Re: [Opensim-users] Export Permissions...

2015-01-10 Thread Butch Arnold

Hello Melanie,

I believe the default "Plywood" texture used on a default box does not 
have the correct permissions.


I was able to take a texture which I created and added an "Export" 
permission to and apply it to this box on all sides.. once I did this, I 
was able to then set the "Export" checkbox on the box.


It seems that I can set the export permission on the following from 
inventory but I first must "Set" both copy/mod perms:

 - Body parts - eyes, hair, skin, shapes
 - calling cards
 - clothing
 - I was unable to check gestures as I only have one in my inventory 
and it is not full perm so I cannot set to copy thus the export box 
remains shaded.

 - Landmarks appear to be "Export" enabled by default.
 - Notecards
 - Objects as long as they have "Export" enabled textures (Note: 
Opensim default textures appear not to have export permissions on by 
default and these cannot be changed using the viewer)

 - Textures
 - Photos
 - Scripts
 - I was unable to check sounds as I have only 1 in my inventory and it 
is not full perm, hence the export box stays shaded

 - Textures

I used blender and created a basic mesh with no texture and uploaded but 
I was not able to set the export box as it remained shaded.


Summary:
It appears as long as you can set copy/mod perms on your item and all 
textures then the export box becomes enabled and you can check it or not.

 - I was unable to test sounds or gestures
 - It appears we cannot set the export perm on a basic .dae model 
without texture
 - It appears that "ALL" default OpenSim items cannot be set to allow 
export and if anything is using any of the default textures it cannot be 
set to export.


 - I have not yet tested if these "Export" permissions actually work, 
but I was able to use the "Export" check box in each of these cases 
indicated above.


Thanks,
Butch

Hello Melanie,

Thank you for the info on this feature.
Based on what I had read and heard from others, I incorrectly reported 
in an interview today that this feature was not fully implemented and 
did not work as expected.
My apologies for that errant report - I have since contacted the 
person (Maria at Hypergrid Business) and pasted them what you have put 
to the mailing list.


I have tried to test this feature based on the information you've 
provided and have not been able to make this work as you've indicated.
I am using opensim code based on r/25628 - 
bda8f2a2c1d702adc9e61869195a4dbcd3c6751f dated 12/30/2014 and the 
Singularity viewer version 1.8.6 (6313) Jan  7 2015 06:04:40 
(Singularity Alpha).


Using the settings you have provided I have added the following to my 
opensim.ini file:

[SimulatorFeatures]
ExportSupported=true

And I am unable to make this work.
Steps...
- I created a simple box and renamed it
- I took this box back to inventory
- Out of curiosity, I looked to see what was shown when trying to set 
export perms from inventory (I know you said it wouldn't work, but I 
was curious anyway)
- While box was still in inventory it showed the export box as "Not 
available" or greyed out as expected since you said it wouldn't work.

- I pulled the box from my inventory and rezzed it on the ground.
- I went into edit mode and it was still showing the export box as 
unavailable (see attached screenshot).


Next Test...
 - I went back into inventory and found a shirt I had made 
previously... right clicked... chose properties
 - I can now see the export box as empty, but able to be checked.. 
I've checked the box and it has stayed checked.
 - I have not yet tried to see if it would actually allow export as I 
was simply wanting to test the export checkbox function.


Maybe it is now broken in core?
Maybe it is not correctly implemented in my viewer?

I think this would be a very useful feature to be completed for 
opensim and think it could help make the content creators of our 
community feel more comfortable about hyper grid mode.
If the content creator can choose "NOT" to allow export and can expect 
this choice to be honored by the simulator it could go a long way at 
improving the sense of security our community has with OpenSim at the 
moment.
One of the hardest things I've personally had to deal with as a grid 
operator/manager is the users not feeling confident their objects 
cannot be exported if they choose not to allow it.
We have many content creators on 3rd Rock Grid which do not want to 
allow their creations to be taken out of our grid and they were very 
much against our grid converting to hyper grid mode because of their 
fears.
If we could provide them with this feature it would take away these 
fears.

Not quite true. Being that someone, I can say that with authority. :)

Server support exists for export permissions for all simple items
and all prims rezzed in world.

This means, you can set the export permission on things like
clothing in your inventory, but you can not set the export
permission for prims there. Prims have to be rezzed, the permission
set and then taken back.

Also, export permission on simple objects can not be changed in prim
inventory, only in user inventory.

Within these restrictions, it works. Only recent Singularity has the
code for this. In OpenSim, support needs to be announced to the
viewer by using sim features.

under [SimulatorFeatures], set ExportSupported=true

Sorry there is no real documentation on the feature yet but these
steps should make it work for you.

I checked the IRC logs - it was AliciaRaven who said she might work on 
it when she wasn't so busy. Perhaps she or Diva or someone will, as 
making only two commits to Core in the past 8+ months corroborates what 
you said about being busy, which doesn't bode well for you getting to 
complete this feature, yourself, anytime soon.

Re: [Opensim-users] Export Permissions...

2015-01-10 Thread BoneZ
After looking back through the logs of git.. it appears this project was 
started by Melanie?

Does anyone know of the current status of the project?
Has it been abandoned? or simply put off for another time?

My opinion is that core should not contain started, or half finished 
projects/features.

I don't feel anything should be added to core that doesn't function.

I think Core should contain only working/working with bugs type of 
features, this way one doesn't waste alot of time trying to get 
something to work which appears to be implemented when it has not been 
completed.
I've wasted many hours searching for how to implement this because my 
findings seem to indicate it was a working feature of opensim.


I think a better place for unfinished, non working features should be on 
a separate branch and only merged when it works or works with bugs and 
documented as such.
