[Opensim-dev] Inventory Migration

Wed Mar 2 13:27:58 UTC 2011

I've used SI as well, with better luck than Imprudence.  The export in
Imprudence works exactly as advertised but rarely meets my needs.  It won't
export textures if you aren't the creator, sculpt textures even if you ARE
the creator, and doesn't get anything inside the prim.  So, if you just need
to export the simple prim shapes and linksets it seems to work most of the
time.  If you want the textures, scripts, items inside a prim, or sculpts..
Imprudence won't work, in my experience.  Imprudence does export avatar
shapes, but not clothing items, too.

It's always pretty tedious no matter what tool I've used, but in my
experience, Second Inventory or whatever they are called now is your best
bet.  Good luck!
