Cool VL Viewer forum

I just noticed that the inventory observers fixes that went into v1.32.0.10 cause a minor but annoying (old) bug to creep up: the full "new inventory" observer (items creation/addition observer, that was largely broken and is now fully functional) gets triggered while the initial inventory is loading (being cached), that is, when the inventory cache file is empty or cleared, or very old, you will see (*) preview floaters popping up while the inventory cache loads after login...

Thankfully, the throttle algorithm kicks in to limit the number of preview floaters (you will see a dozen opening every 10s until your inventory is fully loaded). Still, this is annoying.

The workaround, for now, is to use the "Close all windows" feature (CTRL SHIFT W) whenever you login with an empty or deprecated inventory cache and see those floaters popping up...

Alternatively, if you build the viewer yourself from sources, you may apply this patch, which will be part of next release:

(*) When when the "Automatically open/view after accepting" box is checked in the "Preferences" floater, "Notifications" tab.

Bug fixed in today's release.

Bug was only partially fixed... it doesnt spam you on login anymore but anytime you buy something that contains a notecard or texture it pops them all open just as before is a minor annoyance but can be quite annoying if your grabbing a lot of group gifts and it keeps popping open things and filling the screen

This is not a bug but the expected behaviour... If you do not want it, un-tick, the "Automatically open/view after accepting" check box in the "Preferences" floater, "Notifications" tab.

The fact the behaviour changed, when compared with former versions, is that this feature was broken in the latter (e.g. the accepted group notices attachments failed to be auto-opened); it basically observes the inventory and opens a preview tab for items that appear in it after initial fetching on login. I will see if I can fine-tune it and allow making a distinction between cases, via a new setting...
