Recent viewers are incorporating code to try enforce such game like restrictions. Viewers for opensimulator must stay compatible and fully functional with inventories that do, for example, have folders with same name and or type, anywhere on the inventory tree. Viewers should validate the integrity of the folders tree, namely parent/child relations, and verify lost Llnks.
