What worries me more is from what I remember of your thread on your inventry problems, it was 'corrupted inv items ON THE ASSET SERVER, and clearing cache on any viewer wont do squat to fix the damn asset server.Įither the LL Support Monkey who contacted you was some tech illiterate call centre staff reading from an out of date tech-support knowledge base entry the advice is wrong, or. The LL Virtual Inferiority Viewer doesn't have any of this, thats why we use TPV's. In FS, you can 'clear inventory cache' to fix CLIENT SIDE inventory problems, in Catznip, you 'clear viewer history' after unticking the non inventory related history options. The 'cache' contains different things, textures & downloaded meshes (for rendering other peoples clothes etc) in one section, client side inventory lists in another, and viewer history, where you tp'd for the tp histoy tab and all that in another section, and so on. Yeah, well, its LL Support, they always say "You have to use the LL Virtual Inferiority Viewer, nothing else will do!"Īs for clearing 'inventory cache', this is a classic example why smart people use TPV's for that richer flavour and a better SL. Meanwhile I will go do some real life stuff.
#SL CACHE VIEWER WALKTHROUGH INSTALL#
So do I need to manually go in and clear my cache through the Windows Explorer like you would do with a clean install in FS? Imma thinking maybe yes. Searching Google and knowledge base gives me no answers for the Linden viewer, only for Firestorm even when I type in Linden Viewer LOL. And I do, just not in the official viewer. The support note didn't explain HOW or which cache to clear since of course I am OLD and should "know how". I didn't see any way in there to clear my inventory cache like in Firestorm. I went into preferences and cleared my viewer cache. Log out and in again in Debug1 or 2 (I am in 2 ^^) and stay there for 20 minutes. It said I needed to log in with the Linden Viewer, clear cache. I got a note back from support just now about the corrupted inventory files (another post). Not a big deal, but that is the only thing that I actually knew was bad. I did go and check on a corrupted texture that I found the other day and it was working again.
Will stand around for awhile AGAIN just to make sureīut what can be done is apparently done and maybe a few things came back. So far I am not seeing any obvious changes in my inventory so it either worked or didn't I guess.
The olden days of waiting for your inventory to reload are gone. I am NOT sure what I am looking to happen though. I used the "clear cache" button but it didn't seem to clear my cache so I JUST (you weren't fast enough LOL) went in an deleted it all manually in theory causing it to rebuild. If you want to clean out the cache folder manually, just copy the path from the window where you cleared your cache, and paste the path in the address line in Windows Explorer. In the official viewer Clear Cache will delete that file as well. Probably Firestorm has a button to delete just the inv.gz file from the regular cache location. I never heard of a special inventory cache.
