Hi Kevin,

Can I make a little request for any new version of LPub which should be easy to implement and add lots to the usability to LPub?

Basically, I would like an option in the Utilities menu to wipe the ldraw file directory.

The reason I ask for is that if you kill (or otherwise interrupt) image generation, sometimes you are left with .ldr files in there. Sometimes LPub won’t run again with the files there 1. To delete them (at least on my system) requires closing LPub, deleting the files and the rerunning LPub. Of course if I’ve forgotten to save any changes to my settings I can end up having to go through the whole process again.

I’m guessing this shouldn’t be too hard to implement (you probably have all the procedures already) and would vgreatly enhance my use, and hopefully others. If it is more difficult than I imagine it to be, please don’t take it as a demand or a neccesity.

Thanks,

Tim
