[Viewer 3.5.3 on Mac - can't install once downloaded]

I've never seen this happen before 3.5.2 and 3.5.3. After downloading, I open the .dmg and try to drag the icon to applications. I get a window saying "Preparing to copy to "Applications" " - and that's it. It never copies! 

Has any Mac user managed to install 3.5.3 ?

Get Blender, which is free from blender.org. There are plenty of tutorials for blender modeling both generally and specific to SL on Youtube. Blender 2.5 / 2.6 are much the same, and have a different and less forbidding user interface than 2.4. Scale and axes in Blender 2.5++ are the same as SL (1 meter = 1 meter, Z is up, axis colors are the same).

Some boats allow you to edit these settings, for example the Trudeaus have a notecard inside them that you can edit to change the angle. It does sound quite wrong to be facing the wrong way though.

Modal

The search functionality has two modes

• Mode 1 with the events / destinations / classifieds
• Mode 2 with the column on the left.

The only way from Mode 1 to Mode 2 is to actually execute a search. To get from Mode 2 to Mode 1 click "Everything" at the top of the column on the left, and sometimes click Places, and sometimes neither works until you relog.

Best practice in usability is to Avoid Modes. If Modes are necessary (which they are not in this case) then it should be possible to get from one to the other. For example, make the hide / show for the left navigation bar always available. 

Partial name search

Typing in a partial name (e.g. Aq Para instead of my full name) fails in people search. V 1.23.5 search could do partial name search.

Closing on teleport / 15 minute timeout

Let the user decide when to close or minimize windows instead of using a timeout or guessing when the user wants to close a window. 

• A timeout will time out when the user does not want it to. 
• If you try to guess what the user wants to do you will guess wrong.

Land Search

People who are looking for "real estate " do so based on price, prims and square meters. The name of the parcel is not required and not useful. It must be possible to initiate a land search without a search string. The behavior of the left hand search fields and top bar for land search is strange - inputs in one have unexpected consequences in the other. I don't have time to work through this in detail. If I try to delete the search string and search without it, it just comes back again. The sale and rent radio buttons change settings without being clicked. The right answer is probably to have one set of controls and input fields rather than two. Like the V 1 search user interface.

Terminology

This is not "Real Estate", it's virtual estate. Just call it land.

People who are looking for a 512sqm on mainland to rent or buy are going to be confused by the choice between Mainland - Full Region and Mainland - Auction. Mainland - Full Region sounds like you want to buy or rent a whole 256mx256m region.

• You can now search for mainland rentals
• The functionality to find the cheapest mainland for sale per square meter that was available in V1 land search in 2009 now present for the first time in V2. 
• Endless scrolling

There isn't room in that box to describe all the errors here. I will add my own comment below.

Further it's not just pics that don't show. It's also Groups and Picks. And Classifieds have not been showing for some time. As people pay for Classifieds, it's pretty important that they show up.

I have the same problem. If a JIRA for this exists, please post the number. 

Also, removing the Applications Support folder will delete all chat and IM logs!
