Cannot upload images via Asset Browser

JulianGro commented 4 years ago

If you drag an image into the asset browser (I tried .jpg and .png), it just outputs an error: 1Auswahl_755

Works for models but not pictures

Kalila tested this and apparently it just chucks the picture in world for them.

I tested on Windows and did not get that error message. (.png and .jpg files were uploaded to the Asset Server O0. ... That error is generated when the file location could not be read. What OS and file path was the error message generated for? There should be a program log entry specifying the file path that was tried to be read. @JulianGro

However, there are differences in how image files and model files are handled:

Model files: A dialog opens prompting for the asset path to use. (See screen snap.) The model files is added to the Asset Server. (But the model is not rezzed in-world.)
Image files: The asset path dialog is NOT displayed. Instead, the image file is added to the root folder in the Asset Sefver. AND the image is rezzed in-world as an Image entity. Note: For both models and images, it doesn't matter whether you drop onto the Asset Browser window or the world content; in both cases the same actions are taken per the above.

Should model files be automatically rezzed (like images are)? Should image files not be rezzed (like models aren;t)? Should the user be prompted for the path to store them in on the Asset Server (the same as model files are)?

I lean towards models also being automatically rezzed, however, I wonder if we should have a popup to confirm before doing so (for both models and images)

If make images also display the path dialog, then could add a checkbox option to also rez image / model in-world. Default to "yes". Remember setting between program runs. .... This would mean no confirmation popup is needed.

Perry got the error dialog when using Ubuntu, trying to drag and drop a picture from the Linux explorer.
