Ann Otoole | i'm feeling ripped off :( | |
Temple Fiertze | Oz, do you formally open the floor for questions, or do we just dive in? | |
Dil Spitz | Hey there :)
if no one protest i like to listen this meeting silently | |
Ann Otoole | so another it was there and someone paid to put it back again? | |
Jonathan | Everyone is welcome Dil | |
Honour McMillan | Dil :) I rarely speak | |
draconis.neurocam | there is sort of an agenda page on the wiki | |
Cummere Mayo | dil: heathen! we cast you out! J/k | |

08:07 | TriloByte Zanzibar | ok thanks |
Q Linden | sorry, all, Firefox decided to claim all of my machine | |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | bad FF | |
Cummere Mayo | take it you made the mistake of upgrading too? | |
Q Linden | ah well | |
08:08 | anyway, what are we talking about so far? | |
Honour McMillan | you | |
Cummere Mayo | we jsut psoted the agenda | |
Oz Linden | we were waiting | |

Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | "lets wayt for q to come back" | |
Q Linden | nice to see such a big crowd | |
Oz Linden | let's start at the top.... VWR-23834 | |
Cummere Mayo | grins wickedly | |
Temple Fiertze | New to this, so maybe I'm missing the agenda, but here is my question...The new Profile View in 2.5 is not working on Mac computers. Is there a fix for this? | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | Morning, Q | |
Cummere Mayo | temple can you add that to the end of the agenda please? | |
08:09 | TriloByte Zanzibar | Temple, it works fine on my machines |
Cummere Mayo | https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewer_2_Evolution_User_Group | |
Temple Fiertze | Where is the agenda? | |
Jonathan | I messed up the numbering of the agenda not knowing how to format the wiki | |
Temple Fiertze | As stated, new so I think I'm missing something | |
Honour McMillan | smacks Jonathan | |
Jonathan | https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewer_2_Evolution_User_Group | |
Q Linden | temple, are you getting SSL error? | |
Temple Fiertze | thanks | |
08:10 | Ann Otoole | everyone take a deep breath because it is awesome andeasy once you seehowit works |
Oz Linden | who put 23834 on the agenda? | |
Cummere Mayo | jonathan for future reference to do what you were trying is ## | |
Jonathan | ok, please fix it | |
Emma Floresby | hello :) am I bothering ? | |
draconis.neurocam | i did, it is a problem that is worse in some sims than others, i notice it usually when logging in | |
Ann Otoole | unlike my broken space bar that only half works. | |
draconis.neurocam | watching the debug menu | |
08:11 | i just get spammed with llmediadataclient requests | |
Honour McMillan | Morning Emma | |
Emma Floresby | hi Honour :) | |
draconis.neurocam | the sheer amount of which usually causes framerate loss | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | Oz, that's the problem that we talked about last week with the viewer stuttering, I believe | |
Ann Otoole | are they redzone url forcings? thats everywhere on mainland now. | |
Oz Linden | I think we should take a look at it, but would you please add some pointers to places where the problem is especially bad soe that we have good test cases? | |
08:12 | draconis.neurocam | sure, i can add them to the jira comments |
Q Linden | whoops, that's on my queue and I let it slide | |
Oz Linden | Ann... not the current agenda item | |
Jonathan | Oz, reload that agenda page when you have a moment | |
08:13 | Ann Otoole | so llmediaclient requests are not related to scripted forcing of urls toload? |
Oz Linden | it's not the performance issue, Ann | |
Ann Otoole | ok | |
08:14 | Oz Linden | next item : VWR-16978 |
TriloByte Zanzibar | VWR-23834 is relates to VWR-23318 | |
JIRA-helper | http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-23318
VWR-23318 Persistent Viewer 2 Framerate "Stutter" | |
Q Linden | i'm not sure it is, trilobyte, but it may be | |
08:15 | Ann Otoole | I only get some stutter as stuff firehoses in on landing. After that it settles down. |
draconis.neurocam | for 16978 i added that as well, the fix is easy and has been listed on the viewer 2 tweaks page since the day viewer 2 dropped almost | |
im just wondering how it never found its way in | ||
08:16 | Q Linden | I'm moving 23834 to STORM so we can tackle it in a sprint |
Jonathan | vwr-23944 and vwr-23946 address this and some other organizational issues | |
JIRA-helper | http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-23946
VWR-23946 Add the option to see object details when right clicking on another avatar | |
http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-23944
VWR-23944 Object Menu reorganization and enhancement | ||
08:17 | draconis.neurocam | http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Viewer_2_Tweaks/Full_2.0.0.203055#Add_Inspect_back_on_objects_and_avatar_objects is the fix for adding inspect back in |
Oz Linden | I've not used this feature on 1.23, so I can't really comment | |
