Hello Asshat Server!

Preface: I absolutely love my Huddles AO. I refuse to live my SL life without it. It is easy to use, powerful and comes with incredible support from Keiki Lemieux. It is worth every last Linden she charges for it.

Today I received the newest major update. This is big enough and has so many great new features and bug fixes I couldn't just ignore it. But it created a problem.

You see, I've had my Huddles for so long that I have probably 200 different poses and animations stuck in my old one. If I want to modify the newest update with the same stuff, I have to first:

1. drop the old HUD on the floor and drag every single file out that I want to keep. Create a temp folder to put stuff in so I can find it to move it to the new one.

2. Drop the new one. Reverse (1) to put everything into the new HUD.

Stuff that is copyable went right across instantly. It's Saturday morning so grid load isn't horrible yet. But no-copy stuff?

"Hello, asset server, may I move from this object into inventory?"

"Please wait for 5 to 10 seconds while we recreate object file in inventory. Delete old file inside object. Reload object menu and reset view to the top.

*taps fingers on desk*

Whew. That's one file. 199 to go.

I don't want to think about dragging all this crap out of inventory into the new HUD. It's going to be a lonnnng day.
