Select Reflection Probes - Disabled again after relog.
tracked
Kyle Linden
### What just happened?
I'm trying to enable the option to select reflection probes and found that option to disable itself after a relog.
### What were you doing when it happened?
Since i'm a Firestorm user, i asked in the Firestorm Preview group about this. I was told this is how LL did it and they took over the code like that.
### What were you expecting to happen instead?
I don't know if it is deliberate but i can tell you that if it is, it is beyond all logic. When i change something in a setting as an end user, i expect it to remain this way.
### Other information
Again, if this is how it is suppose to be, can you please explain to me the reasoning behind it? Thank you.

Persist "Select Reflection Probes" in Build Options
AlettaMondragon Resident
Ever since reflection probes exist in SL, the option in Build > Options > Select Reflection Probes doesn't persist between login sessions. Unlike the other options which persist, this is confusing and inconvenient as whenever you end up having to work with a reflection probe, you have to enable this again, even if only for a single click to check or change something on a probe.
If you make it so that this option persists between logins, people who usually don't want to select reflection probes don't lose anything, as they can just leave it disabled as is.
However those of us who tend to work with reflection probes more often would not have to enable this option every single time we have to right click a reflection probe.
I hope this can be implemented to make this tool more functional and useful. Thank you in advance.

I understand the rationale behind this, but I think it needs to be optional. That way, you protect the average user from confusion and disaster and also make life a lot easier for creators. The current solution is annoying.

I think the idea is that "reflection probes are special". That and they are generally made to surround an area and can be easily selectable by accident. I don't disagree with the option being disabled by default.
That said I would like to have a more sticky "select probes" option. Maybe hide it in the advanced/developer menu somewhere?

I agree with an Advanced/Developer option to edit/remove them.
I had the lovely issue of not being able to remove mine at all when I moved my build to its final location. Had to get the Parcel Admin to delete it, so it could be recreated. Thankfully, I named it from the get go "Reflection Probe" in case it needed to found and Returned.
edit/update/note of interest: The parcel admin was on "regular" Firestorm (vs Firestorm 6.6.17 (70368)) and can interact/edit it like a normal prim, just its invisible and Phantom.
