The eye-dropper texture nicker is in a different scope as it isnt a high-priority bug.


For real? I do hope LL sees it differently. You don't think the ability to pinch any texture regardless of permissions isn't high priority?

The Print Scrn key on your keyboard is about as bad. All it takes is camera alingment and turning off all atmosphere effects.
And poof you have the texture on your computer. Or heck even the in-world camera can do it. :rolleyes:
Not like they can stop the print screen though.

:Addition:
Then again I remember one software application that scrambled the screen when the Print Scrn was pressed. hmm :)

I'm not sure that trick would work well with the more complicated textures... not every texture is meant to be pasted on flat, cubical surface. :\

No it wouldn't for custom textures. At least not easily. Someone can still take and build from it though.
I've had a few of mine "taken" that way but oh well. :rolleyes:

The method bypasses any offsets, repeats or what kind of prim its applied to, along with any permissions on the texture or the item itself. Its a real problem.

Latest update, Robin Linden replied to my "Answers" post. The post has been forwarded to a dev for investigation. Thing is my post does not disclose the details of the method so I hope they read the Bug Report I sent.
