Ok I try and hope that I do not forget something here, all others please
correct me if i'm wrong - but no cheating!
The discussion is about finding a way to specify alternate directories to be
searched before, after or inbetween the standard ldraw directories. Each
directory has to be on a single line preseeded by optional keywords
indicating if you would like to see parts in this directory in a part view
(e.g. MLCad's Part-Preview) or not.
Another keyword will tell the programm if the directory specified is a
sub-directory of a standard one or not.
Here the general syntax:
The definition begins with
[LDrawSearch]
followed by one or more lines like
n = <VisibilityOption> [<PathKeyname>]Path
where n is a running nummber starting with 1 and counting up,
VisibilityOption currently is one of
<SHOW> .... to display parts in this directory
<HIDE> .... to use them when rendering a model only, but not to display
them a useable parts
more options might follow
PathKeyname is one of the standard directories
<LDRAWDIR> is e.g. C:\LDRAW
<MODELDIR> is the current directory of your project or the directory
where the current loaded file is located.
more paths might follow
As an expamle the ini section for the standard search path:
[LDrawSearch]
1 = <SHOW> <MODELDIR>
2 = <HIDE> <LDRAWDIR>P
3 = <SHOW> <LDRAWDIR>Parts
4 = <SHOW> <LDRAWDIR>Models

We suggested to have that in the ldraw.ini, but it might also be used in
environment variables and
in the registry as well - but I believe we said in the file now ... (not
sure anymore).

You can insert your directories wherever you like, before, after or between
the standard lines.
