1.7 Bugs I've Found

Some of these I'm sure are repeats but frankly I'm too annoyed by the forums to view all the posts. And yes I'm going to double post in the Hotline to Lindens, so sue me.

1. When I copy an item of mine that is for sale, using the shift trick, the old original item will no longer show for sale, and the copy will show for sale. (it used to be that both would be for sale, and personally that was preferable for me - or keep original for sale and new one not, the way it is now just doesn't make sense.)

2. I can no longer tab through the edit options, for example if I want to resize and rotate, an item I used to type in the size numbers and then tab through the other options in the edit window and then type in the rotate number etc., now when i tab it flips me out of the edit window and into the main screen.

3. I can no longer zoom in on items for pictures, the cam keeps resetting. I think I've seen this mentioned before.

4. LAG!!!! My server status script has said "OMG this server BLOWS" ever since the update, no new neighors or lag causing items, it's simply the update that has done this to the sim where I reside - Shamrock. There are usually only 1-3 people in the sim.

5. Textures are still not quite right - ESPECIALLY in VENDORS, you can see the first item but once you try to flip to the next it takes forever for that one to show up, this happens even with my own textures, which i've uploaded and viewed many man times.

6. I have found that I can't upload photos or textures, that are my own, to my computer. It looks like it's doing it but the photo or texture never makes it to my computer anywhere. I've even searched to see if it went somewhere other than where I directed it , it hasn't , it just never makes it.

This one is simply caused by the major change in the way sims do their thing. Before 1.7, the "SimFPS" metric tended to be what people used to dtermine the overall performance of a sim (to varying degrees of success, but that's another thread entirely). Sims would try to run as many "frames" as they possibly could in a second... sometimes thousands.

Now in 1.7, sims try to stick with 45 frames per second... all they really need to do anyway. The extra frames before were useless. A sim with a SimFPS of 45 is doing great... any less, and it's ailing. The script you're using is still going by the old system, though, and by the old system, a SimFPS of 45 was an indication that the sim was barely keeping up.

So what I'm saying is that your script's interpretation of the statistics is outdated... don't listen to it.

LOL - Iwas on a sim recently and its fps was 1!
That blows, whatever system of measurement is used!

I'm having this same problem. Since 1.7 I haven't been able to get images from SL to my computer, making it difficult to fiddle with textures I own already. As far as I can tell it doesn't save at all, it just says that it's receiving.

Ditto and it's getting VERY annoying! I have quite an extensive texture inventory, which the lindens may curse, however a great deal of them are minor alterations of a 'main' texture, that I have DL'd out of SL to modify and bring back in slightly different. i.e. added a window sill, or a color overlay that needed to be a smidge more subtle than the in world overlay, etc. All of these textures are owned by me, most were made by me, and all have full perms set on them, duh! I wouldn't be able to DL them if they didn't right?

When oh When is this going to be fixed!?

The texture upload is going to the Second Life folder in Programs, and is called "untitled," which means it will overwrite previous uploads. At least it's there - well, I hope that gets fixed soon as it's necessary.

I logged on last week to check out 1.7, and I had received an invite to a group. When I clicked accept, I got the message:

"Trial Users are not allowed to join groups"

Urm... what?

I'm a Lifer from way back in 2003... how can I be considered a "Trial User"?

Has any other Lifers had this problem in 1.7? I didn't have this problem back in previous builds.

Bye bye for now,
Alexis

I've found that if you don't have music playing, and change something in your preferences, it starts your music for you, but the play button is still clickable, which stops the music.. then if you click Stop, then Play again, it doesn't work anymore.

GOOD LORD I haven't seen that inworld, but uh... there used to be an old "trial" folder in the SecondLife one containing related contents, including that kinda text.

What's your repro for this, Alexis? I wanna be a trial user too!

Uhm... don't log in for a month or so and upgrade to 1.7? That's what I did.

Bye bye for now,
Alexis
