However, there are exceptions:<br /><br />Example 1: The way the Viewer reads and writes the cache entirely changes, in this case the old style of caching may result in the Viewer loading objects wrong or not at all causing it to halt rezzing up to a crash.<br /><br />Example 2: Settings that have a certain functionality, lets say Debug feature 'XYZ', its function is to show a button. Now if i change the functionality, lets say invert it so on is hidden (instead of visible) and off is visible (instead of hidden) you may find yourself seeing things that are not meant to be seen that way. The thing here is that these "default" settings only apply if the user didn't change them, since i cannot make sure that everyone hasn't changed this setting i changed (therefor automatically using the new default) i have to tell people to reset their settings to make sure everything is set properly as it should be.NiranV Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599413268681962701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-51832430901393683162014-09-10T13:28:55.552+02:002014-09-10T13:28:55.552+02:00You didn't mention deleting cache and settings...You didn't mention deleting cache and settings files, does that mean I'll be able to leave those and just overwrite over the old install?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-6652606822485461702014-09-10T10:34:23.732+02:002014-09-10T10:34:23.732+02:00Updating is currently still done via manually re-d...Updating is currently still done via manually re-downloading the latest version as it becomes available. I had a few tests with the auto-updater but the Viewer refuses to download from bitbucket and/or google which are pretty much the only 2 download sites i would want to use as they are usually really fast and reliable.NiranV Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599413268681962701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-86454440328850413302014-09-10T07:12:58.278+02:002014-09-10T07:12:58.278+02:00I also saw the $L balance being shown 24/7 as an u...I also saw the $L balance being shown 24/7 as an unnecessary thing as well, so putting it and the upload features on the inventory are a welcomed change. And the snapshot preview is /always/ sexy Ayamo.<br />Off-topic question though: I'm pretty new to use of Black Dragon, how does it receive updates? Is it updated by a built-in updater? Or downloading the installer again? And also, if the latter, does it need to be clean installed like other viewers?<br /><br />Also, thanks for making the only viewer that I can run above 20FPS. Enjoying being able to actually see SL in all it's beauty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001894160739107360.post-29700797713206381392014-09-10T03:18:57.656+02:002014-09-10T03:18:57.656+02:00I expect a fast release.
