Subject: Poser Ate My Runtime !

You'll notice a 'TEMP-ON-Z (Missing)' runtime at the bottom of the list.

It was there (on my external USB HDD) yesterday.

It's not there today.

The only thing that touched that folder was Poser. And DAZ Studio.

Any ideas ?

P.S. ALL my runtimes are on an external HDD. Except the Downloads and Purchases

Did it really disappear from that USB stick? Or maybe the USB stick has today a different drive letter and therefore Poser does not show it?

Good suggestion - I often overlook the obvious !

However my external drive (it's an HDD connected via USB) is actually mapped to a fixed drive letter.

All my runtimes are on this single external drive, and all my runtimes except this specific one are still there when I open Poser. If I look on the drive itself using Windows Explorer the folder's gone.

Thinking about obvious things that I overlook - I wonder if it's simply been moved by accident ?

I don't think Poser or Daz deleted it. Hopefully you will find it again. Good luck!

Found it - it had been moved into one of the other runtimes.

I definitely have no recollection of doing that myself - I don't think I even opened Windows Explorer.

I know that you can easily (and unintentionally) move folders from within Poser's library pane, but there's always an "Are you sure ?" type popup where I always cancel it. But I don't think it's possible to move folders at the level of complete runtimes. And even if it was I'd surely have caught it at the popup.

The most obvious answer is that I must have opened Windows Explorer and accidentally moved it myself.

So maybe I did.

Maybe it's my memory that's on the fritz !

It just happened again, but this time I realized what was happening !

I was adding a new runtime, via the '+' button top right of the library pane. I got this 'Browse for Folder' popup window as usual:

I dug down to the runtime I wanted and clicked on it, and that's when something odd happened. It was so quick that I can't be certain what happened, but It seemed to me that some sort of progress indicator appeared for a split second. When it had done the runtime I'd clicked on had vanished from the Browse For Folder window, and had not been added to my library pane.

Sure enough, I found the runtime inside one of the other runtimes.

So it was Poser that moved it !
