Can't make a new folder?

Is it just me, or is this a bug?

If you make a new folder, then rename it to ANYTHING, it disappears?

Edit: If you search your inventory for the name of the folder it'll show up.


Edit: Ack! Also dragging an item from you inventory causes there to be an empty spot. And dragging a full permission item into another folder causes it to be gone from the first folder completely. What have you Lindens done!?

Edit: And inventory right click copy and paste doesn't work. GJ Lindens!

Hmmm it is not just you. I also get the vanishing folder.

Same with the other results you are coming up with.

I just bug reported them. :)

Yes, folder creation seems to be acting odd. I noticed if I deselect "folders by name" in the sort tab, and then click back and forth between sort by name and date, and then close and open my inventory a few times, then the newly created folder appears!

Trouble is when I rename it, the folder disappears again and then I have to repeat my magic ritual to get it back! :D

I think it's a bug!

The "new / renamed folders disappear until inventory list is resorted" bug is now an acknowledged problem.

It hasn't been fixed yet in the preview release, though, so no promise that it will be fixed next Wednesday.

On the plus side, now I kow the workaround (re-sorting or opening/closing the inventory), so at least I'm not creating dozens of folders hoping one of them will appear ;)

I haven't seen an active open beta test grid for several days now. Have you?

----

addenda - I see it now in Aditi. I guess I missed the announcement about it and which grid it is in.

Hmm, the release is dated 9-22, but I am wearing something I just bought last night, the 23rd.

Dragging an item from one folder to another has always moved it, that hasn't changed. Copy/paste was broken but is fixed in the latest optional update.

They announced this morning on the blog that a new beta version was up.

When you first log into the preview, your inventory is transferred from the Main Grid, so you have everything you had at that time (except the same amount of L$).
