rasterscan Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I love you Prof. Slightly on topic, I accidentally wore a delivery box on my head in a club just yesterday, and I've 3 long years in the game. 🏬 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coby Foden Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 What I like the best is a HUD on screen with no automatic unpacking. I click the HUD and the items go nicely into my inventory into a folder. The I can open that folder and delete everything there what I might not need. Then I have another inventory window open folder and I can easily drag the unpacked folder where ever I want it to be. If the goods what I bought was expensive then I save the original full package too into that folder. Very easy and convenient procedure. The second best is a bag what I wear. Click it and the contents go into a folder. These two methods are handy when shopping and trying out many demos, no need to go home to try them on there. 🙂 - - - - - What I don't like are the packages which will open all kinds windows on my screen (pictures, notecards, animations, etc.). I can open them myself from the inventory, no need to automatically fill my screen with them. - - - - - 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your whole post. But I still go home to try demos. I can keep my inventory much better organized and cleaned up that way.

If you've seen textures and those "play animation" windows pop up, you had your viewer set to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to do a search and try to snag both the new item and something in the folder you want to put it in. You want to just drag it from the box to start with, the end. ....or you could just right click the folder, hit "Cut" then scroll to whatever folder you want the item folder in and click paste...but that's above you too right? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokofy Neva Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Um, no. I'm aware of that. But I don't want to do an action that involves even temporarily cutting a folder or object in the belief that it will "paste" later because of crashes, problems, glitches that occur too often. This is not a rational way to sort inventory because of these risks. You come back and that thing isn't there. I will do another thing, which is "copy" a copyable new thing in the general objects and then "paste" it into the relevant folder -- which is a far safer proposition because if I lock up or freeze or crash, it's "still there". But because of the "scrollup" or "scrolldown" in BOTH "cut" or "paste" -- which is what I mean by saying "you don't want to drag it upward" -- it is STUPID. Scrolling through a zillion folders while holding something to paste from either "cut" or "copy" just isn't rational because of lag, slippage etc. What is far, FAR more rational is to -- wait for it -- drag the item out of a box's content inworld that HAS NOT automatically unpacked, and put it into a file folder. Automatically unpacking is evil -- annoying, causing content loss, confusing, etc. Sure, opening up another inventory window -- a process that now takes more than a minute because of the trouble in general with getting things to open in SL (see above re: "spinny dials") is also something that isn't rational -- I do it often for general clean-ups but it's not normal to do it a half dozen times a day for purchases or freebies or just sorting in general. What is rational is pulling out of a box that serves as a much-easier-to-open "inventory window" if you will on one thing -- maybe that will help you accept it.

This is not a rational way to sort inventory because of these risks. You come back and that thing isn't there. A "cut" doesn't delete the file until after you have pasted it. Make a couple blank prims and try this out: Cut one box, don't paste, and cut another box instead. The first box is unaffected. Now, while you've cut the second box, relog. The second box is unaffected. There's no possible glitch that could happen here because of how cut/paste works. 36 minutes ago, Prokofy Neva said: Scrolling through a zillion folders while holding something to paste from either "cut" or "copy" just isn't rational because of lag, slippage etc. This is entirely valid. Personally, my mouse sometimes releases a mouse click because there is dust in the mouse and/or I don't apply enough pressure while moving the mouse. 36 minutes ago, Prokofy Neva said: Automatically unpacking is evil -- annoying, causing content loss, confusing, etc. This is a matter of preference (annoying), habit (confusing), and lastly doubtful. I'd like to see the risk of content loss demonstrated (not a story of what happened), because even if an unpacker sends you a folder and automatically detaches itself, you can still accept the folder and "receive" it. Fun fact: When someone/thing gives you ANYTHING, it is automatically put into your inventory before you even accept the prompt. Accepting or refusing it just tells your viewer what to do. On accept, the viewer will probably just bring up your inventory with the item selected (or whatever it's set to do), on refuse the viewer will move it to trash. DOING NOTHING (eg. crash) will leave the item in a default system folder, or main inventory if it was a folder.

Janet Voxel Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I pointed this out a couple pages back.

Tamara Artis Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 It is not wise to confuse personal preferences with the ratio. First has to do with our own likes, what we enjoy or what we are used to do. Things that person does out of habit, no matter how much she enjoys them, cannot be confused with ratio. One has to watch for the reputation because observers might think one's ratio is not working properly. And trying to force our own likes and personal taste simply by declaring them rational is even worse case of confusion. One might be considered logically impaired. I really hope this is a trolling thread, made to have some fun and I wish everyone a lovely weekend. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tari Landar Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I hate it when my package doesn't fit...such an annoyance Like, when I tried to get my 5 foot tall package into a spot in my closet that is only four feet tall. Like, seriously package, why you gotta be so huge? Though, small package can be just as troublesome. I had a small package break my mailbox last week. Ok, so my box is plastic, and the UPS guy really drove it in there...still, small packages shouldn't be able to do so much damage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prok actually believes what they post is The One Holy Truth and will viciously attack anyone that dares to disagree, eventually going so far as to try and discover the identity of the person operating the account disagreeing...
