How can a resident know when another resident takes a snapshot?

[Jennifer Boyle]

Sometimes when a resident takes a snapshot, another resident knows.  How do they know?

[Monti Messmer]

Hello, the Phoenix Viewer had an option to show when and who takes a snapshot.

I doubt this will be implemented in Firestorm or if then removed about the new privacy rules put on viewers so it´s and obsolete feature that won´´t be around for tooooo long.

Simple really.

When taking a snapshot, your avatar will (by default) perform a special animation and make a sound. This sound is triggered by your avatar, and some viewers (names not listed) make the connection:

This 'snapshot' sound is occuring -> Name the source in the local chat window, as a message to the user.

There's nothing more to it.

It's also easy-peasy to disable this sound: Advanced Menu > Quiet Snapshots to Disk

It's easy also to just take a screenshot. I do that often if an image is to be post-processed, then it can be pasted straight into photoshop. There's no way to know if someone does it this way.

Thanks for the informative replies.

Meh thats easy how it works is simple....

The viewer is set to detect the UUID of the animation that is played, if the UUID matches the animation for the take a snapshot then the viewer says this in the local chat.

X Name)  took a snapshot

Privacy is Second Life there is really no such thign as privacy except unless you add acess/orb to your land and use the option that says.

 

Allow Residents On Other Parcels To:

See and chat with residents on this parcel.

Unchecking this yeah you get privacy otherwise privacy? what privacy?

My avatar smiles and i hear a camera noise, so i imagine others can see/hear this also.

Like Freya said, that sound and animation can be disabled easily.

Others can hear and see it when it happens, so I think it's a great idea to have it disabled.

Some people can hear the snapshot sound that taking snapshots make

This is super old, but the Quiet Snapshots to Disk is still the same.
