Running Viewer 2 and Latest Phoenix Viewer - found bug

[Skate Foss]

Several avi's, myself and others have noticed when installing Phoenix .908 Viewer when running SLv2.5, -SL and RL Profile pics and About Info is wiped from your Profile. After re-entering Pics and About copy, everything stays normal

It has most likely something to do with how LL has changed the profiles. Phoenix is using the old system while viewer 2.5 has the web profiles. It seems very much like back before the third party viewers started to use the new inventory system and people switching between the viewers had problems.

So I guess now with the new profiles such things are no surprise ... but ... maybe having two different cache locations would help to avoid them. Each viewer with it's own since having it like this is better anyways and prevents problems.

The Phoenix developers might of course know more.

There is an informative comment thread on specifying different cache locations over at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Tips-and-Tricks/QUICKTIP-Running-multiple-Viewers-Separate-your-cache-folders/ba-p/672487

In my experience, running viewer 2 and Phoenix on the same system can cause all kinds of headaches unless separate caches are manually specified in your preferences.
