client side backup utility

backup inventory locally. Specifically scripts and notes. While I know we can copy/paste out of the client ... perhaps I'm lazy - i just find that completely tedious and troublesome.

I would LOVE a backup feature that would save my scripts and notes to .lsl and .txt files in one big export to a directory I specify.

Yeah, I suggested that back in 1.0 ... And still would love to see it... I endorse this. yes.

LSL and TXT batch export would be a great "first step" toward local backup capability.

Excellent!

Guys... the only thing your inventory does is store the location of the item on the dataserver! (Ie shape, contents...) so backing up stuff is might be a little harder then it seems. However it would be nice!

I endorse this idea/feature.

To extend Maxx's idea, It'd be great if we could export a linked object to XML.

I gave this example a while ago:

<object uuid="69c6a19d-305b-18db-b011-935e90f59ef4">

<prim type="sphere" index=2>

<prim type="sphere" index=3>

</object>

Of course, initially this could only be possible for objects we created, to ensure that we don't use such a system to re-build another person's object.

I don't even expect an importer. We can import things ourselves now using a notecard and llSetPrimitiveParams()

..but this would mean that my IPR would potentialy end up held, in some form, on your home PC - without my permission. If Linden are serious about allowing us IPR on the stuff we create, then surely they couldnt allow this?

Just a thought.

I'll bring you fresh beignets and coffee!

PUUUHHLLEEEAASSEEEEEEEEEE!

Does tha cache count?
