Description

« Hide

it would be very useful to have an option within the client to reconnect in case of disconection

and in case the detection of disconnections like https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-702 not being possible (yet) have it be an option on one of the menus all the times, once pressed the option to reconnect have the client try to unlog and then log again

this would save people from having to manually close the client, load it again and click to login

You can specify "-autologin" on the command line to start SL. That'll bypass the login screen.

Linked to internal equivalent, "Enable ability to re-login to SL after viewer times-out". Also older and very closely related, SL-2773 - "Add "Log out" option to File menu so that it's easier to logout and then back in again".

This isn't as easy to do as it might seem: it's a complicated engineering problem. It's also been suggested that if easier, there could be a way to auto-restart Second Life to relog (like how Firefox can auto-restart itself after installing new extensions).

having SL automaticly close and reload (but still allowing one to not loose currently unsaved/saving scripts and notecards as well checking the last msgs one receive) would probably be a big help while the perfect solution don't show up
