Hello,
is it possible to give (sell) a hierarchy of folders? Specifically, I want to sell gestures, and they are sorted in folders for categories. It would be nice if the buyer could receive the gestures with the categories intact.
EDIT: I just discovered that llGiveInventoryList has a parameter for a folder. I'll try that.
If I create an object and go to it's contents pane, it seems I can only drag a flat list of items there. If I drag a folder there, only it's contents are being copied.
Is there a way to preserve the folder structure? Of course being able to give the folder as one item would be desirable...
Thanks

OK, at least I can still have some folders with the llGiveInventoryList, but still no nested folders. Is there a way to have nested folders?

Boxes in a box?

But the boxes won't work like folders, or do they? I had the impression they need to be rezzed to get to the contents?

There is no was to give out a folder structure.
The best you can do is give out a list of items using llGiveInventoryList. They will all be in a single folder though. So I would suggest you go and have several lists of items prepared and just hand them out one after another to have them grouped within folders. |

Thanks, that is the approach I am going to use. In fact I already created a mechanism to read the folder structure from a notecard. Now I am wondering if it would be easiert to read the folder structure from embedded objects. But that is just a detail...

I posted the following JIRA issue after reading this. It's unlikely to be done before you need it, but it'd always be nice to have in future =)
