Refining Feature Requests

Features are more likely to get implemented if the description of the feature is clear. For a complicated feature, a link to a specification on the wiki is a great way to help flesh out the idea.

Minor Feature Requests

• Add a "link" ("alias", "shortcut") facility to the inventory, that would not break Permissions. For instance, I have one nice set of prim dress shoes that are no-copy, and four tuxedos. I cannot make complete separate outfits, because I have only one copy of the shoes. However, using a "link", I could create an outfit folder with the tux and a link to the no-copy shoes. Still means I would only have the one set, but it would make changing clothes much much easier. Buckaroo Mu 09:23, 9 January 2007 (PST)

Major Feature Requests

• A DirectX3D-driven version of the viewer, allowing those with ATi or Intel hardware accelerated cards to take advantage of the processing power. The system could allow selection as a preference of OpenGL or DirectX3D, as many Windows-only games currently do. Conditional build statements would keep the option from appearing in the non-DirectX3D capable builds. Buckaroo Mu 09:28, 9 January 2007 (PST)

• A method of offloading some of the graphics processing to the GPU might help increase framerate. Buckaroo Mu 09:37, 9 January 2007 (PST)

• Support for detachable sub-windows, allowing the inventory, chat history, IM, etc. windows to be moved to a second monitor (if available). This is a very highly-desired feature (by those that have dual-monitor systems). Buckaroo Mu 09:37, 9 January 2007 (PST)
