Or how about a Logout option, instead of just quit? This would facilitate easier logins for alts too. MM Advantages : 1) easier switching between alts 2) may help let us change some settings that require a 'restart' in less time, depending on when the options come into play Vote for this at : secondlife.com/vote proposal 1469. |

1) Easier switching between alts, which many people use SL can from time to time be crashy, a little leaky or simply get bogged down. Almost everybody has to relog every now and then just to improve performance. It might shave 30 seconds of switching to an ALT, but whats the point if for one reason or another your going to have to relog anyway. 2) May help change some settings which require a 'restart' (log in again) faster and with less hassle Settings which require a restart are usually graphics related and some cannot be changed on the fly. It really is simpler to save the changes, tear down the application and start it again - Especially as these changes _____________________

Changing some of them does completely reinitialize graphics -- the SL window is deleted and recreated. The only remaining settings that require a restart are "Chat uses full screen width" and "Clear cache". Neither of these force a restart; they just don't do anything until you do. |

Another reason to support the addition of a "logout" option then. |
