Second Inventory

So with the whole OpenSpaces aka Void Sim debacle I started looking at options, one of the open sim places I looked at was fairly good but I'll talk about that another time and it's still not ready for primetime. But in the course of looking for alternative building areas I came across the question we all have... how do I move items back and forth? The only real solution I found was Second Inventory. It has it's quirks but it does work. For a legitimate use of moving your own creations to other worlds this is a legitimate tool, though it takes a long time to work for each item. More info is available on their site but I managed to move a full copy of my house to my OpenSim sandbox and it looked just like it did in SL. Pretty neat, if you can put up with the headaches. It also has the side benefit of being able to perform batch uploads of textures, something I've been wanting in SL client for ages.
