The next version of the Owner HUD adds support for the swap command, and also provides two ways to teleport your sub(s) with you - a feature I will refer to as "Companion Teleport".
Swap
The swap command, introduced in Mesmerizer 1.7.3, is intended to allow you to easily swap between similar items that the sub is wearing - for example to swap her current hair for a different one. As the goal of the command is to simplify doing this, it made sense for the feature to be provided via the Owner HUD, where it is even simpler to use. There is a new button labelled "Swap" in the "Dress" page of the HUD, which prompts you first for the Base folder (the folder below which all items will be detached/unworn) and then for the folder to add instead.
Companion Teleport
When teleporting around SL, I often wish to bring a sub along with me. To do this prior to this release of the Owner HUD, I either had to wear a Mesmerizer myself and manually issue a tpto command to teleport us both together, or go ahead by myself and then send for the sub. Companion teleport provides a more automated way to travel with a sub. In fact, it provides two distinct ways, called "TP Self" and "Follow". The two methods are enabled or disabled via a new "TP Prefs" choice in the HUD's main menu (the one you get by clicking the 3-bars menu icon).
"Follow" teleport provides a simple way to have your sub follow along with you as you TP around. If follow-teleport is enabled, then each time you teleport, a menu will appear to allow you to send a command to your sub(s) to teleport to your current location. The menu is there to give you time to activate the communicator(s) that will connect the HUD to your subs' Mesmerizers, and also allows you to cancel the command if you didn't mean your sub to accompany you this time. There is also an option on the menu to disable Follow teleport, so that you don't get bothered by future menus.
"TP Self" teleport will automatically teleport you whenever you use the HUD to send your sub a location. This lets you teleport together just by dropping a landmark onto the HUD. If you don't have RLV enabled, then when you turn on follow-teleport, you will be prompted to allow the HUD to teleport you.
