UPDATED FOR POSER 9/PRO 2012

ShaderWorks Library Manager is an extremely powerfull library manager for Poser 8 and Poser Pro 2010. This new version (March 16, 2010) introduces new features (browsing files on your hard drive) and resolves bugs. Some of the new features can be found in the Service Release 1 teaser.

The script was developed with the user in mind, made to increase the work flow, multiple selection (folders and files), load, conform and magnetize clothes in one click, apply multiple materials on their corresponding figures automatically (you don't need to go through each item of clothing - the script automatically detects where the MAT pose or material collection should be applied).

 Content creator can also increase your work flow, using the powerful saving and checking functions: Save all conformed figures in one click, when saving a file, you can even keep the original thumbnail (when overwriting), use the default preview thumbnail or use the last render as thumbnail, check all references in one file quickly, and more...

 With it's separates folder tree from the file list it's easy to navigate through extremely huge runtimes. But ShaderWorks Library Manager also introduce virtual runtimes or merged runtimes, two or more runtimes can be displayed as if it was only one runtime.

The Favorites browsing tree allows you to build a virtual runtime with all your favorites files and folders. Yes, you are not limited to files, but you can also tag a folder as favorite!

But browsing a folder list should not be limited to your runtimes! With the new ShaderWorks Library Manager's service release, you can even browse your folders from your hard drives. The script will use an internal searching engine for the references, allowing to load files even if they are not located in a runtime! And you will even be able to extract zip files in a temporary folder and use the product without installing it! Happy with the product ? No problem, a simple click will install it in the runtime of your choice!

Merged runtimes This flash movie shows a new way of managing runtimes, introducing merged runtimes (some could say virtual runtime). This idea is to have two, three or more 'physical' runtimes on your hard drives but displayed as one single runtime in the ShaderWorks Library Manager.

Favourites This flash  movie shows the Favorites system of ShaderWorks Library Manager. It is made to easily access your most used figures/materials. But the favorites do not act as the Poser's Library Collection feature. Yes, you can set a figure (or any poser file) as a Favorite, AND you can also select a folder as favorite. Everything located in the favorite folder will be displayed in the favorite menu.

A Library Manager wouldn't be a manager if you couldn't handle your files. ShaderWorks Library Manager allows to delete, copy and move files as you want, quickly. It also allows to create 'ready' runtimes, with all the necessary folders.
