[sldev] Another Technical question

[Melinda Green]

The permissions you care capable of setting on existing objects are 
sometimes different from what you can specify when creating new objects. 
There are lots of different kinds of objects and lots of different way 
in which they can be created. E.G. uploads, in-inventory, in-world, in 
object contents, etc. VWR-8049 
<http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-8049> is the meta task for 
rectifying these idiosyncrasies, and VWR-12121 
<http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-12121> is the sub-task that 
addresses script creation in particular. The only way to currently do 
what you're trying to do would be to trigger a callback when your newly 
created script shows up, which then attempts to set its permissions the 
way you want. That would be such a horrible hack that it's not worth 
attempting. Instead, the above tasks are meant to provide the back-end 
object creation API support such that the approach that you are assuming 
should work, can actually work.

To Stickman who wrote:
        "I seem to recall something about a default perm mask on 
uploaded files being available in 1.23. Was that not the case?",
That was VWR-8624 <http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-8624> which is 
indeed in 1.23 but which only deals with uploaded content.

I hope that helps.
