I understand and respect wisdom of the the LSC's decision to not define where to
store unofficial parts.
I was wondering if the LSC would consider defining how one defines the paths to
unofficial directories? At least that would give us some commonality to the
solution of unofficial parts.

| (...) LDView and MLCad shows a way for solving this issue. In the MLCad.ini you can define alternate search path for parts, so you do not have to mix official and unofficial parts. Also LDView has the possibility to search in different directories. (...) (16 years ago, 24-Mar-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)
