Actually, as far as I know, Imprudence does not export the contents of any prim, it only exports the shape/linkset and textures, and only if you are the creator and owner of both. This makes it much less useful in general since any scripted items or packaged items can't be exported with Imprudence - you only get the container prim, not any of the things inside it. <div>
<br></div><div>(Which is one of the reasons I keep hoping someone will come up with a solution to import IAR files without requiring console access - IAR is the only format I know of that preserves any type of item and the contents inside prims.)</div>
<div><br></div><div>So to the original question, if you are trying to export an avatar from Second Life to an Opensim grid, good luck. There is no easy one-shot way to do it - you can export the avatar shape with Imprudence (if you have full permissions to the shape), you can export the various attachments with Imprudence (if you are the creator of all the textures, and the attachments aren't scripted, and you have full permissions to all the components), etc. but you can't export the whole avatar easily. Clothing, unless you created the original textures, I think you're out of luck. If you created the textures, then you'll have to re-create the clothing item in Opensim and then upload the texture and re-create the textured/sculpted clothing items.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are trying to export an avatar from one Opensim grid to another, and you have console access, then it is fairly simple. Put all the components of your avatar into a single folder in your inventory, then on the console export that folder out as an IAR file. Then re-import the IAR into your new grid and voila, all your avatar components are there. </div>
<div><br></div><div>You could also do something similar with OAR files, again if you have console access. Box up all the components of the avatar and plop the box down on a region, then export an OAR file of the region and re-import into your new grid and the box will be there with all the components.</div>

In saying that you may be able to get away with placing all parts of the<br>
avatar into a cube and then using Imprudence to export the cube. You can<br>
then reimport into OpenSim and reassemvle the avatar. I think theres a<br>
limit to how many nested levels Imprudence can expirt but for simpler<br>
avatars this might well offer a solution.<br>
