| | | | | | (...) I'm glad you like it. I thought you had fly-through basically implemented in your test version, though. I'm still undecided on the mouse tracking. I think the way I did it works fine, but it's not at all what people from FPS games are used to. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

Since I never experienced that bug, I can't be completely sure what caused it, but I'd have to guess it was related to the progress panel if this is the first release that fixes the problem. (...)

Even though the "File" -> "LDraw Dir" menu shows the correct directory, LDView claims that it is unable to find the (...) (22 years ago, 11-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | | (...) I'm not sure if this helps, but you could borrow the code from ldglite for case sensitive filenames. Or at least examine it for ideas. It also has hooks for MacOS which you should think about since there's a Mac version of LDView now, right? (...) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

The files are located on case-sensitive file systems (that's all I have - except for some floppies), but the file names used in the files match the names on the disk (maybe except for some stuff in "p/").

| | | | | | (...) My LDraw code used "P/" and "PARTS/" when looking for parts and primitives, so those had to be upper case in order to work. I think everything else generally needed to be lower case. The new test version I posted a link to in the other message (...) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | (...) That's a good idea, but since LDView caches files after reading them, it will only ever check for any particular file once. So I don't think this will help.
