In viewer Second Life 5.0.2.323359 (Second Life Release) it appears the View Display Name setting has been broken and no actual change to /displayname & /completename namespaces have been made.
Also in viewer Second Life 5.0.1.323027 (Second Life Release) it appears the Usernames setting is returning legacy name instead of user name in agent name tags.
Information
URI namespace for /displayname & /completename will not resolve when "View Display Names" viewer setting is disabled, but /username will.
Example:
With "View Display Names" disabled, secondlife:///app/agent/b91d12f1-4e0f-4752-8199-73d71fdeeee5/displayname returns "Lucia Nightfire" secondlife:///app/agent/b91d12f1-4e0f-4752-8199-73d71fdeeee5/completename returns "Lucia Nightfire" secondlife:///app/agent/b91d12f1-4e0f-4752-8199-73d71fdeeee5/username returns "lucia.nightfire"
With "View Display Names" enabled: secondlife:///app/agent/b91d12f1-4e0f-4752-8199-73d71fdeeee5/displayname should return "Lucy daughter of the Devil" secondlife:///app/agent/b91d12f1-4e0f-4752-8199-73d71fdeeee5/completename should return "Lucy daughter of the Devil (lucia.nightfire)" secondlife:///app/agent/b91d12f1-4e0f-4752-8199-73d71fdeeee5/username returns "lucia.nightfire"
Scripted applications do not explicitly rely on this viewer setting. They depend on the namespaces resolving as the namesake implies.
This feature request is for one of the following changes:
A) Change behavior of /displayname & /completename to resolve as their namesake implies regardless of the "View Display Names" viewer setting.
or
B) Implement a new URI path /show or /display that can be added after /displayname or /completename to resolve the namespace regardless of the "View Display Names" viewer setting.
With either one of these changes, scripted applications can finally perform as expected.
Thanks in advance for any consideration.
