Checkpoint facility
Mars Tamale
When your viewer crashes (which seems very common these days especially when teleporting) all attachments revert back to a state when attached or logged in (if attached when logged out). This is a pain for upgrades etc as you may have paid for them & the upgrade is lost.
An Avatar menu item to checkpoint attachments (i.e. saving script states, attachment positional information etc) would be most useful saving the need to log out & back in.
What would, for me (scripter), be even more useful is to allow this through a LSL function (with the obvious ownership checks etc). So an upgrader which the customer has rezzed checkpoints having upgraded the scripts etc.
Log In

Changes made to attachments are saved on detach, or on successful logout. Therefore a simple work-around to the issue is to detach the item after making changes, wait a few seconds, reattach.
I've been doing this for the last 15+ years and it totally "solves" the problem you describe.
