This is a very powerful object-scanner designed to be used in constructive tasks, like finding lost items, helping other people find lost items, keep track of your objects on your parcels, rentals, Sim/Regions etc.
Question: There is a export-function in this software, does this mean I can copy objects from secondlife?
Answer: No. The export function of this software only exports the exact same detail-information as you see in the main object-browser. It only exports data like object names, owners, creator names, positions etc. so you can easy share your findings with friends or sim-managers etc. so other people can easy find the objects you have been searching for with this software.
Question: Will this software install anything on my system?

Answer: Yes, ofcourse. Just use the un-installer included in the package to do this.
Question: Will the scanner cause lag on my sim?

Question: Secondlife will soon have a new memory-limitation on all in-world gadgets, will this scanner consume too much memory?
Answer: No. The scanner itself has a very small memory-print. It also has a memory-throttling system that makes sure the limit does not exceed the parcel’s limits at any time.
Question: What happends if the creator of this software suddenly decides to leave Secondlife or stop supporting it? Will the software stop working?
Answer: Secondlife might have a lot of developers with incredible short attention-span, jumping all over the place and suddenly leaving their customers behind.
Just to be crystal-clear: I am NOT one of them. Period.
