Gryphon Ronas Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Somewehre along the way, either I have forgotten something, or an option has been removed. Hopefully, someone can shed some light on this.I want to disable, kill, utterly destroy... That lovely 'feature' that causes my inventory to ignore the fact that I am merrily clicking my way down through sub-folders looking for something, and suddenly jumps instead to the last folder I was in, or one I was in yesterday... or maybe one I thought about last week.This has got to be the most aggravating thing ever, especially when you are trying to sort things out and put things away. My inventory is a total mess now - mainly because I get tired of chasing the folders around, and end up leaving things wherever they landed.Any way around this? Please?

Pandora Barzane Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 ooh I got this too! I found out it also happens when someone from your friendlist logs on or off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Krokus Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 That ^ and the folder opening that something goes into to when I take or receive something... If someone knows how to get it back (I'm on Singularity) - please tell me! Disconsolantly looking for the return of "auto open inventory" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Otoole Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 just open your inventory and take a coffee break. After a while it stops being stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterCanessa Oh Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Sounds like connection issues, the inventory-window equivalent of 'rubber-banding' when you try to walk in-world. Check your ping and packet-loss figures in the statistics window (yes, that is what I say to almost everything. That's because a poor connection is the cause of so many problems).

Ceka Cianci Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 i stopped showing my friends logging on and i don't get the jumps anymore..it triggers the calling cards in your inventory.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryphon Ronas Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hmmm... OK.... Packet Loss says 0.000% Ping time ranges between 84 and 96msec Compared that to a regular speed test page: San Jose, CA (I'm in Florida) Ping: 69msec Download: 24.84Mbps with a peak of 25.32Mbps Upload: 1.33Mbps with a peak of 1.33Mbps Definitely not an expert, but from what I see there the connection seems OK. From other stuff I have found, I am leaning toward it being the friends on and off thing. I have those notifications turned on, and my list does stay pretty active throughout the day at into the night. Thanks for the suggestions!

PeterCanessa Oh Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Ping under 100ms is close-enough perfect. Packet loss 0.0% is perfect. So nothing wrong with your connection:-( That just makes it harder to guess what IS wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryphon Ronas Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 First off, over the past hour, I have had no inventory jumps. YaY! & stuff. Tried Ann's trick first. Drank a whole pot of coffee. Inventory still jumped aroud... And by the time the test was done, I was jumping around too. OK, decaf might have been a better option. And oh yessss.... The ability to manage inventory with an interface like that. *dream* Peter's suggestion is a good one no matter what the issue. Connection can do weird things. This just wasn't one of those. Ceka nailed it. I normally have the friends on and off thing turned off. But back at MensWear Fashion Week in March, I enabled it because I needed to know the second someone got back from a crash, so I could TP them backstage without delay. I suppose that was when the problem started, but that time was such a zoo for me that it never really sunk in. So it looks like it's a mix of a feature (Focus shift to an item used or added), and a bug of that feature. Thanks for all the great input!

PS I mean specifically the left/right-window exchanging features ( copy/move/sort/delete). Does everyone knows you can have several inventory windows open at once? (Open inventory, click the 'gear' icon at the bottom of the inventory window, click 'new inventory window'. Repeat as required) You can select ranges using shift and control (on a PC) then work with them all at once, from one window to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Otoole Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I don't have many issues with friends logging in/out. Not many friends But it will recurse if inventory is still caching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
