Hi Diva! Thanks for offering this nice collection! But… it seems some pieces in the small collection are broken (i didnt check the large one yet) e.g. the “cabelo da carlinha preto” is messed up totally… someone has used the partially alpha texture all over so the hair flickers and one prim is even using a wrong texture & colored black… i have made a fixed version of it and can send it to you if you like. I am just not sure whose copyright i might violate by doing so…. Besides that the male skin seems to be a lower resolution (unsharp) version jpeg.

[…] added a facility to add items to the inventory library by placing IARs in bin/Library. See her blog post for more details […]

This is not in 0.6.8, this is only in Git master head.

I have checked out 0.6.8-post-fixes using git, updated my installation, downloaded the iar files into the bin/Library folder and started OpenSim. However I cannot find any new content in the Library when I log in via the client. Have I missed a new configuration option with 0.6.8-post-fixes somewhere???

@Ethos: The new installation should be in a folder named diva-r11766. You need to stop your current instance of OpenSim and launch OpenSim from there. (Read the instructions on the screen just after update, they tell you this)

I did the update, and I do not find any new content in the library. I was hoping that the update would allow me to make my visitors feel more comfortable not looking like Ruth. How may I check if the update was applied?

@Coyled unrestricted. This is stuff I have collected from freebies in OSGrid, they were full perms. This is actually pointing to a much needed convention about authorship and license. People should start putting a note inside their creations saying who they are and the terms of use, so that that information doesn’t get lost as we move content around.

@Zonja: oh great point. I forgot to update the Update tool to do that move automatically. I’ll do that next time. That means that the very next update you need to move the iars manually, but the one after that should be done automatically.

[…] are now running release 11766 of the Diva distribution. As noted in this post by Diva, this release includes a very nice mechanism by which you can add content to the Opensim Library […]

One small note: you should change the filetype of Objects_library__large from iar.gz to simply iar — otherwise it doesn’t get loaded.
