Problem is that I'm no programmer either. For very low level, crude programs
it's enough but I don't feel up to the task to do that integration. But I agree
it would be a nice thing!

These are relatively simple programs code wise so as long as your sources stay
available, both these programs can be ported to LDDP plugins with relative ease.

Hi Orion,

available, both these programs can be ported to LDDP plugins with relative ease.

They will... Would you do the adaptation? That would be great!

since we are talking about LDDP plug-ins. are there any news on this:

orion, lee? also "Edger" would be a fantastic plug-in!

LDDP is going through a major change right now.  I'm trying out a new editor
control which seems to be more versatile and supports unicode.  The sticking
point right now is writing the code for the syntax highlighter.  Once that's
done, I'll probably have a look a IseCalc and Linetrim (and Edger once I learn
more about Java)

Where do I find Edger? looks like this page disappeared:
http://www.lummoxjr.com/lego/legos.html

I was thinking of writing such a program, but if it's already written...

The extra versatility is a good thing, but Unicode shouldn't be at all useful
for LDDP since ldraw files aren't (and can't) be Unicode.  Am I missing
something?

No, I was just typing without thinking

this is good news indeed! my wishlist for LDDP is still up ;-)

Problem is that I'm no programmer either. For very low level,
crude programs it's enough but I don't feel up to the task to
do that integration. But I agree it would be a nice thing!

These are relatively simple programs code wise so as long as your
sources stay available, both these programs can be ported to LDDP
plugins with relative ease.

Would it be useful to create a generic LDDP plugin?  Say one that
simply executes a command line that appears in an ldraw style meta
command like this:

0 LDDP_EXECUTE linetrim input1.ldr input2.ldr output.ldr

Then you'd just put linetrim.exe (or edger, or whatever) in the
path, or perhaps in the LDDP plugin directory where the generic
execute plugin could find it.

Enjoy,

Don

Actually this already exists as the External Programs feature of LDDP.
