Quixilver

For as long as I could remember using it, the SL viewer on my Mac has had extremely slow performance. A few months ago, it suddenly got much better—I think it was when the Mac version was released as 64-bit. Not sure. Framerate went up to at least 15 fps. That was a revelation. But the past few versions have been super-slow again (I wish I had kept track of exactly when the change happened). It's down around 3 fps now. Is there a setting I should tweak? A different version I should download? Thanks in advance. This is on a 2013 MacBook Pro with 16 GB RAM.

Many wearable items have optional features or variables that can be configured through a script, usually using a HUD or dialog. If the same item is used in two different outfits, but should be configured differently for each, we need to go through the config process for each item, which gets to be tedious. I'm proposing that each outfit include a text file where these scripts can store configuration information; when an avatar puts on an outfit, these scripts can be triggered to scan through the file to read in their own configuration information. Obviously this would require buy-in from script writers and builders, and wouldn't magically apply to all the stuff already in our wardrobes, but it would be a benefit as we go forward. I'm probably not the first person to suggest something like this, so add my vote to the pile
