To all developers,
The LSC does not want to specify how unofficial parts are handled. Personally
if find the recommendation that we pull down individual unofficial parts into
the same directory as our LDraw file a hassle.
Would the group prefer environment variables that provide paths for
directories, or known subdirectory names?
I think that for the novice user, known subdirectory names would be simplest.
For advanced users environment variables provide the most control.
I could see implementing both. "unofficial" subdirectory for parts that are
not officially released for the simple user and environment variables for part
authors and advanced users. We could use LDRAWPREDIRS and LDRAWPOSTDIRS for the
environment variables.
So, this convention can only work for a given user if all the tools they use
follow the convention.
Unless someone comes up with an alternate plan, I will implement this in LPub.
I believe that I can compensate for L3P and the renderers by substituting parts
found in alternate paths with their full file system path name before handing
off the generated LDraw file to them.
