Hello, someone must have opened Pandora's Bug-Box... since we got more trouble recently than the whole year before. There is a very serious issue with damaged PC thumbnail .rsr files created by the PC tool P3d0 (prior to version 1.5.2). The files converted fine (since they are "technically" valid) but caused serious issues with Poser. As soon as Poser tries to show the preview picture within the library, they will cause memory corruption and eventually crash Poser on Mac. On PC they seem to slow down the library display, and although Poser won't crash there is a good chance that they result in memory corruption and unstable behaviour as well. The bug got fixed in P3dO version 1.5.2, but there are still many damaged files around the net, including some commercial items sold in this board's shop. Maconverter 1.1.5 has a new option to repair the thumbnails, it affects both new .rsr conversions as well as (already converted) existing library files. You should turn it on for all future conversions, and if you experience crashes or unexpected behaviour with existing library files, re-run them through the converter with the new option. The updated tool is available in FreeStuff > Utilities and directly from my website: Cheers, MartinC
