I have some serious malfunctions with trying to edit items since downloading the newer viewer. If I just make edits to shape/size I'm ok, but oh no I cannot click the texture window to change the texture for the object or my viewer locks up for almost a minute each time. This is insane for me, and I cannot deal with this at all.

Is there something that I need to change in order to correct this???????

It maybe badly hosted textures, and or, your inventory still loading.

Try clearing cache (preferences, network, clear cache button) logout and relog.

Which viewer, the regular Release or the test Release Candidate?

I've seen a number of reports of unacceptable delay when opening the texture window.

The current Release client from LL does this a LOT. It seems worse with the Mac version than the Windows version. On my Mac, the delay can last for 2 min or more, every time I open the texture picker window. It's like the entire asset inventory is getting re-indexed every time you try to open that texture picker.

One work-around is to leave the Picker window open. But there are a lot of times when you need to click the "select" button to lock in a texture choice, and that closes the window.

The only real fix will be to wait for LL to fix it in a future client or server update. But I am relatively certain the issue is on the asset server's side, and not the client itself.

I find this infuriating too, though I'm sure having 23K items in my inventory doesn't help. I have begun boxing superceded builds together to reduce it a bit.

I try to remember to abort a re-texture of something when I first log in, starting up the 25yr inventory load.

Incedentaly, clearing cache will actually make it worse, as you will have to re-load the inventory again when you re-log.
