[Two strange behaviors in using SL viewer 3.6.6.280963 on a Mac]

I wondering if this is just me or are others running the latest SL viewer havng the same issue.

1) I cannot resize the screen before logging in or while in SL. Attempting to resize the screen leaves drag marks and the new screen appears as a smaller view inside the frame with a large black section above the screen. The only work around is to drag the viewer screen to the size I want, quit SL, then restart SL and the viewer is set to the size I just set before quitting.

 

2) Intermittently, I am no longer able to just quit SL. This is especially true when I have resized the screen as in 1). I have to force quit the viewer to quit SL. This also happens intermittently when quitting SL from inside SL.

Thoughts?

[Help to Fix : Adobe Flash Player Plugin for Mac]

Sylvio,

It does not look like there has been any change on this issue. Is this correct?

Neither LL or Adobe have addressed this issue it appears.

[When a SL client for iPad Will be made?]

Thanks Cobra, set this up fairly quickly. It took a bit to figure out how to use the gestures but once I got the hang of it, went very well. Also, needed to reload SoundFlower, but once that was loaded picked up the music stream nicely.

 

This experience begs the question, when will LL or someone else develop a viewer for iOS/Android, or both. This doesn't need to be the feature packed version we have on desktops and laptops but one designed for viewing vs. building etc. SL is missing a real opportunity to increase concurrency numbers and bring back people who have left or access less frequently than in the past. I look at not only my habits but also non-tech friends who spend 80% or more of their computer time on an iPad. While I still use the laptop to do heavy lifting work on I increasingly do everything else on the iPad or iPhone.

 

The approach you described above, written on 5/25/2011 - two years ago is still the only viable approach for iPad or other mobile device. The fact that this approach made the tweat rounds this week means a lot of people who know quite a bit about SL were not using this approach. Splashtop + the mobile app is one step but not the real step that should be taken. LL or a 3rd party needs to implement a solution...my two cents.

 

Thanks for posting your reply in 2011. Wish I had seen it earlier.
