I’m not sure I see the advantage of multiple regions in one oar file. Say I have a 3x3 set of regions saved in a backup oar file. I might want to restore one. That necessitates new command line parameters for selection, etc. To handle multiple regions, another approach is to push the grouping

There are two big advantages. First, sometimes a group of regions comprises a logical, indivisible unit. E.g., RPG groups often create their world using many regions. Saving and loading their data in a single file is far more convenient than having to load each OAR separately. This is my

I suppose some people will find this useful, but it's not something that is required for multi-region OARs so I won't implement it. Of course, you're welcome to add this feature yourself :) On Fri, Jul 20, 2012 at 6:40 PM, Robert L martin [via opensim-dev]

That's an interesting idea. I'm wondering whether this would be slower, however, since OpenSim would have to untar all the data twice: once in the outer OAR, and again in the inner OARs. It might also take twice the RAM, depending on how the untar library works. -- View this message in context:

Robert, I feel that load and save of multiple files simultaneously would be too fragile. And as Oren said, it ends up wasting a lot of space and some processing time for data that is held in common between regions (e.g. assets). I like this proposal, Oren. I should have put regions in
