These are nicely rendered, Jonathan, As soon as I saw them, my mind took me back to when I was a kid and my father was building his HO model railroad. His "downtown" area backdrop was lined with plastic building facades just like these. Yours are (...) (19 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.town)

(...) We are talking about official files in the parts library here. They're not going to have Unicode or special characters. If this isn't already explicitly in the spec for library filenames, we can certainly add it. As a side note, UTF-8 and (...) (19 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Couldn't that be dealt with by restricting the filenames to alphanumerics + the usual suspects (_ etc.)? My understanding was those were unchanged in any character set. Tim (19 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Call me paranoid, but long filenames make me nervous because of the other worms packaged along with them (like unicode or UTF-8, blech!). Sure your filenames might look great on Windows, but try to bring them over to another filesystem, or (...) (19 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Or, we should start by introducing the new standard, use it in a few (relatively obscure) instances, and give the various software authors a chance to sort it out. Considering the general pace of parts releases, a long-named file would be on (...) (19 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) This suprises me. Can you elaborate on this? If we in the LSC are going to make an informed decision on this issue, understanding why this is the case with LPub/LSynth would help us greatly.

(...) I'm personally undecided on the issue of long filenames. On the one hand Willy is entirely correct that we probably shouldn't disallow them purely because of ldraw.exe/ledit.exe. On the other hand, Kevin's post that LPub/LSynth would both have (...) (19 years ago, 28-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

You can make a new version of mklist that works as follows: scan through the parts, if a filename is long then make a new copy of the file with a standardised short file name (possible assigned in (...)
