You must have a thinner avie then mine, because I got a butt as big as a Sim in those skirts LMAO As for groups, it is better now with the SOM’s but, there are so many great designers that I would like to be a group member of and I can’t, I didn’t know that would have any impact on the database though, lord knows we don’t need that. Lastly, what Imprudence viewer? I will have to check into this, I am excited! I have been in RL a lot last few days guess I am behind.

Tesa Jewell → The Imprudence viewer has new ways to search inventory. As for the groups, I think 25 is just fine. It used to be 10… More than 25 would made more pressure on the database. Actually, I like pencil (system) skirts.
Agrees with you in the rest: pics and LMs. Also add your store to your profile picks and/or classifieds. And when setting up vendors make them to show in search.

Hi! My wish list:
please let me send something to all in my friend list. Ya know for example, Christmas cards. How hard can it be to say, add another little column with a another check box to select or not but to send something like a prim, or a note, or a invitation? Maybe a select all contacts, or bulk transfer.

OMG can we please have more ways to search inventory. It is hard to sort out different things like items that are transferable, that would be cool!

I know these have been addressed, but I gotta say it. MORE GROUPS PLEASE, NO system skirts, and YES pictures of the outfit in the folder with a LM if you want me to come back.

Great list btw and great post!

Ana. I just got the prim skirt builder from your HQ. Gosh I love it. I don’t need to remember any single command ever. Yeah now I can continue creating my clothes. Thank you so much for the link.

I’ll IM you once i’m in world. I can’t wait to see the useful stuff from you because I know it will be good.

Anya Yalin → I like the option of two prims with different shades or one prim and a notecard explaining how to tint sculpties.

Annah Whitfield → this is what I have in a notecard in-world:

“Neural Blankes: the sculped prims do not do anything at all with alpha layers. so you take your sculpt map into PHotoshop/GIMP/whatever and add an alpha channel to it, then save as a 32bit .tga
then upload the sculpt map.
you can be creative with the alpha map of course. Some people put their store logos, etc. (this is what I do with mine)”

Annah: In Photoshop, under Channels, click Create New Channel. That’s all there is to it. The map will look the same saved, but will show up transparent in SL.

Ana: I indeed hide my sculpt maps, but this still wouldn’t prevent people from copying a prim. I’ve heard there are scripts out there to copy mod sculpts. Including two differently tinted attachments would be the best option I suppose. I’ve stopped worrying so much about having my items stolen. It would break my heart if it happened, but hardly anyone knows me yet and if it does happen I’ll just have to file a complaint. I don’t want one potential thief ruining a product for everyone, so I’m going mod from now on as much as possible.

/me wonders how can I hide my sculpt maps? I see some people have them transparent, but I don’t know how! And since you spoke about it… do you know how!??!

Anya Yalin → well, you can keep the sculpted mod and hide the sculpted map and a good solution would be making two sculptie attachments: one tinted greyish and other plain. But this solution sucks because even in 1.21 my WL presets were different from some designers and I kept seeing sculpties that wouldn’t match the texture of the outfit.

If you creating boxes, please add a script to create a folder on inventory on touch. Unfortunately, such script is no use for no copy items that will remain in the box and won’t get into the inventory folder.

Nice post. The folder thing stuck out for me. I haven’t given it much thought since I moved to my friend’s land, but not only is unpacking tedious it’s also damn annoying if you don’t have your own place. A lot of places don’t allow rezzing. My vendors give out folders, but maybe that’ll change in the future. I’ve been considering having them modded so they can give out both transfer and copy versions of an item, which I think would require it to be packed in a box.

I’m torn on resize scripts as well. I used some in my Benny the Bear, but haven’t added them since because I noticed they’re slightly less accurate than SL resize (mine are at least). And since a lot of my stuff is lined up so tightly, I can’t have prims move even the slightest.
I’m not sure a lot of designers would take you up on your request to keep prims with resizers mod. The point of resize script is in fact not so much to help customers as it is to prevent prims from being copied (by dropping a scanner script in). At least, that’s the reason I added mine to Benny. Granted, there’s no point in protecting sculpted prims that are part of an outfit. On their own, they’re useless to thieves.
