Assets Name Change
We had an interesting thing happen on Wyldwood Bayou this week. My husband re-named an object. The next day we discovered that perhaps 15 percent of our assets on the world had also changed to that name as if he had selected them all and renamed. These objects now needed to renamed, easier in the case of copy objects but not so much with no modify objects which can't be changed. This means we have to replace them from inventory, and of course it's difficult to search unless we remember the names. We will do what we need to do to fix the mess, but I'm concerned about it happening again. As anyone ever had this problem before? Is there a secret button we hit to cause this? Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hi Kira,
Is it possible your husband accidentally had the additional objects selected when he renamed the one he intended to? (it's quite easy to do by accident with the viewer by selecting an area when intending to select a single object)

Hi IIan, thank you for your reply. That's what I thought at first, and it's possible, but given the level of detail on the world, not likely that he would have been able to select such a large area of objects. We are currently building an abandoned asylum and blaming all quirks to the asylum taking on a haunting life of its own. I think we will just have to chalk it up to that.

And if you save backups on a regular basis all you would need to do is use the previous one if mistakes happen.