Q? | ||
draconis.neurocam | it is useful when finding stolen content | |
Cummere Mayo | its an amazingly useful feature | |
avatar42 | I agree | |
Jonathan | Oz, those are 2 items from my long list--I thought Wolf would look at them | |
Ann Otoole | presumed "stolen"content anyway | |
draconis.neurocam | reguardless the information is useful | |
Cummere Mayo | theres tons of other places it comes in handy too | |
08:18 | Ann Otoole | i'd love to right click an avatar and see a list of their entire payload by name including memory and script count myself. |
08:19 | Cummere Mayo | nyx is working on soemthig like that |
Jonathan | Ann, I have a svc jira in for that, too | |
lufpleh Obstreperous | wonders if Object Profile > Details is similar to Inspect | |
Sera Lok | seems like there is something in the properties window that does "Inspect", it's just not called "INspect"? i'm not on v2 right now so can't check :/ | |
Q Linden | ann, wouldnt' that be a privacy leak? | |
Honour McMillan | Luf it doesn't give the detail | |
Jonathan | There is Object Profile and then Object Details | |
which is the old Inspect | ||
08:20 | Honour McMillan | hmmmm |
Ann Otoole | nope. it would allow us to eject people carrying malicious objects | |
Jonathan | but it is hard to find and doesn't always work | |
Ann Otoole | and spot script overusers fast | |
Jonathan | you can wear a hud to script usage / avatar | |
Script Counter |
Total Avatar Scripts - 2250 Highest - Temple Fiertze: 649 (29%) Lowest - Oz Linden: 0 (0%) | |
Jonathan | *to see | |
08:21 | Oz Linden | A quick process note... 16978 describes a solution, not a problem |
Q Linden | i'm not really sure what's being asked for here | |
Oz Linden | I've just heard several problems for which it _might_ be the right solution | |
Ann Otoole | so the feature is there by way of scripts now. why not be in the client? | |
Cummere Mayo | a return for a feature that 1.x had that 2.x didnt q... | |
F L I P | "'Inspect' is missing from Viewer 2.0" isn't a problem? | |
Ann Otoole | we are talking avatar attachments and not rezzeditems right? | |
08:22 | Oz Linden | not clear, Ann |
draconis.neurocam | it is removed functionality from 1.2x and snowglobe | |
Cummere Mayo | a feature incredibly useful to buidlers, sim owners, etc | |
Jonathan | Oz, my 2 jiras are better written--I mean to pass them by snowstorm once wolf is more settled in | |
Cummere Mayo | (btw inspect worked on rezzed items and on attachments) | |
oobscure | I apologize for the interruption: unfortunately I have to leave now and i'm not sure I'll be back in SL before the meeting's over. I'm the one who added https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-809 to the agenda, so feel free not to discuss it here .. but please take note that 2.5 official release seems to be unusable for Linux users because of this bug. Bye everybody, and again sorry. | |
JIRA-helper | STORM-809 Official Linux builds no longer built with c-ares support - causes big performance pauses | |
08:23 | Ann Otoole | i'm kind of curious about privacy in general. which user group should we discuss privacy in? |
Q Linden | thanks, oo, 809 is in process now | |
08:24 | but anyway, let's get back to the other issue | |
this feels related to but not identical to the build tools question | ||
Oz Linden | it is not a requirement that the viewer always preserve all past ways of doing anything, so if a feature is removed that's not by itself a bug. In this case, it's clear that many people have problems that feature helped with, so we should probably do something about it. Whether or not that somethign is bringing back exactly the old way remains to be seen | |
Q Linden | oz is correct | |
draconis.neurocam | the code is still in the viewer, all that is required is an xml change | |
Jonathan | Oz, that feature is present, just not easily discovered | |
Cummere Mayo | the code is still there exactly | |
08:25 | Q Linden | I remember that we reenabled this a while back |
Jonathan | That are what my 2 jiras are about | |
Ann Otoole | as long as we can be aware of the new method.I've personally relearned everything for SLv2. | |
didn'tkillme torelearn | ||
Jonathan | The old Inspect is now Object Details, down in Object Profile window | |
Cummere Mayo | but it doesnt work well with attachments | |
08:26 | Jonathan | Cummere, it will if my 2 jiras are taken up |
I fixed that 2 months ago but they got put on hold | ||
Q Linden | So yes, I'd like to get wolf in on this discussion, now that we have him. | |
Oz Linden | Ann... might it be a good learning tool if we added a Hint for this... the first time you open Object Profile it could popup a reminder that the details are there and describe whta they do? | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | I like that idea, Oz | |
08:27 | Gentle Heron | Hints are almost always a good idea! |
Ann Otoole | sure. might help some. i hack away tilli figure it out. | |
