Inventory¶
Your inventory holds everything you own: clothes, objects, textures, landmarks, notecards and so on. Open it with Me → Inventory… or Ctrl+I.
The tabs¶
| Tab | What it shows |
|---|---|
| MY INVENTORY | Everything. |
| RECENT | Items you received recently (since you last logged out, by default). |
| WORN | What you're wearing right now. |
| FAVORITES | Items and folders you've marked as favourites (right-click → Add to Favorites). |
Finding things¶
- Type in Enter search text at the top. The drop-down next to it chooses what to search: Name, Creator, Description or UUID.
- The search visibility button chooses whether searches include outfit folders, the Trash, the Library and links.
- Show Filters… (gear button) limits the list to certain kinds of items (Animation, Clothing, Objects, Textures and so on), items Created by me or by others, or items from a time window (Since Logoff, or newer/older than so many hours or days). Reset Filters clears them.
The line at the bottom shows how many items and folders you have, and says Fetching… while your inventory is still loading after login.
Views and sorting¶
The view button (next to the gear) has:
- Sort by Name or Sort by Most Recent, Sort Folders Always by Name, Sort System Folders to Top.
- List view (the classic tree), Gallery view (big thumbnails, one folder at a time) or Combination view (folders on top, thumbnails below).
The arrow buttons (Back, Forward, Go up one level) are for moving around in single-folder and gallery views. The button at the far right switches between views.
Gear menu¶
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| New Inventory Window | Opens a second inventory window, handy for dragging between folders. |
| Collapse All Folders, Close All Windows | Tidy up. |
| Save Texture As | Saves the selected texture to your computer (if you have full permissions). |
| Share | Give the selected items to someone. |
| Find Original, Find All Links, Replace Links | For links (shortcuts to items): go to the real item, find every link to it, or point links at another item. |
| Empty Lost and Found, Empty Trash | Permanently delete what's in those folders. |
| Inventory settings… | See below. |
The Create new item (+) button creates new folders, scripts, notecards, gestures, clothing and so on.
Inventory settings¶
Inventory settings… (gear menu) chooses how double-clicking works:
| Option | Choices |
|---|---|
| Double-click on folder in multi-folder view | Expands & collapses folder, Opens a new window, or Switches view. |
| Double-click on folder in single-folder view | Stays in current window or Opens a new window. |
| Clicking on "Show in inventory" or "Find original" | Shows item in main inventory window or Opens a new single-folder window. |
| Favorites | Star on favorite items, Star on folders containing a favorite, and Colored text (pick the colour). |
| Pressing enter on an avatar attachment | Adds attachment (recommended), which keeps what's already on that point, or Wear (removes attachment at that point). |
| Double-click or enter on a clothing layer | Wear (replaces layers of that type), or Add (stacks with worn layers), so tattoos and other layers stack. Body parts (shape, skin, hair, eyes) always replace. |
Outfits¶
Saved outfits live in the My Outfits folder. To manage them, use Avatar → My outfits…; see Outfit folders.
