On Win XP, default directories for saving and loading poses are C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\makehuman\myposes, but the poses libraries are subdirectories of D:\Program Files\MakeHuman 0.9.1 RC1\data\bs_data. ("D:" because that's where I've installed it.)
Shouldn't MH choose one or the other? In any case, the user should be able to specify default directories. For backup purposes, I want my data files in a separate tree from the software.
I copied pose files to D:\Program Files\MakeHuman 0.9.1 RC1\data\bs_data\poses2, and MH found them, but doesn't show icons for the poses.
The same comments apply to bodyshapes, of course.
I know this has already been mentioned, but I'll say it again: the console interface for saving and loading is horrible and slow. A conventional Windows-style pick-and-click would be much easier to use.
