Tips and Tricks

You shouldn't have to open their profile to copy their name; this should be an option on their avatar context menu as well as being available in the profile.

There's bound to be other places it would be useful as well.

The one option I failed to see is that display names are disabled by default and that only after a user accepts a detailed list of what possable problems allowing display names to be shown will they be allowed to see them at all...  The other need to have option is the ability for a parcel / estate owner to disable the use of display names on their property, like being able to disable voice or flying because of the possable disruption it can cause.  I see alot of people that don't want this...   and a few that do....  those few should be able to opt in, and the rest should be opt'ed out by default

Thanks for killing my skull and crossbones in my group tags. Why are you saying we can paste stuff in when you disabled high ascii?

I filed a jira about this.. after some testing I determined that the group title may now be shorter than before, and it's cutting off unicode characters "in the middle" resulting in a character that the viewer doesn't recognize, so it just puts up a ?

Please do some testing yourself, and add your comments/findings here: https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-23629

Copy to clipboard is a good and necessary feature; but there should also be a 'send name to chat' menu selection, that (a) adds the name to the chat field with a single click, and (b) doesn't overwrite the contents of the clipboard.

This is a problem with Viewer 2 in general; you can do what you want to get done, but it takes about twice as many clicks and keystrokes as it should.

I'm talking a single character title. Anyway LL makes enough money to pay for an SQA department. If LL wants to pay a L$1000 bounty per defect that is confirmed then I'll register defects.

Edited to add: Stuff like this should fetch a bounty: http://blogs.secondlife.com/message/466955#466955 because it is, or should be, embarrassing.

 

Update: Figured one out. There is some odd behavior not present before that indicates the code has been made overly complex. In addition the tag now only displays a few characters followed by a question mark. So basically group tags are now useless. Too bad Kirstens has so many issues now. Oh yea nice job disabling anti aliasing LL. It used to work. That should tell the board something.

I feel sorry for the poor lady bunny that you ejected without any warning and expect you apologise to her and make up again.

No standard Edit menu, takes twice the number of steps that it should to do a simple copy/paste, a half-baked feature (display names) that requires goofy workarounds like this sure spells "fast, easy, fun" in my book LL. Way to go!

I'm feeling increasingly less like dealing with SL and all it's glitches on top of the Lab's boneheaded direction with each passing day.

Wouldn't it be less complicated for the user if you highlight with your mouse and could then right click copy/paste? It's not that hard of thing to add that feature that has many more uses then just for display names such as copying sizes or locations of prims when building..

@SuezanneC and @Tinker and @MB.Robonaught It's true with a number of features, that right-click menu as an additional option is also useful (and more convenient). We'll keep an eye on how Copy To Clipboard is being used, to inform further involvement.

@Winter Thanks for going ahead and reporting that, it's been awhile since I played with Unicode group titles.

@Vick That's my wife. I feel even worse now.
