Backup of skins will cease working at some point

Dear Folks,

I have just been informed by one of my Linden friends that they're working on implementing "Cloth Protection" on an upcoming version of their viewer. So people will be sending out only the "baked" versions of their skins.
This thing already exists on Greenlife (Emerald) and it helps preventing contect theft.
With this thing being standard, people will tend to move more and more towards using it, so whenever you use the "/save" or "/store" commands for skins, you will end up either with the "baked" version, if you use the [baked] parameter, or with a default texture (or nothing) if you don't use it.
So, if you plan making backup of your (or any other) skins, I recommend doing it as soon as you can.
I still don't know how far the other clothing or wearables layers are going to be affected, but at least the backup of shapes should not be affected at all. Also the backup of attachments should not be affected.
I'll be able to find out by the time they release their new viewer, then I'll let you guys know.

Well ... we had our fun ... lol.

Cheers,
The Borg.
