Still more on what must be a different Autoreturn bug

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for looking into this matter an for your reply here
/139/d7/128952/1.html

However, if your records show that the returned prims were set to the Koni WorX group than this must represents a different Autoreturn issue because I can assure you that the edit interface was set to the Mall Shops group and set to share with the group. It is also strange that there were multiple return times approximately 1 hour apart. These same events have happened in the past to me (various times over the past 6 months or so) and each night since I sent the information to you 2 nights ago. One instance returned half of my store structure (that had been placed there months ago). I placed that back into position last night directly from my inventory and it is still there now.

Clearly (at least to me) there is something strange going on. It has only gotten worse this past week. I've replaced multiple parts of my store every night this past 5 days. Each time being sure to set the prims to the Mall Shops group, only to have them returned to me sometime later that night.


Hi Andrew, I hope you see this.

Regarding the recently placed items that were returned, I found that the original prims that I shift dragged from changed groups to my active group in my title. These were the prims that were being returned to me for the most part.

Regarding the return of half the store structure (which had been there for months) I did shift drag a duplicate of that structure 3 days prior to its return. The reasons for the delay in its return or the delay in items that were returned 2 or 3 hours after being rezzed is still unclear.

I have a log of the return of the half structure in the form of an emil on my home puter. I will pass that to you later today along with anyother information I can muster on that returned item.

I went through every prim's group setting last night while replacing the prims returned the night before and nothing was returned,... yet (crosses avies fingers).

Thanks a bunch for you attention.

If the user interface shows Mall Shops but the objects are coming out KoniWorX then there is some other bug or maybe confusing tools. Perhaps I should hang out and watch you do the opearation while tailing the logs. If I get a chance, and you're online I'll suggest it. At the moment I'm trying to get three fixes for annoying bugs tested and merged into next week's release. Code-freeze happening sometime this morning, so I'm going to focus on those.

Could you please double-check the group of the objects you place in Grizedale? The next time you have something returned that you're SURE was Mall Shops send me the timestamp of the return event and I'll try to trace it back in the logs to where the group setting changed.

If this does happen after a double-check I'll be asking detailed questions about how exactly you created the objects and changed their group. Such as, what was your own 'active' group at the time? Were these pulled from inventory, rezzed fresh, or copied from existing world items? How exactly did you set the group of the objects? How did you 'double check' the group? Did you slam the group of the objects one at a time, or did you do it to a multiple selection? If multiple, how many objects were in the selection? and approximately how many prims total?

Old content getting returned in this context is very odd. I can only speculate that the group setting of that stuff somehow changed. What is the timestamp of that event?

KittyKatt, thanks for your update.

Ok, so I guess sliding duplicates pick up the avatar's current group. I wonder if that is the way it should be. I can see arguments for both modes.