Jonathan | everyone please look at https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-23944 | |
JIRA-helper | VWR-23944 Object Menu reorganization and enhancement | |
Cummere Mayo | that would work though imo it would be better to make it a front level | |
Jonathan | https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-23946 | |
draconis.neurocam | oh, i am sorry actually i did not realize it was still there but hidden in the object profile tab | |
JIRA-helper | VWR-23946 Add the option to see object details when right clicking on another avatar | |
Jonathan | note the attached images | |
Cummere Mayo | I like jonathans solution much better | |
Q Linden | Jonathan, thanks. | |
Cummere Mayo | easier faster less confusing and less clicks | |
08:28 | Oz Linden | ok... I think we've got the problem framed well enough to get some review going on solutions |
Q Linden | Let's get wolf on this and pursue it soon; I'm thinking when we get the build sprint going | |
right | ||
let's move on | ||
Jonathan | Wolf is our new ui design member, he can evaluate these ideas | |
Oz Linden | time to move to the next item? | |
draconis.neurocam | yes | |
Cummere Mayo | please | |
Oz Linden | ecc-49 | |
https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/ECC-49 | ||
Jonathan | that's an internal link | |
draconis.neurocam | since 2.4 cloth deforms have not been viewable on other avatars | |
Cummere Mayo | that looks like it should go to nyx's team but... they no longer have a usergroup | |
08:29 | Oz Linden | clingy pants |
Sera Lok | wow that's a 1.xx thing too eh? | |
Q Linden | it's public, though, jonathan | |
Sera Lok | found its way into v2 yay | |
Q Linden | we talked about this yesterday in our internal meeting | |
we're trying to get it some attention | ||
Nea Fredriksson | i added in the jira comments that this seems to cause avatar cloth effects to show on skintight clothes too | |
08:30 | draconis.neurocam | until mesh comes out theres no way to have baggy clothing that looks semi decent, and non stiff |
without it | ||
Q Linden | can we just say yes, we know, and we've escalated it? | |
draconis.neurocam | ok | |
Ann Otoole | are you sure that is not tied to something else like rebakes partially complete and pressing rebake starts the cycle again except the moment you press rebake it rezzes properly? | |
Oz Linden | we did some checks yesterday, and rebake doesn't seem to help, Ann | |
08:31 | Q Linden | https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-17469 |
JIRA-helper | VWR-17469 Cannot delete broken links | |
Q Linden | doesn't consistently help :( | |
Jonathan | I started to work on this--now I know how to make a broken link, but didn't figure out how to delete them yet | |
08:32 | Cummere Mayo | dumb question but might this be a server side thing? |
Oz Linden | well, creating the problem is usually more than half the battle :-) | |
Jonathan | no, it is done in the viewer | |
Q Linden | jonathan should we move it to storm? | |
Jonathan | yes | |
it is a definite problem, though occurs rarely | ||
Cummere Mayo | as i siad dumb question | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | wouldn't you delete them by taking the item off (or detaching) from current outfit and re-saving? | |
Ann Otoole | no repro is kind of a problem there. | |
08:33 | Jonathan | I will put in the repo |
Ann Otoole | people need tosend the stuff to the devs to try with | |
Cummere Mayo | that doesnt work trilo | |
at least... not for me | ||
Jonathan | Trilo, what you said applies to a link, not a broken one | |
08:34 | Cummere Mayo | ann the broken links i had were not easily or consistantly reproed |
Q Linden | jonathan, STORM-1002 | |
JIRA-helper | http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-1002
STORM-1002 Cannot delete broken links | |
Jonathan | thank you Q | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | ok, I'll muck around with it again. The couple times I'd seen a broken link in my inventory, that's what got rid of it | |
Cummere Mayo | q open mic | |
Jonathan | You should be able to r click on a broken link and just delete it | |
Wolfpup | i hear you q ans Oz | |
08:35 | Cummere Mayo | anyways move on? |
Q Linden | ok, sorry about that, voice fail :( | |
Oz Linden | https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-24136 | |
JIRA-helper | VWR-24136 Deprecate AllowMultipleViewers | |
Cummere Mayo | please please please can we do this? | |
Q Linden | so the problem is that I think if we do this it will break SLURLS | |
08:36 | Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | please no, its usefull being able to run more than one viewer at once |
F L I P | Ya know, if you call someone and they don't accept within a certain amount of time, the call won't work even when they finally do accept. Not sure how relevant that is o.O | |
Cummere Mayo | tank this will let you | |
easier | ||
Q Linden | what the bug is asking for is that it be the default | |
