Ctrl-Shift-G worked for me (on a Mac)... don't know if that's platform specific, but it is the same as in the 2.5.2 release. ___ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
[opensource-dev] viewer-autobuild2010 Ctrl-I bug
Using autobuild I just built an up to date viewer of viewer-autobuild2010 and found that Ctrl-I will open the inventory sidepanel but will no longer close it. Another person verified this in a viewer build from Merov's repo. If this is not an intentional change would someone please file a jira (my internet is going to be very limited for a while). If this is an intentional change I would like to see it changed back. A Linden who knows what's what needs to weigh in on this. -jonathan ___ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
[opensource-dev] STORM-9 - sharing location and status message to Twitter
I just commented STORM-9, that is "As a User, I want to share my location and a custom status with friends on Twitter so they can follow what I’m up to in Second Life" Here are some ideas about how this feature could work, with regard to Twitter only. Authentication -user should be able to insert her Twitter account details somewhere -this can be done in Preferences, or maybe integrated with the authentication process currently used in Web Profiles to claim a Twitter account Metadata -user location should automatically be retrieved when this feature is used -a shortened version of the SLURL should be generated and added to the status message -a Twitter hashtag like #secondlife may be automatically added to the status message but this should be optional Use -this feature is available via menu, where a new item has to be added -this feature may be also be available via a new UI button in the bottom bar, which is disabled until user associates with a Twitter account -a new floater has to be created, which shows to the user which Twitter account is being used -a text field is available where to write the custom status message -the text field is pre-filled with the shortened SLURL and automatic hashtag (if used). User should be able to remove this text from her message -a visual indicator of how many characters are available should be present, taking into account how many characters are used by SLURL and automatic hashtag (if used) -user writes her custom status message and clicks a “Send” or “Tweet this!” button to publish it Note that many Second Life are already familiar with the “Email Snapshot” feature, which is similar but more complex than what proposed here: it’s a 2-steps process, and the last floater has 3 text fields to be filled instead than one. So this new feature, as proposed here, would be consistent with the existing ones, with no complexity added. I don’t use Facebook but I suppose this model could be extended to different services. I propose to keep this discussion limited to Twitter and then adapt/apply the results elsewhere. -- Opensource Obscure http://twitter.com/oobscure - http://opensourceobscure.com/lol ___ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges

This is not something that belongs in the viewer. It could be implemented securely as user generated content using an external website and a HUD.

Re: [opensource-dev] STORM-9 - sharing location and status message to Twitter
While I'm no longer totally opposed to adding in twitter support into the client, there are allot of reasons I cannot at all support making this anything of a priority other then the absolute lowest. First, allot of users already feel that Second Life is already too tied to twitter and Facebook and similar as it is when we have widgets in our profile we cannot remove without shutting down our profiles and even THEN can be remotely activated. with Twitter being another potential link between SL and RL that many don't want, and with Twitter being openly shared with the US government and archived, I think allot of users would be really upset if we added this without allot more community feedback. Like a blog post about it. Second. there are already huds that can do what this storm issue proposes. If we are going to be adding in features that huds already do, how about some that have been requested much longer and by allot more people? Such as animation overrides, various build tools, etc.? Third, as it is we already get slammed again and again for worrying about new toys when there are major bugs and design flaws that need fixed. Fourth, depending on the implementation, if the system is or could be set to twitter automatically, I could really see someone really abusing this feature to track a boyfriend/girlfriend/fiance/roommate/spouce, etc. Make a new twitter account, quietly log in their SL account, turn this feature on, and voila: instant tracking system. I would consider worrying about stuff like this AFTER we deal with allot more of the accessibility, content creation, privacy, and new user needs and only if implementation is such that it would take a conscious effort to tweet something... > From: opensourceobsc...@gmail.com > Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2011 19:43:57 +0100 > To: opensource-dev@lists.secondlife.com > Subject: [opensource-dev] STORM-9 - sharing location and status message to > Twitter > > I just commented STORM-9, that is > "As a User, I want to share my location and a custom status with friends > on Twitter so they can follow what I’m up to in Second Life" > > Here are some ideas about how this feature could work, with regard > to Twitter only. > > Authentication > -user should be able to insert her Twitter account details somewhere > -this can be done in Preferences, or maybe integrated with the authentication > process currently used in Web Profiles to claim a Twitter account > > Metadata > -user location should automatically be retrieved when this feature is used > -a shortened version of the SLURL should be generated and added > to the status message > -a Twitter hashtag like #secondlife may be automatically added > to the status message but this should be optional > > Use > -this feature is available via menu, where a new item has to be added > -this feature may be also be available via a new UI button in the bottom bar, > which is disabled until user associates with a Twitter account > -a new floater has to be created, which shows to the user which > Twitter account is being used > -a text field is available where to write the custom status message > -the text field is pre-filled with the shortened SLURL and automatic > hashtag (if used).

Re: [opensource-dev] Snowstorm 2.6.1 with Advanced and Basic mode
I like the suggestion that the "basic" mode be called something like "tourist" or "introductory" or "beginners" mode. There's just so much stuff that people need to be able to do that it seems to be ruling out, I can't imagine anyone sticking with it for long. "Basic" implies that someone could actually use it permanently. ___ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges

I don't think separating "creator" like that is a good idea. Everyone in SL is potentially a creator, at every moment, that's what makes it cool. ___ Policies and (un)subscribe information available here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/OpenSource-Dev Please read the policies before posting to keep unmoderated posting privileges
Re: [opensource-dev] Snowstorm 2.6.1 with Advanced and Basic mode
I'm working on a blog that i hope to post within the week with really detailed feedback... but... I think there should be three modes rename the basic to beginner, the advanced to normal... and add an expert mode with even more settings (something like what firestorm is shaping up to be). or better yet just allow true skinning with the ability to add in lots more options depending on the skin you're using ... > From: secret.arg...@gmail.com > Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2011 15:58:56 -0500 > To: da5idkronf...@gmail.com > CC: opensource-dev@lists.secondlife.com > Subject: Re: [opensource-dev] Snowstorm 2.6.1 with Advanced and Basic mode > > On 2011-03-20, at 15:04, Da5id Kronfeld wrote: > > I like "tourist", with maybe (eventually 3?) modes: "tourist", "resident", > > and "creator" (or "resident-creator"). > > I don't think separating "creator" like that is a good idea.
