This page enables the content of a PoseLibrary to be managed, including adding thumbnail images for selected poses.
The page is in three parts, from top to bottom:
The left-hander drop-list shows the currently selected library, and can be used to select another loaded library.
The right-hand drop-list shows the libraries that are not currently selected.
![]() |
Load: this behaves as the command on the static menu. It loads a new library which is selected. If four libraries have already been loaded the selected secondary library will be unloaded to make room (the user will be prompted to save any changes to the secondary library if it has been modified before it is unloaded) |
![]() |
Rename: changes the name associated with the current library, i.e. the name that gets displayed in the drop-list and the title bar of the program. |
![]() |
SaveAs: saves the currently selected library (same as the command on the static menu item) |
![]() |
Unload: removes the selected secondary library |
The window in the middle of this area shows a selection of poses or subsets from the selected library. The drop-list and the two radio buttons control whether it is showing poses or subsets, and the associated model type. Initially, the window shows all poses in the selected library for the Sim selected in the 3D window . These poses are unselected.
In effect, the program is keeping two lists, one of unselected items and the other of selected items (I wanted to show the lists side-by-side but there wasn't room in the window). The 3 buttons above the window allow you to:
![]() |
Show unselected/Show selected: choose whether the window is showing the unselected items or the selected items |
![]() |
Add all/Remove all: make all items either selected or unselected (the window view changes to show the full list) |
![]() |
Add to selection/Remove from selection: by left-clicking on items in the window (and shift/control left clicking to select multiple items) a number of items can be indicated and then either added to or removed from the selected list. |
The four buttons below the window, which are only active when the selected items are being displayed, allow various actions to be performed on the selected list:
![]() |
Delete selection: the indicated items are removed from the current library |
![]() |
Undo: restored items recently deleted (a library which has been saved and reloaded cannot have deleted items recovered) |
![]() |
copy to secondary: the selected items from the selected library are copied to the secondary library. |
![]() |
Make images: a thumbnail image is created for each pose in the list. The thumbnail is created as a copy of the 3D window, so before creating the images it is sensible to set up an appropriate model and background colour/image. |
The drop-list shows all the poses in the selected library. When a particular pose is selected any associated comment appears in the window below the drop-list and if a thumbnail has been created for the pose, that appears in the window on the right.
The two buttons below the comment box allow you to:
![]() |
Pose Sim: change of the selected Sim in the 3D window to the indicated pose (as 'select pose' on the static menu) |
![]() |
New image: create a thumbnail image for the selected pose |
