Hmmm, I must've put myself to sleep as well. Actually, I've been a bit
busy lately. Now what was I trying to say...
I guess I was thinking that a <SKIP> tag might be a third choice between
<HIDE> and <SHOW>, but after a few days I now think it might be
complimentary to <HIDE> and <SHOW>. What I was trying to accomplish
was a tag which allows people to insert a part directory in a specific
location in the directory search list, but to have the programs ignore
it most of the time. However LDRAW programs would need to have some way
to temporarily activate the <SKIP> directory for this to be useful. The
idea was to be able to temporarily activate a normally skipped directory
to quickly see the effects of using an alternate set of parts. Maybe
someone would use it to enable/disable unofficial parts, or (hold your
nose if you find this disturbing) perhaps enable/disable clone parts.
I suppose this could be done by substituting INI files and restarting
the program, but I thought it might be nice to try and define a tag
to make it easier and quicker. We'd have to agree on it up front
though because there's no point having a <SKIP> tag if some of the
LDRAW programs don't skip the directory.
Anyhow, I was just trying to get as many ideas out there as possible
before Lars finishes his code and things are set in stone.
Enjoy,
Don
