I actually sorted it and found how to stick with the skies option So after you load the chosen presets FROM the library into an Environment folder in your inventory ( do not use the back up as you may get a message stating unable to decode legacy settings ) as offered by Firestorm. You then if you wish to have a permanent cycle select world- my environments and when the drop down box shows you then take the tick out of the box for days option in the drop down after which you select the skies preset Right click on that and it will offer "apply to self only" in that drop down menu, select that and it will then give you a permanent sky over a days cycle. Pity FS didn't offer proper notes

Sorry to say if I can't make it work then a lot of people are not going to make it work as I am not that literate with the viewer and btw the settings I took came via the program from the library folder you use to import them from, in short the process was an epic fail and another example of SL's decision making chain to release these concepts before a proper evaluation of their likely effects would be. Ashagain spoke about the fact that after a year in development the concept of EEP does not seem to work as SL would hope it to, that tells you a lot about how SL's ability to develop the platform seems to be stalling. Most businesses after a year in developing an idea would scrap it if it was not functioning correctly on order to stop wasting money, rather than persist in releasing something that could damage their product further. I spoke to a friend who was a beta tester on it and she acknowledged that she had not seen what I was describing and when I showed her the before and after pictures regarding using windlight via the fixed enviroment cycle her answer was Whoa! I've enclosed the pictures so people can see what happens, when I have the Fixed Environment Editor open and minimised everything is normal, the moment I close the editor the screen does the secod picture

I don't care about all the talk over how good the latest version of FS is, the fact that I have used FS for god knows how many years and kept the same windlight settings has been a godsend when I have moved from release to release. And today ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH The process for moving to your own fixed environment settings for me has completely and utterly flopped! I did it, set up the environment folder in my inventory copied in the two settings I use for water and light and every time I changed sim they reverted back to sim setting. And yes I did go into FS preferences and change it to persist seesion sttings and also put a 3.5 second transition time in. So if i closed out the Fixed Enviroment window in Environment everything just went black, if I didn't leave it minimised as I jumped from sim to sim everything went black. May I remind FS that I am the ultimate user of the program and if there comes a point where FS does things I am unable to remedy by wanting to set up the program to work for me, then I will consider whether or not my time in SL is ending. A but harsh , but today has been a waste of time trying to sort out an issue that SL should have had the guts to announce in that they were going to terminate a lot of the older windlight settings, I personally also don't like the registry keys grab by FS as I also use Singularity as it still allows XML export for character tests something that FS has stopped supporting.

Sadly to some of us being trapped in the same sim while 3 tp's in a row fail and then having to log out and log back in again is a bad joke. I am paying LL to use the platform so a platform that is stable and that works is something that I and a great many other users think is a prerequisite for a happy SL. Saying that it will get better is akin to an ex boss of mine who promised jam tomorrow when the reality was that the jam is needed now and no matter how many times SL fix the issue, it comes back. That either suggests that the issue is deep within the O/s of this platform or is fixed for expediencies sake to appease the users. Either way it not acceptable and for once LL need to actually do something.
