inventory loss of a folder

[davinna47]

i have lost my animations folder--- all others in inventory r there--- am on sl viewer--- how do i recover it?

By default, a folder will not show when you're searching in inventory if it is empty.  If you want to change that default, you can do it in your Advanced menu (CTRL + Alt + D) by opening Debug Settings and looking for ShowEmptyFoldersWhenSearching. Change FALSE to TRUE.

Besides Rolig's answer, I have recently started having an odd problem with my inventory.  Sometimes, folders will simply not appear in the list, even though I know they contain lots of items.

I have found that I can usually make them reappear simply by opening a new inventory window (use the gear icon for this option.)

If that doesn't help, try a re-log.

If THAT doesn't help, then do a manual inventory cache clear, following the instructions here: http://wiki.phoenixviewer.com/fs_cache_clear  It's written for the Firestorm viewer, but the procedures are the same for the SL viewer, just change the file names.
