Description
Environment
26.4.0.34502396632
Description
The menu entries are ambiguous. "Recompile Scripts (Mono)" does not mean Recompile the scripts that are set to Mono. It means set all LSL scripts to use "LSL on Mono" and recompile them.
Consider renaming them to indicate the script type will change. e.g. "Recompile LSL Scripts to Mono"
"Recompile LSL Scripts to LSL on Luau" (or Lua? https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/issues/6318)
"Recompile Scripts (Lua)" should remain as it is because it does not change the script type.
Reproduction steps
- Created 3 scripts in an object compiled to each of the LSL types.
- Edit the object
- Select Build menu > Scripts > Compile to Mono.
Observed: All 3 LSL scripts are now compiled to Mono.
