I accidentally gave out a wrong bit of information here the other day, my apologies. I had found and installed the old Poser LLanime script<\/a>. Then, when I wanted to blog that it worked, I needed to give you the install location. To get this easily, in Windows Explorer I typed “ScriptsMenu” — since that’s where I had installed it to. Windows Explorer then showed me the wrong ScriptsMenu<\/strong>. Even when my Windows Explorer is explicitly told to find everything…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

… it still skips the C:\\Program Files folders. Which, of course, is the real<\/strong> place Poser 11 keeps its Python Scripts.<\/p>\n

Poser maintains a number of locations where Poser’s Python scripts can plausibly be installed. But only one of them works for seeing them show up inside Poser 11…<\/p>\n

1. Your main runtime, where you install your characters, props and other content. This will very likely have a ..\\content\\Runtime\\Python\\poserScripts folder. <\/p>\n

Nope.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. C:\\Users\\Public\\Documents\\Poser 11 Content\\Runtime\\Python\\poserScripts\\ScriptsMenu <\/p>\n

Nope.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. C:\\Program Files\\Smith Micro\\Poser 11\\Runtime\\Python\\poserScripts\\ScriptsMenu <\/p>\n

Yup.<\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n

The third path is where you put new scripts, if you want them to show up in Poser 11’s Scripts menu…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here I have a handy FavoriteScripts folder, since the Python Panel in Poser is annoyingly incapable of remembering assigned scripts between sessions (at least, without some vigorous manual code-hacking of various *Buttons.py scripts).<\/p>\n

So I’d obviously done a correct install on LLanime, but then my casual reliance on Windows Explorer caused my mistake in the blog post. It was my fault, as I had long ago told Windows not to index C:\\Program Files (in order to speed up the sluggish Windows indexing process). In such a circumstance, to have Poser’s script content folders and files show up in the Windows Explorer search, go:<\/p>\n

Star Menu | type Index | Select ‘Indexing Options’ | Click on the C: drive | Modify | Now you can choose which folders you want to Index or not | Choose ‘Smith Micro’ and OK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
