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.

Hi Tim,
The only issue I know about with this is when LPub is unpacking an MPD file
into the LDraw directory, and the process blows up in the middle.
Next time you try to work with the MPD, you get an error about overwriting the
files.
This error was important back when LPub didn’t do all its work in scratch sub
directories. I didn’t want to wipe out people’s individual original files when
unpacking the MPD. Now that I unpack the MPD into LPubLDraw, the check is not
really needed.
I will remove this check.
You can bypass this check by checking Building
Instructions->Controls->Overwrite on MPD extract.
If this is *not* the issue you are having, please provide more information.
Thanks,
Kevin

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
1 An XP permissions thing maybe - I hate the XP implementation of
permissions and wish they’d gone for unix style but I guess that’s MS for
you.
