[BUG-40776] Viewer should remember which tab is active in "Appearance" floater between logins

[sl-service-account]

How would you like the feature to work?

If a user selects "Outfit Gallery," "My Outfits" or "Wearing" in the Appearance floater, the viewer should remember which tab was selected. At next login the viewer should activate that tab by default when the floater is opened again.

Why is this feature important to you? How would it benefit the community?

Most existing Second Life users will never create snapshots for all of their existing outfits. Without snapshots, the "Outfit Gallery" view is less useful than the old "My Outfits" view. Items are much more spaced out, requiring more vertical scrolling.

The hard-coded three column format can require horizontal scrolling as well if the floater is sized for "My Outfits" use. See the attachment for an example. It took me a few moments to realize why 1/3 of my outfits weren't even listed.

Remembering the last selected tab would prevent the additional "Outfit Gallery" feature from adding an extra annoyance each session for users who don't wish to use it.

Awesome! I searched, but sadly JIRA's search isn't fuzzy enough to turn "selected" into "chosen."

I approve this anticipation of Soft's annoyance.

If you see your outfit list in the My Outfits tab not sorting alphabetically when running that build, see http://jira.phoenixviewer.com/browse/FIRE-20180
