-Inventory was supposed somewhat flexible, more close to what we see in most filesystems
+From 2022 viewers have code designed to validate whether the inventory structure is properly set up and have facilities to warn users if there are problems with their inventory.
-Sadly viewers drift into game like inventories, expecting more rigid structure and rigid use rather that just optional "preferred"
-While some of this changes are acceptable, others are not, since will break on older opensimulator versions and worse will break with inventory backup files.
-Recent viewers are merging code do try enforce such ame like restrictions. Most of this is just unacceptable.
+However, Opensimulator until 2015 used folder types that where different from the ones expected by viewers, so Region and Grid owners should pay attention to some cases where viewer side restrictions are being validated:
-Viewers for opensimulator must stay compatible and full functional with inventories that do, for example, have folders with same name and or type, anywhere on the inventory tree.<br><br>
+* My Inventory or Inventory: should be type 8 and each user must have only one. (type 9 was used on older versions)
+* My Suitcase or Suitcase: is optional. If present, should be type 100 and each user must have only one. (type 8 or 9 was used on older versions)
-Viewers should validate the integrity of the folders tree, namely parent/child relations, and verify lost Links.<br>
