6.6.15.581961 - Inventory Extensions
Thursday, September 28, 2023
I haven't tested this yet, but the release notes indicate this has been fixed. Fast work LL. Thank you.
ETA : Checked it out and all works fine now. Bloody brilliant LL.

I get this error message occasionally, on start up of the viewer. If I log out and restart the viewer, then it has gone. I have never been able to get voice working. I can hear voice but not actually talk. I have never worked that one out, as it only happens in SL, not for other apps I use on my PC.

I miss the RL single socks vanishing unexplained into thin air occasionally though.
This happens with screw on wine bottle tops, too.

Idea: Alts that are obviously the "same person".
Because, in "Real Life", you can tell your friend just put a wig on and a different dress.
You have interesting friends!

Using that viewer for the first time, I was able to paint a non-square texture on a prim, but if I try to use it to change a folder image it shows "Selected texture is 512x256. Inventory image must be square, no less than 64x64" which is an expected constraint on those preview images. BUT THEN, trying to use that same texture to paint a prim again, I do get that message with the "[MINTEXDIM]".
I haven't tested further, but at first glance it seems as if using that folder preview image feature contaminates some viewer state for using textures at all.
I couldn't find that MINTEXDIM string in the jira so you may want to file one. (This is still a "release candidate" viewer, right? I think they need jiras, unless this one is reported somehow without that text appearing.)
Thank you very much for taking your time to look in to this. I have done as you suggested and filed a JIRA.

Weird.
That almost sounds like the restriction that now exists for profile images but as far as I know that is for profile images only, you can of course have textures with any aspect ratio in your inventory and SL would be pretty broken without them.
Yes, you can have textures with any aspect ratio in your inventory, but now, with this viewer, unless they are square, you can't actually use them, so yes, weird.

LL Viewer Second Life Release 6.6.15.581862 (64bit)
I have a problem with some uploaded textures with this viewer. When I try to change a texture in an item, for example a picture in a picture frame, I am stopped from doing it and get this message -
Selected image is 1024x512. Inventory image must be square, no less than (MINTEXDIM).
The size quoted changes, according to the size of the actual texture I am attempting to use, but some of my textures are square, some are not and before this viewer release, that was not a problem. These textures have already been uploaded and the upload charge paid, so to get useable ones, I would need to change the size of all the non-square ones, upload them again and of course, pay the upload charge again.
I don't understand why this change was made and even if it is really necessary, when before, it was not a restriction and therefore, not necessary. Is it possible that this change could be reverted? Other than that, the new viewer facilities are pretty cool.

I mostly have that with cookies, chips, chocolate and nuts all the time.
If it is nuts, do what The Queen did. "Queen furious about police stealing bowls of nuts and nibbles left out for her in apartments in the BP/Queen's corridor. She has a very savoury tooth and staff leave out cashews, Bombay Mix, almonds etc. Prob is that police on patrol eat the lot. She started marking the bowls to see when the levels dipped," he added.

Ladies, post pictures of your male alts so the guys can judge them.
This ^ comment is spoofing a similar one on one of the photo threads. The real reason I'm creating this thread is because someone suggested on another thread that real males should weigh in on how realistic are women's expections of how men should look in SL. The assumption in that post seemed to be that how women create a male avatar to look represents what they view as sexy. I think this may be true sometimes, but not always.
Anyway, if we're going to objectify avatars, let's do so with avatars that don't represent the gender we actually identify with in RL. I'm also curious how men think a male avatar should look, since women clearly dominate discussions of how female avatars should look.
I'll start with a look I threw together with a Brox! Mesh body & skin.
When I saw the title of this, I thought it was going to be about whisky!

There is no "land price issue", if you just follow the herd and get a house in Belliseria.
You're welcome.
Oh, I like the sound of being part of a herd and anyway, I think Second Life is enjoyable, exciting, fun so is great already. You should hear me screaming in RL when I am trying to stop my plane in SL from crashing. Totally immersed.

From the title of your post, you seem to be specifically referring to IM's. This happens with the LL Viewer too. I have my offline IM's sent to my email and even though I am in world, some IM's don't reach me in world, but just go straight to my email. I do not know why, but just put it down to lag because I am in a busy place.

Peeve : Stepping on a manhole cover, which then tilts and I disappear down it, up to my shoulders. No broken or damaged bones, I am a skier, I know how to fall, but so much soft tissue damage, I am bandaged like a mummy. My doctor friend who treated me and said I look like a mummy, asked me if I wanted embalming fluid! So cruel.
Peeve or maybe not a peeve : My little Pomeranian, so concerned for me, she wants to lick all of my wounds, which she absolutely cannot do. Why do dogs do that?

No, but I am already using 6.6.15.581557. Maybe you could update and see if the problem is resolved?

In my LL Viewer, if you click on the pic in the profile, it pops out and expands, so it can be seen better.
-
The really strange thing about all of this and it seems to be with both the FS and LL viewers, is that it doesn't affect everyone. I use the LL viewer, recently changed my name and all of my profile pics and there were no problems.

I don't care. If they don't want me there, it is their loss.
Their land, their rules and stuff, just like on every other sim in SL.
There are still a few left that I can visit.I still love Motown records. That will not change.
I was a mainly soul and disco DJ during my student time in the weekends.But I guess I will not apply if LL ever decides to hire a DJ for the Motown Sim.
Some of us can't hear it anyway, because of the country we live in.

Differing reactions is all. Fear triggers a fight, flight or freeze response in people with a myriad of differing ways that those reactions can manifest. Hard for arm chair warriors to properly judge what is behind every circumstance,
There is also the standing on a chair reaction, which is what my friend did the other day, when a huge monitor lizard wandered in to the house!

If someone puts in their profile, 3rd gender/sex, would that generally be understood?
3rd gender/sex is quite common in societies in South Asia and South East Asia and is generally accepted and thought of as "normal".
I just researched and discovered it also exists amongst Native Americans -
Ethnographic examples [of 'third genders'] can come from distinct societies located in Thailand, Polynesia, Melanesia, Native America, western Africa, and elsewhere and from any point in history, from Ancient Greece to sixteenth-century England to contemporary North America.

When this changed happened?
in Second Life Viewer
Posted
I noticed that too. I think it started, for me, with Second Life Release 6.6.16.582075 (64bit). I thought it was an omission and would probably get corrected in a later update.
