Incomplete Inventory with Emerald

If you use the viewer Emerald, it is possible you experiences missing parts. You probably have not lost anything. Something with the loading of the inventory in your viewer has done wrong, but in most cases your inventory is still there on the Linden Lab servers. This is a bug of inconsistency between the cache management of several viewers.

The default location of the cache, depending on your operating system is as follows:
  • Windows XP
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\SecondLife\cache
  • Windows Vista
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\cache
  • Windows 7
    C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\browser_profile\Cache
  • Mac
    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/SecondLife/cache
  • Linux
    ~/.secondlife/cache

When You use several different viewers, make sure you use a different location cache for each application.

Select the Preferences into the Edit menu
Select the Network tab
Location Cache

Change the default location and create as many subdirectories as viewers
.. SecondLife \ cache \ Official
.. SecondLife \ cache \ Snowgloble
.. SecondLife \ cache \ Emerald

Clear your cache and then reconnect, you should find your inventory.
