Every now and then you come across little things in SL that kinda bother you that aren’t there or should be different. Over the past few weeks I’ve started writing some of these down. Below is the list I’ve come up with.

Now I say “little” because I don’t know how difficult these things would actualy be to implement. To me they don’t seem like they’d be really huge, but I could be wrong. So onward!

1) Inventory, mainly in Object’s Content’s/Inventory. Currently to Reset or Recompile a script you can open the scripting window and do it that way, or Reset/Recompile all in selection via the Tools menu at the top. I was thinking it would be nice if you could Right-Click a Script and from the context menu that pops up Reset/Recompile the script (or multiple scripts if selected) from that menu.

2) Preferences -> General -> Show HUD in Snapshots. If selected HUDs would automaticly be hidden during a snapshot then show again emedietly after, if disabled HUDs would act as they do now. Why? I’m constantly taking snapshots, I have a HUD, I don’t want the HUD in the snapshot but I don’t always have time to go all the way up to View then all the way down to “Show HUDs” then take the snapshot. Sometimes you have one second for an awesome snapshot and you don’t want your HUD in there. Plus I also forget to manualy disable them for snapshots even when I do have time. This is somewhat solved in 1.11 and doesn’t apply so much anymore.
3) Preferences -> General -> Select Folder for Snapshots to save to for Snapshot To Disk. I’ve wanted this for a long long long time. It’s annoying to have to pick the same folder, every time, after startup. I’ve created a folder specificly for SL snapshots, so it’d be easier if SL just automaticly slapped them in there for me.

4) Being able to hide “Me” and “Home” map keys on World Map. This is just something that bugs me, you can hide every other map icon on the map, but not Home and not Me, why? It sucks for when you want to take a snapshot of the world map and theres your big ass home icon and me icon sitting there.

5) Cut in Inventory. We have Copy, we have Paste, why no Cut? Sure I can drag stuff around, but that goes alot slower than just using Cut would. Cut is a basic functionality of the whole kinda copy and paste system. Why are such basic things so hard to implement in SL?

6) Being able to set your landing point and teleport in point on your land is great. The problem is though, I have my teleport thing set to “none”, so no landing point and no free-range teleporting on my land, this is great, except it also applies to ME, the parcel owner. So constantly instead of being teleported to anywhere on my own parcel, I’m teleported to the edge of it, just as anyone else would be. It’d be nice if I could somehow say “Hey, I’m the owner, let me go wherever I want on my own land, but anyone else gets kicked to the edge.” Maybe a check box for “Don’t Apply To Owner”, or default behavior?

Thats it for now. I’ll probably have more at some point! I also have a growing list of Chat Features and changes that I’d like to see, I’ll post those soon.
