Quote - i'm running  XP, P7.01.97.  i likely need some service packs but until recently had a super slow dialup connection & couldn't download much.  when i run the scripts & click on anthing else (like say the parameters palette) the gui disappears to the taskbar.  i have to "persuade" it to reappear by clicking slowly on it a few times.  it's a minor annoyance & might just be my particular poser install.  i've seen it happen with other scripts.

Ah.  I see what you mean.  Some scripts are designed to allow the user to keep working with the Poser scene while the script interface remains open.  This script actually isn't.  The process with which I'm familiar for making the focus more flexible with PoserPython and Tkinter seems to have been the source of some crash bugs in earlier scripts of mine.  So this script (and most of my other recent scripts) are designed to be run once the user's Poser scene is ready for the script, and they don't accomodate any back-and-forth with the scene.  This is actually the default situation with most PoserPython scripts.  The focus becomes flexible only if the script-writer adds that functionality.

Would such focus flexibility be an important feature for you?  At what point in the process of running the script do you need to switch back to Poser?  During slow comparisons?

You can speed up the comparison process significantly by using Spanki's _tdmt.pyd.  It's free and it's compatible with your OS and Poser version.  All you need to do is copy. the .pyd file to the :Runtime:Python:DLLs folder and start Poser.

:lol:  I'm good at taking credit for failures.  :lol:  But I'm sure the .vmf is excellent.  Credit to jancory!  :woot:

Cage can be an opinionated jerk who posts without thinking.  He apologizes for this.  He's honestly not trying to be a turkeyhead.

Cage had some freebies, compatible with Poser 11 and below.  His Python scripts were saved at archive.org, along with the rest of the Morphography site, where they were hosted.