Oz Linden | The question I've got is... is this potentially confusing to users who are not power-SLers? | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | tank this will let you. The idea is to have it always be true and get it off the debug settings list | |
Wolfpup | actualy that has ben upgraded so that it is in the general tab of preferences | |
Cummere Mayo | i really dont think so oz... | |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | then its not being deprecated... | |
Q Linden | the SLURLs work by starting a viewer and handing off the destination | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | I can't imagine that you'd try to run multiple viewers if you're not a power user | |
08:37 | Cummere Mayo | q ive almsot never had an issue getting the surl to the viewer i want |
Oz Linden | but might you start more than one unintentionally? | |
Wolfpup | actualy it is in the advanced tab of preferences | |
Oz Linden | like with a slurl? | |
Jonathan | If you click on a slurl and have a viewer running you get a teleport-to floater, right? | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | yeah, slurl links haven't worked for me in over a year | |
Cummere Mayo | nope | |
it looks for one open | ||
before it starts a new | ||
Ann Otoole | grumbles about wiki and the + instead of spaces | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | not for me, cummere... at least not in mac os | |
08:38 | Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | well, ok, phoenix has this enabled by default, and rarly if ever have we had a support issue on it |
Q Linden | so this isn't a terrible idea, but nor is it a slam dunk | |
Oz Linden | that spaces problem is different... and is fixed now except on Linux | |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | so it might be alright in the official viewer to have it enabled by default as well | |
Cummere Mayo | its one of the first 24 things im usually asked about by new rezis | |
08:39 | Ima Mechanique | sOz soinstead of a "Sl is already running" message that happens currently, replace with a "Are you sure you want to open another viwer dialogue" |
Cummere Mayo | can /how do I run more then one viewer | |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | that would be fine | |
Ann Otoole | it is an option in preferences to run multiple viewers now | |
Q Linden | why do new users want to run mor ethan one viewer? | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | same here, it's a popular topic in the macintosh users group as well | |
Oz Linden | I've got a suggestion... if we wrote a test plan that included all the ways to launch SL and whether each should or should not start a new one.... | |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | alts | |
Oz Linden | and agreed on that | |
08:40 | Cummere Mayo | q becuase they found a reg api that allows them to make a new avi with a legacy name in most cases |
and want to xfer stuff | ||
Ann Otoole | heck i reinstalled and slurls just get me adialog toassociate a program now | |
Oz Linden | and then had someone turn on Allow Mutiple Viewers in t the current viewer and run through the cases | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | alts/photos/machinima | |
Q Linden | ok, cummere, that makes sense | |
Oz Linden | then we'd know if we've got a problem or not changign the default | |
Ann Otoole | use case matrix hades | |
08:41 | Cummere Mayo | (which should give you soem feedback to hand back to whoever about registration names too) |
Q Linden | good point :) | |
Oz Linden | do we have a volunteer to write the test cases? | |
08:42 | Cummere Mayo | -if- i find time this weekend |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | the only short term issue might be that sence user settings are inversse of the origonal, there might be some conflits there untill the user clears their settings file | |
Oz Linden | if we have to, we could easily build a test viewer once we have a test plan | |
08:43 | Jonathan | Is it in their privat settings file if they have never changed it? |
Oz Linden | but until we know what all teh cases are and what we want for each, there's not much point | |
Cummere Mayo | Ill try ang get one together over the weekend. if i dont... remind me at scrum monday | |
Q Linden | oh, if this is a binary setting, we literally can't change the default | |
we have to create a new setting with the opposite value and change the code | ||
lufpleh Obstreperous | thinks the present preferance check box is suffucient, little gain to be had by this | |
08:44 | Oz Linden | or just change the code, if we find that we don't really need a setting |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | ok | |
i think currently its a bool | ||
Q Linden | yeah, probably | |
Cummere Mayo | if its really not needed wouldnt it be awesome to strip it out ? | |
08:45 | unneeded code is a waste | |
