Objects with no listed creator or owner

[CaptainJack Grauman]

Sometimes when I right-click in an object and thus look at its Object Profile, its entries for Creator and Owner stay blank, however long I wait. What caused this?

That usually happens when there are mixed creators, for instance, if the prims are made by one creator and a script inside is made by another one.

An object's creator is shown as the person who created the root prim, regardless of other things in the linked set that other creators made.

The creator of objects won't display unless they object is rezzed in world.

If the object has been rezzed and still no creator is shown, this generally happens when that creators account is no lohger in existence. unless it is a SL glitch of some sort.

My comment was referring to objects in inventory with mixed creators, sorry that I wasn't clear when I posted it.

I attempt a tiny clarification.

The OP appears to be asking about items in inventory  (right click object, select profile...)   So I would think your answer was excellent.   The creator of an object is sometimes shown through this inventory process - without rezziing the object in world.  However, if it's not (for the reasons you provided) then rezzing it in world allows access to more details.
