[So all criticism of Viewer 2 is gone with the new system?]

This sounds like a nasty bug in our editor - do you know of a JIRA issue for it?

In the meantime, there are some useful workarounds. As Hitomi said, you can now use external text editors to edit LSL scripts. If you have the "Advanced" menu enabled, hit "Show Debug Settings" then set the externalEditor setting to a command line for invoking your editor application of choice - for example, here's a command line for a non-existent Windows editor: C:\Program Files\JoannaLumleyEdit\joanna.exe "%s"  (Note the "%s" at the end, in which the temporary script file is passed to the editor.)

Now, when you open a script to edit, the viewer's editor window will have a new Edit button at the bottom. Clicking this button will download the script to a local temporary file and open your chosen external editor app. Every time this file is saved by your editor, the Viewer will notice and put the results back in the viewer's editor.

I hope this solution makes things easier!

[So all criticism of Viewer 2 is gone with the new system?]

We decided to reconfigure the Viewer 2 forum setup, and in order to get it going quickly, didn't move and reorganise old posts from the old system. However, please feel free to criticise Viewer 2 as much as you like, as long as you stick to the forum guidelines while doing it.

Also, speaking on behalf of the Viewer 2 team - which I'm not really a member of - making criticisms in a constructive manner will improve their chances of being addressed. Alternatively, go for comedy value. ("My Viewer 2 walks into a bar...")

[When trying to use images I get this...]

We previously had consistency and security issues with people referencing external image URLs in posts. As such, any images to be included have to be uploaded to the site. Fortunately, it's pretty easy - just hit the "Insert/Edit Image" button in the edit toolbar, which will pop up a form that allows you to either upload an image or reuse a previously-updaded one.
