It might fix it (I think it would still gum up the PT with over-zealous hold
votes); but why break anything when we’re just talking about adding fewer than
200 lines to the config file?
I think it’s a terrible idea to make dozens of programmers change their
software, and dozens more part authors change they way they create parts, and
dozens more part reviewers change the way they review parts, just so that we
don’t add a few extra lines.

Since it usually takes a considerable amount of time to get a part through
the
PT I don’t expect popping up parts with such a code before a year. Do
you think it will be enough time for the still active programmers to update
their code?
|
So, you’re saying that since the part tracker is so broken to begin with, it’s
ok if we break it even worse? There are perfectly good parts that have been on
the tracker for YEARS, either through inattention, or for frivolous hold votes.
And I think that holding for using a perfectly valid color code that somebody
just decided to leave out of the config file is frivolous. I think that
re-submitting perfectly fine official parts to the PT for using one of these
valid color codes is equally frivolous.

But seriously as I stated above I started
fixing
parts using MLCad and guess what I came across? Since these

have been considered “good
enough” to be released as official patterns don’t
you think you’ll find a
color that resembles what you are looking for?

I don’t know what you’re driving at with these images. The bottom two are
mostly greyscale anyway, and I don’t think that’s where the problem lies.
But here’s an example:
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/3626bph2.dat
this file has been on the PT since 2003. It had two certify votes since 2006.
Recently, it was held and I had to change a color from a close color match to
something that doesn’t look as accurate. I don’t see what we gain by doing
this, and now how many years will it take to get this certified?