Q Linden | IF | |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | ^ | |
Q Linden | anyway, let's talk again after investigation | |
Oz Linden | Next - VWR-24804 | |
JIRA-helper | http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-24804
VWR-24804 Taking off part or all of a clothing/attachment set and then wearing another item often causes the the removed item(s) to reapear | |
Sera Lok | begs the question in what case does a user NOT want to have the ability to run mult viewers... not so much why they would want it | |
08:46 | draconis.neurocam | this was being looked at by andrew linden, it was mentioned at the server meeting yesterday |
Ryu Darragh | I use it when testing. | |
draconis.neurocam | the reattaching issue | |
Ann Otoole | I have never repro'd that one. | |
Q Linden | sera, because most people don't have multiple logins | |
Ryu Darragh | Multiviewer is usefol for content creators. | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | The only time I've had removed attachments revert is during periods of heavy server lag | |
Oz Linden | moving on.... | |
Q Linden | it does feel like an advanced use case to me | |
Jonathan | Multiple viewers is also useful to be on 2 grids at the same time | |
Sera Lok | yes,, I use it alot.. that was my point^^ anyway.. | |
Q Linden | anyway.... | |
08:47 | SH-999 is under active investigation | |
Ryu Darragh | I've never had the attachment problem. | |
Even with 2.x | ||
Q Linden | so I think this is happening now | |
Cummere Mayo | thats related but NOT the same issue | |
Q Linden | not sure we need to say much more here, do we? | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | yes, it's been happening occasionally, think of it as rubber-banding on attachments | |
08:48 | Ryu Darragh | Do others see these phantom attachments? |
Cummere Mayo | this occurs with any layer and doesnt always boot attachments, usually puts old clothing and attachments back on | |
F L I P | I don't like that JIRA's use of the term "boots off" (presumably to mean "detaches") so close to the word "Jacket"...gets confusing, are we talking about boots or jackets? | |
Cummere Mayo | and they arent phaontom everyone sees them | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | I believe so, but just like with rubber-banding, removing again usually resolves it | |
Ryu Darragh | Any item, I think, Flip | |
Q Linden | so if everyone sees them, feels like a server issue | |
08:49 | TriloByte Zanzibar | it's definitely a server issue |
Jonathan | It was discussed in detail with Andrew | |
Cummere Mayo | k well i dont have the ability to move to svc | |
Ryu Darragh | And if not, is a client machine/connection problem? | |
Q Linden | and both andrew and the SH team ar e on it | |
Oz Linden | should I move this to SVC, Q | |
? | ||
Q Linden | yes, let's do that | |
lufpleh Obstreperous | oskar & kitty barnet were discussing trying to repro this yesterday in beta group | |
Oz Linden | next item is STORM-2 | |
JIRA-helper | http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/STORM-2
STORM-2 As a User, I want to set my own default views with specific UI layout so I can tailor my Viewer experience to the activities I'm most interested in. | |
08:50 | Cummere Mayo | ild like to know what the palns are to take this? |
Ryu Darragh | Yummy ^.^ | |
Ann Otoole | can-o-wurmz? | |
Ryu Darragh | I eat wurmz... | |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | lol | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | the project build showed promise, but needed work | |
Cummere Mayo | personally i think graphics movement prefs should be also similarly saveable | |
Q Linden | ok, i'm gonna put a stop right here to saving floater states as part of this project | |
08:51 | we could bury this by adding too much | |
Ann Otoole | well the default bottom bar buttons are newbieish already. wouldlove an advanced user setting that is the oppositeof that. (for instance) | |
Q Linden | first step is just the positions and sizes | |
and presence | ||
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | thats really helpful right there | |
Cummere Mayo | right... and my understanding is we have that? | |
draconis.neurocam | not for things on the sidebar, they are definitely only in one place | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | local chat width as well, I don't think that was included yet | |
08:52 | Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | id like to see all the buttons on the bottom enabled by efault so new users know they exsist |
Oz Linden | Question for you alll.... what do you tihnk of the bottom bar buttons with icons in Firestorm, as opposed to the text labels? | |
Cummere Mayo | oz I love firestorms ui | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | I prefer icons, more space efficient | |
Ryu Darragh | I'm interested in trying multiple child windows for those of us with multiple monitors. | |
Ima Mechanique | loved Firestorm | |
