Problem with 'New' Clothing Items

In the past my practice was to create one New Shirt, set the sliders how I wanted , then select my textures and use Save As one by one to create my line of Tee Shirts. But I found these had a tendency to get their permissions warped sometimes to what I had not set them at originally. I then adopted the practice of making each New Shirt separately, sliders, texture and all, using the Save button and Renaming them in Inventory, setting properties.

But now -
Is anyone else having this problem , since 1.5.5 patch ? –

I go into Appearance, to Make a New Shirt (can be any piece of clothing)

I pick my texture, adjust the sliders, and SAVE.

I then rename the New Shirt in Inventory to Black_Tee, then set the properties as - yes Mod, no copy, yes Sell or Transfer.

I then take off this item and start over for my next one.

If I then decide I want to make the Black_Tee have long sleeves, I Wear it again. I notice that the name at the top in Appearance mode is back to New Shirt, I make my changes, and Save -
*Poof Black_Tee is gone replaced by New Shirt in Inventory.

This will also happen if I give Black_Tee to a friend – they go in to mod it – same thing happens – it becomes New Shirt in appearance and if they Save, not use Save As, Black_Tee *Poofs and they have New Shirt.

If you use Save As and replace New New Shirt with Black_Tee you can get the name back again.

I think this happened when they were trying to fix permissions on things mod’ed while wearing them ? I seem to have noticed it since 1.5.5. Also it does not happen to clothing made prior to 1.5.5.


Is anyone else seeing this ? I did do a bug report. I am afraid to make any more clothing right now.

I've noticed this too with the new items I've made since the update. I guess the only thing to do is make sure to double check yourself each time you make a shirt. :(

Thanks for posting this. I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone here how potentially dangerous this new bug could be. Until this is addressed and fixed, I doubt I will be creating any new clothing either.

I hate to say it, but I'm finally starting to lose my patience for all these bugs. I have enormous respect for LL and all they have accomplished, but I can only take so much. I lost a fortune with all the permisions bugs in the last few weeks. Now the potential for disappearing items is very close to being the last straw. If they don't take care of this right away, I predict dark times ahead for SL. I hope I'm wrong.

Actually this happened around the 1.5 patch..

If you change anything about the clothing item in appearance mode..there is a chance the name will dissappear and revert to new shirt..etc.. The no creator bug is gone from what i can tell.

Bug report submitted... Reply.." We are aware of this problem and will work to resolve it as soon as possible."
