Object contents to resident transfer error

If you want to give someone a copy of an object that's inside another object, the client lets you drag and drop from that object's inventory to another avatar.

However, when you attempt to do so, you will always get an error message something along the lines of "The object could not be transferred." and the object does not transfer.

One of a few things could be done to clean up this bug:

- Change the transfer system to allow me to drag something out of an object's contents onto an avatar to give them a copy.
- Block the drag & drop request so it doesn't even attempt to do it (ie it changes your mouse pointer to a "no" symbol when you are hovering over an avatar while dragging).
- Report a more accurate error which explains how to solve the problem, ie "You cannot transfer object contents to another resident, please copy to your inventory first".

This bug has been around FOREVER!!!!

What I'm wondering, is why its so difficult to fix, I mean, llGiveInventory() can give an objects inventory to an avatar, so why cant avatars give an object's inventory to other avatars?
