Wake-up from the inventory nightmare...

If you've been in SL for more than a couple weeks, you already know the nightmare they call "inventory". Whew! it adds-up real quick.

Unfortunately, the interface isn't the greatest in the world. It's okay if you (try to) keep things organized. But a nightmare when you go to clean things up or look for something that isn't where you thought it should be.

For example, wouldn't it be great to be able to simply search for "landmark" and have all your landmarks listed - so you can chuck them all away (especially the bazillions of duplicates that come from your favorite store every time you buy something)?

Over at "Living in the Metaverse is a great little post that gives some tips on cleaning out your inventory. Now, the premise of the post is to help 'stabilize' or 'better' the grid. I'm not all too sure how much it would help. But I do know it will help with your experience.

The first tip is as soon as you log-in - hit the recent items tab in your inventory window. This will force your viewer to index ("search") your inventory and speed things up when you need to do a quick browse.

Another thing to do that isn't mentioned in the article is you obtain an item storage box. There are many available (I even sell a simple one here) - but for the really nice, higher-end versions, look to "PixelTrix" in-world. Sorry, no SLURL as I'm in RL right now.

This is where you put your highly-valued items that you just don't use very much. Or copyable items you already have rezzed in-world, but would unlikely rezz more copies, such as a photo studio.

Take a look at the post. Take notes. Clean-up.
