(...) The problem with Windows is that only command line applications have access to stdout. And command line applications automatically create and show their own command window (DOS prompt to many people) when they are run from anywhere but inside (...) (13 years ago, 29-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) I too have run into this on many occasions and have had to use some pretty ugly workarounds. I've done instructions with not only thousands of parts, but sometimes many more synthesized parts than regular, especially for pneumatic models. LPub (...) (13 years ago, 3-Oct-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) Jaco has already increased the timeout, so he knows where in the code we timeout. LPub does pop up some dialog, but it could print out the LDView/ldglite output. It is in the tmp directory somewhere I think. Jaco, you up for adding that? Its (...) (13 years ago, 26-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Google Code branch - vehicle_046_whitecamper.ldr
 
I think we have a problem here. I mailed Brickbuilder to ask permission to use the White Camper Caravan in Datsville and meanwhile put it in the Pending folder. He never replied, so I guess we have to take that for a 'No'. /Tore (13 years ago, 25-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
 
  Re: Google Code branch
 
(...) Could be a good thing to supply the link: (URL) I dig into this revision, I only wish to add a few spontaneous comments. Six railway crossings in such a short distance is a few too much. Two bridges is enough. I'd say no more bridges. Beyond (...) (13 years ago, 25-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
 
  Re: Google Code branch
 
A third revision is up. The main highlight is that there is now stuff to visit across the river, as well as two bridges connecting to there! Also, I added short text descriptions to the file names so you can tell the models apart. (13 years ago, 25-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) Yeah, ok, I knew that too but I was hedging just in case I misunderstood what he was talking about. So what's the missing feature? Maybe an option to see the LDView command line running in a logging window somewhere? I don't know if LDView (...) (13 years ago, 24-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) Hi Matija, Jaco is increasing the timeout for both ldview and ldglite. Kevin (13 years ago, 24-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problems with LDView
 
(...) I *know* that you can run LDView from the command line. That is how LPub uses LDView and ldglite as well. Kevin (13 years ago, 24-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Google Code branch
 
(...) Excellent! I'm still not ready to merge our versions, so I made my own Rev041 (still not published; too much cleaning to be done first...) First attempt crashed my PC after 13 seconds of parsing, second attempt with all unnecessary processes (...) (13 years ago, 24-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
 
  Re: Datsville Rev039 - Micro Update
 
(...) Really? Yes, I want to scrap them too, but not until we have some better replacement. /Tore (13 years ago, 24-Sep-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)
