After dealing with trying to set perms AFTER making a indepth rezzing project and the headaches that insue, I have come up with a MUCH needed feature.
RECURSIVE perms setting on prims.
This means, a checkbox in a prims property panel that sets the permissions on everything in its inventory, no matter how deep the tree of scripts and objects go.
Lets face it, some projects its not nice or even fun to set perms on a tree 4 to5 or more levels deep of rezzing or what not type things that you may wish to hand out copy/mod.
and/or to this suggestion
A nice dir tree on objects in your inventory.
In other words. Treat objects that have components inside them as directories. For easy access to their contents without the need to rez them in world.
(one example that comes to mind is weapons type objects that have auto die bullets. hard to edit a bullet or any other self killing object if you have to rez it in world).