Ann Otoole | i don't use tpvs except once in a while kirstens | |
Oz Linden | I didn't ask a general question, Cummere | |
Cummere Mayo | including their ability to make the annoying sidebar optional | |
Dil Spitz | debug-floater also do not remember its pose as the statisics do also no | |
lufpleh Obstreperous | fine forolder users, meaningless to new | |
Cummere Mayo | bu the iocns are a + | |
smaller, sleaker, dont require translating | ||
08:53 | Sera Lok | prefers a choice or, if icon, mouseover text at least |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | if you allow different skins, like in FS, you can have different skins with different UI options | |
Ann Otoole | i personally think allviewers should use the same iconography | |
draconis.neurocam | if the images would make it possible to maybe move some sidebar things to the bottom bar i would be all for it | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | the one in 2.x with the little camera seems universally understood (and no need for localization, save for floating help/tooltip) | |
Q Linden | based on bitter experience, you have to have some text for buttons, even if it's just a tooltip | |
Sera Lok | i like being able to point to a named thing when helping newer residents, not an icon thingie i have to describe | |
Q Linden | so you gotta localize that anyway | |
exactly, sera | ||
Oz Linden | focus people... this becomes impossible if everyone goes off on a separate tangent | |
08:54 | Ann Otoole | *if* LL wanted a true skinnable UI then there is a lotof work to be done. |
Q Linden | we know, ann, and that's why storm 2 starts it | |
Cummere Mayo | usually if they have tool tips on i can help them find icons | |
Ann Otoole | like eqII etc | |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | sere does have a point, and the main reason why we added skins with lables instead of icons fo rht ebuttons, despite it takes up more room | |
Oz Linden | we're trying to bite off the pieces we have some hope of swallowing and that don't cause support confusion | |
08:55 | Q Linden | right (*gulp*) |
Ann Otoole | LL should not support custom skins | |
TriloByte Zanzibar | do you have a lot of support issues with the snapshot button, Oz? | |
Cummere Mayo | we might not be able to get rid of ALL text but we could probably make more of them icons | |
Ann Otoole | not support teamwise | |
Cummere Mayo | like a map for the map button >< | |
Phoenix-FirestormViewer Rocks | if possible, perhaps have it optional to display lables or not? | |
Ann Otoole | skinners must support their skins | |
Sera Lok | shrugs.. i like text | |
Cummere Mayo | and the almsot unviersal speak icon for the vc button | |
08:56 | Oz Linden | Icons arent' the problem for support, TrioByte... fully skinning that allowed users to drastically rearrange the interface probably is |
Ann Otoole | don't be a skinner if you don't want topay the support time price | |
Q Linden | and to sera's point, you have to have a name | |
for everything | ||
even if it's not on the screen | ||
Ryu Darragh | Need to have either rollbacl system or a revert button :P | |
Cummere Mayo | yeah but allot of that can be done in tool tips | |
08:57 | Q Linden | anyway, icons on the bottom bar -- i sthere a jira for that? |
Sera Lok | true enough. i'm just thinking of new users already overwhelmed with images/icons | |
Oz Linden | The problem arises when skins are shared... some newbie meets a power user, power user says "use this skin", newbie is now off the reservation with little help possible because support doesn't even have the skin | |
Ann Otoole | if i made a real mmorpg ui then i would never ask LL's support staff tosupport it. | |
Ryu Darragh | Yes. | |
Cummere Mayo | amen ann | |
08:58 | TriloByte Zanzibar | I see VWR-22599 for icons on bottom bar |
JIRA-helper | http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-22599
VWR-22599 Bottom bar icons only | |
Ryu Darragh | You'd need to vette such skins like 3rd part viewers and that'd be a nightmare. | |
Sera Lok | but you can bet people using it would be looking to LL to support it eh^^ | |
Cummere Mayo | oz... with all due respect... we dont send new users to support... we want them to get support | |
>< | ||
Oz Linden | not helpful, Cummere | |
Ann Otoole | LL's support would simply say "you are detected using a tpv UI. You must contact them for support. Goodbye." | |
08:59 | Cummere Mayo | oz... support tells new residents "file a ticket" |
Ryu Darragh | I'm on a ressie support team and *we* need to know what viewer and have used it when we help newbies :P | |
Ann Otoole | so we have a solid requirement for skin identification | |
Oz Linden | which is a failure from the newbie point of view, so it's not a trap we want to leave lying around | |
Q Linden | ok, so that's all the time we have.... | |
all the time *I* have anyway | ||
Jonathan | Can the rest of the agenda carry over to next week? | |
Q Linden | so thanks all | |
yes | ||
