need to be improved

I've a large amount of content that I'd like to have access to on my alt. Things like clothes, like vehicles and the sort. Having to rebuy these items can be costly, especially if I like to create different accounts for personas and the sort. We could solve this by allowing users to designate up to two (given the current 3 accounts/user restriction if memory serves) accounts to have access to a 'master' inventory, much like how the SL Library is accessible. That being said, I can hear the lamentations of creators and the sort already, though let me posit this: To which percent of your sales are from people making alts? I doubt it's very many. And as for the legal and other concerns, I posit this: require residents report alts to Linden Lab, and make that a pre-requisite for being able to share inventory, along with having to agree that this service is for only the use of one legal person, and providing access to inventory to another person can be grounds for both accounts to be banned. I'm even for the idea of making this a premium feature. Furthermore, I'd suggest that 2FA be a prerequisite for alts accessing inventory unless access is in a NC/NM/NT configuration on 'guests'.

Show land impact in the object properties from inventory view. Prevents rezzing each furniture piece to see what it's land impact is.

It doesn't take long in SL for 1 type of inventory item to grow in quantity beyond any other. And, not much longer than that for the majority of them to become utterly obsolete. I'm referring to Landmarks. To address the ongoing growth of obsolete Landmarks all across all of our inventories, I propose the idea of dynamically re-pointable landmarks. The following are the basic rules for how it would work: Every user would have 6 separate personal LM entries that they can add to their viewer, numbered 1 to 6. A user can enter any SLURL into any of the 6 positions, and any Landmarks created by that user that he associates with one of his/her 6 entry positions will cause those LMs and copies of them to always lead to that corresponding SURL entry. At any time, the creator can update or change any of his 6 SLURL entries in his viewer, and all previously provided associated Landmarks and all copies will auto-redirect to the new corresponding latest entry based on the creator's current SURL entry for the same entry position in his viewer list. This same LM system should also function within MP listings, for those sellers who want to allow customers to view their product outside the MP, in their in-grid store.

Outfits. At present, when an outfit is saved in an Inventory, a new Outfit Folder is created, which contains a series of shortcut links from each worn piece of clothing, "copied" from the original clothing located elsewhere in the inventory. However, all these shortcut links also count as extra "things" in the inventory and increases the inventory size. Some longer term users of Second Life have massive inventories exceeding half a million items in them, mainly caused by large numbers of saved outfits. And that causes all kinds of difficulties and problems. Could a different method of saving outfits be created which doesn't further increase already bloated inventories? A proposal. Instead of saving Outfits with lots of individual shortcut links, save the Outfit as a folder containing one single notecard, which I'll call an "Outfit Card". The "Outfit Card" would basically be a notecard containing all of the individual UUIDs of all the clothing and avatar components worn at the time the outfit was saved. The "Outfit Card" would have each outfit components name and it's UUID listed. so the owner knows what is what and where it's "original" is to be found. The "Outfit Card" itself would be editable by it's owner, the list of UUIDs contents would be editable by their owners to allow the copy/paste addition (or removal) of individual clothing/avatar component UUIDs when the owner's tastes changes. The sharing of "Outfit Cards" would of course have to be prohibited, to prevent content piracy and theft. Wearing the Outfit folder containing the "Outfit Card" would essentially behave as a "Replace Outfit" action, your avatar would then automatically wear the same exact outfit as worn when the new Outfit was saved (or last edited). So new Outfits would amount to one "Outfit Card" inside an Outfit Folder. That's all. No more shortcut links adding to an already bloated inventory total.

The recent addition which allowed users to add pictures to Inventory items was a game changer for many of us looking to organize ourselves. However, there's another big problem that makes invetory management difficult: the inability to "tag" items with searchable attributes. It would be incredible if there was a menu similar to the one we use to add pictures which let us tag items and folders with searchable attributes. For example, if I had a shirt called "Georgia Tank - Salmon", I could tag it with more useful info that I might think of when searching for that item later, like "pink, tanktop, shirt, midriff, legacy". Creators have all sorts of off the wall naming conventions that make it hard to find that one particular pair of black jeans when you're looking for them. Tagging would let us label items with terms that make sense to us, in our own languages, and find what we need faster.

Now that outfits can have subfolders created by user and the number of oi outfits has grown exponentially please add filter to search for outfits as a filter. I have accidentally placed outfits into folders that are not THE outfit folder, I can't easily find these. Also if you create a new folder in Outfits and accidentally move it you cannot put it back. please fix these things or add them.

So now that we have regained the ability to add sub-folders to the outfits INVENTORY folder could we please have this in the appearance/outfits tab too? Currently it remains unaffected by this change and I think it would be much more useful to have sub-folders here.

Hear me out. If cowork can organise years and years of harddrive mess, identify and remove duplicate items, then there MUST be a way to do it for inventory items. Seriously, I would pay real money to have a LL approved and trained ai get in there and do some heavy cleaning. Think of all the storage space you could save, LL. And all the user time saved when people can find their stuff. If it was a LL initiated tool, it would be able to know things not necessarily available to users - like object creator without having to rez it first. It could know categories of things and what percentage of users delete a freebie set from 2008. If the helper ai was presented as another avatar you could talk to, it could just ask intelligent questions like, do you want all the freebies you gathered at the newbies hubs? If not easy clean, or simply moving it all into a "pre trash" folder so the user can have a look at it before the final chuck. And have it read all the notecards, figure out if there is anything important, if so categorize and if not pre or trash it. The ai could ask, you have ten years with of grid affairs notecards those are all in the past, keep and organise or delete? If this could all happen in a private space where the ai could assist with the identification and outcome for the 1000 things called object in your inventory by doing a quick rez, you give it the thumbs down, gone. Thumbs up initiated a rename where possible and it's pushed into the new organisation structure. The user would have feedback in the proposed organisation so that they can actually figure out what is what after. This last thing would require user interactions but if the ai is presented as an Avi it amounts to body doubling and more people might get further in the process than they do now 'just trying to get organised ' EVEN just some fundamental help could help, this could be billed as a one off service, or perhaps a once per year included at the highest tier. I hope this doesn't seem too far out there, because currently available tech COULD do this, it would just need the right access and implementation.

With massive inventories in the >> 80k items range, especially for older residents, there are a lot of folders that are basically stuff a resident does not use frequently. Stuff you would move to the attic in RL. This slows down searching and finding items and causes UX issues when the inventory UI slows to crawl or search is super slow. Examples include pristine copies of items only kept as backup in case the active item breaks down. Legacy stuff that fell out of fashion, but is too good to simply delete. Tons of other things. It would be useful to mark such folders with some "attic" or "archived" category to get them out of the way. Those items should not show up in the default inventory list, should not be found by the default search and should be treated as basically non existant unless explicitly requested. They should not be wearable or attacheable in that state. Those attic / archived items should be de-prioritized for inventory loading. The inventory could be considered fully loaded for all important purposes even with all archived items still missing. This would speed up initial avatar loading in some cases. The items should also not simply be display filtered but put in an entirely different structure (maybe extra tab in the UI) to have performance gains in search and browsing. A bit like those infinite chests in games, where all the loot gets put thats not useful but still worthy of keeping.
