[Opensim-users] Bulk Import Textures for Global Use

[Karen Palen]

Diva has set up her distro to accept a simple IAR file in the bin directory. It automatically loads every time the sim is booted.

That certainly seems to be the preferred way to add large amounts of content to the user library.

I haven't looked, but I would assume that the process of adding this to the trunk is not particularly difficult.
