Inventory File Menu

  • Open - The action taken when selecting this menu item depends on the type of inventory item that is highlighted. For notecards and scripts, opens the text edit window. For photos and textures, displays the image. For Gestures opens the edit window, For skins wears the skin. For objects, opens the "Inventory Item Properties"
  • New Window - Opens another Inventory floating window. This is useful while sorting your inventory collection, as you can move items between the windows, and search for items in one window, while leaving the other as is.
  • Show Filters - Opens the "Inventory Filters" sub-window. Note: window title reads "All Items" or "Recent Items" according to which tab is selected in the main inventory window. This is a sub-window which will close if the main inventory window is closed. Allows filtering the items shown in the main inventory window by type or age. This is useful when searching for items when you know the the type of item and age, but not the full name.
  • Reset Filters - Resets the inventory filters to the default values.
  • Close All Folders - Closes all open folders in the window, leaving just the top level folders showing (My Inventory and Library normally)
  • Empty Trash - Items which have been deleted from your regular inventory folders, or the 3D map region go into the Trash folder. This item will empty the trash folder, after which the items are no longer recoverable, so only do this if you are sure you have no more use for the items.
