . TooEasyPoser Isn't Poser kind of easy right now? That was sort of the point of it's once-upon-a- time innovative, then dated, now app-like GUI. I mean for an artist setting up a fairly complex scene.

  Thanks to all that replied for the suggestions! @wimvdb I think that would be a very useful addition as well. I might go suggest that in the suggested new features thread.

  @marco said in Removing Duplicate Files?: @newoski, did i understand it right, you have put your manual installed content in the same runtime as poser? And now you want to separate the items? I would say, you should deinstall poser. The routine deletes only what comes with poser. So, after poser is gone, you should have a runtime with your content. I have made the same mistake years ago and it worked. For safety reasons i would save the whole runtime first. Very interesting idea! Wil give this a shot

  Keep the textures in the texture folder and the geometries in the geometry folder. The files in the library folders characters (cr2), poses (pz2), materials (mt5 and mc6), hands (hd2), heads (fc2), hair (hr2), props (pp2), lights (lt2), cameras (cm2), and scenes (pz3) can be moved into any of the library folders. And scenes don't have to go in any runtime if you don't want to use the library to load them.

  Well, that does look odd. This doesn't look like typical sarong wrap. And the material is odd, too for me. I feel like not understanding fashion.

  You can make the Background ('dome') material of The Construct (the Poser 11 Background prop) in the Material Room. You can then use your shader on the Ground part and turn the morph dials on it to simulate terrain. Don't forget to up the subdivision of the geometry if you want a better resolution in your render. This is done on the second tab of the Parameters menu.

  @kojot303 it's a while since I've played with IK. When I was doing so regularly, I adopted a technique of loading two identical figures, one with IK on, and the other with IK off. Make the non-IK figure appear in outline mode. Save poses for individual frames to the library from the IK figure, and then apply them to the non-IK figure. this will give you a direct indication of what the uncalculated rotations of the IK limbs are set to. Adjust the non-IK figure's rotations to make the limbs coincide with the IK figure's limbs again, and then apply the same rotations to the IK figure. Repeat the cycle to confirm that the IK pose preserves the correct joint rotations when applied to the non-IK figure. This will give you a pose file that works whether IK is turned on or not. I know this is unnecessarily tedious, but it's the only solution I found, since the IK solver does not properly calculate all of the IK joint rotations to allow the pose to remain identical regardless of the IK state. This is understandable from the viewpoint that translations of the endpoint of an IK limb are not constrained sufficiently to prevent the limb being stretched beyond its non-IK limits. IK also pays no regard whatever to joint rotation limits, when translating the endpoint. This is especially frustrating when dealing with human knees and elbows which do not have six degrees of freedom. Forearms and shins do not normally (OK, people with looser joints do have a small range of movement) bend side-side. That movement is achieved by twisting the upper arm or thigh. IK frustratingly ignores that restriction.

  @j-naylor73 said in Manually Adding Folders to Poser?: Yes, the only 2 folders you need to create are the main folder, called whatever you want, and a folder inside this called runtime. Once you get poser to add this library it adds the category folders (camera, character etc).Now providing the content zip file you want to install is properly set up (i.e. runtime is one of the first level of folders in the zip file.,) you can use the install from zip archive to install your content. Other than content bought from DAZ, purchased content is generally set up correctly, freebies are more variable. That was it! I needed to create the folder literally named "runtime" Thanks!!

  @f_verbaas You can find all images used by Poser inside Posers folders. PSD-files (Photoshop format). But it would be easier to reuse what Poser has already loaded. So: lets wait if @h-elwood-gilliland can help us...

  @deecey Ah, ok...that would explain things. I have my library divided up quite a bit (by charcter, by clothing type, indoor items, outdoor items, etc.), so if the slider bar is related to the number of folders, I'm the reason it's very thin. :) I've tried using the library floating, but it became more of an annoyance than anything else. And viewing in the web browser seems like it would be just as annoying to me. Thanks for all the help and suggestions...I appreciate it. I suppose I'll just live with the tiny slider bars.
