VWR-1730: get rid of Keep/Discard on notecards/texture

https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-1730

This came up on Tuesday's UI bug triage and was bounced back for more resident feedback.

Basically:

if someone sends you a notecard/texture and you have it set to not auto-accept them you already get an Accept/Decline blue pop-up in the right top corner.

If you accept, the notecard/texture displays but there's still a Keep/Discard button set at the bottom.

The JIRA issue is about getting rid of the Keep/Discard buttons since you already had an accept/decline option before.

A reason why they should stay is:

someone sends you a notecard and you accept it (or you get a group notice with a notecard in it) and then glance over the notecard.

In most/many cases you don't need/want to keep the notecard after you're read it once, so you hit Discard and it goes into your trash can.

With Keep/Discard gone, after reading it you'd have to close it, open your inventory, find the notecard, delete it and close inventory which is a rather involved process.

---

They wanted more community feedback to go one way or the other, so if you want Keep/Discard gone, just vote for it. If you hate the idea, please leave a comment instead since there's no such thing as an "I don't want this" vote :p.

I vote for keeping the discard button, for the very reason you mention. I often read them and after reading them, I no longer need them. It saves me from having to dig through my inventory to find the card just to delete it. Same often or not with pictures. I don't see having that button being a hardship on anyone. So why remove it?

That button allows me to read notecards and then decide whether I want to keep them or not. I find that highly useful.

Keep it.

I only posted here to give it some more exposure before it comes up again at the triage next week :).

If you feel one way or the other, it's better to either vote if you agree, or leave a comment on the JIRA issue if you don't so they can hear from both sides.
