Ahhh I didn't see that in the first place, good that you pointed me to,
thanks.
I generally do not recommend to bring in third party definitions into the
standard definition. So in my opinion there is no need to take care on Knex,
MegaBloks or what ever in our definition of keywords - and just a second -
this sounds like the user will define tags - no that shouldn't happen.
We shouldn't drop the ball - but we are going to define a way of specifying
how a ldraw-lib compatible software should go through the directories when
it is searching for a part, nothing else. Additionally I thought SHOW/HIDE
might be nice in order to allow a user to define what he will get in a part
library display.
If a user is trying to use any of our programms to make none lego models, he
will be an expirienced user anyway - and I guess be able to use different
ini files.
Please don't add any none LDraw specific keywords or definition - and this
should be a programming language either :-)

| (...) Oh I don't know. I'm still hoping some of these ideas will eventually start to grow on you. Hopefully Lars will write some really nice code that finds the parts search list and somehow associates a list of tags with each directory in the list. (...)

| (...) Here's how I see it working: 1. The admin creates an LDRAW directory on the server. 2. The admin creates extra parts directories under <LDRAWDIR> on the server. 3. The admin creates an ldraw.ini file in the <LDRAWDIR> using the new GUI program (...) (20 years ago, 5-Mar-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
