[Opensim-users] Your Viewer and why?

[Gudule Lapointe]

(the following is not server-related, but as the question appeared in the discussion, I think some will appreciate the solution)

Just found by chance the fix for the 6 error messages of Imprudence on Mac: a couple of file names used for day cycles are url-encoded. Programs expect A-12PM.xml and doesn't find the existing A%2D12PM.xml file.

These files are located in 
	Imprudence 1.3.2.app/Contents/Resources/app_settings/windlight/skies
renaming (or, safer, copying) them with a dash instead of %2D makes the trick.

This can be done with Terminal or by displaying packet content. I'll answer more precise question by mail, if needed.

I searched that for a long time in the whole web and didn't find such a simple solution!

All those new/different menus and panels ( especially the preferences dialog ) it confuses more than it helps. Better rendering capabilities e.g. the kirsten viewer. Nice idea! but also there i hardly can get used to the ui.
