Post subject: | Restore to last position removed in Mac version 1.26.4.19? |
I just noticed that the "Restore to last position" option for objects in the Lost & Found folder that was restored in 1.26.2.15 seems to have been removed between 1.26.4.17 and 1.26.4.19 in the Mac version of the Cool VL Viewer. I refer to the Mac version only because that is the only one I can test; it is possible that this issue applies to Windows and Linux as well. Has anyone else noticed the same thing? |

Not a bug, and it's not specific to Mac versions. This feature (that caused a lot of trouble for LL's support because of lost objects by residents using it) has recently been removed from SL servers, and since it was never implemented in OpenSim either, I indeed removed it from the viewer. |

Ah, I see. Thank you for clearing that up. Oddly though, Restore To Last Position does still work under 1.26.4.17 in the regions I have tested, despite LL dropping support. I suppose this must be a rolling change that has not reached all servers yet? I am certainly very sorry to see this tremendously useful feature disappear. |

Yes, I have read a jira ticket about the 0,0,0 thing. What a half-baked way to handle the issue! Moving on, I've been thinking about other ways to "document" the position and rotation of objects. In the short-run, as when periodically taking partially completed objects into Inventory while building, one can used the Editor's object clipboard Cut/Paste facility to put the object back to its correct position, but that won't work for longer-term things like putting parts of a house back in position after they have been improperly returned for example. Obviously one option would be to write down the position/rotation numbers for objects by hand in a notebook or something, but that would be pretty clunky. A better option would be if one could paste the contents of the object clipboard to a notecard or something, and ideally also copy/paste from a notecard into the object clipboard too. That's not a feature I've seen in any viewer however, and I do not know how far it would be doable. |
