Hmmm,
I know it’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but what would you
think about maybe taking over the maintainence and development of
ldglite? I tend to think of it as the lowest common denominator of
LDRAW viewer/editors, but with a little care and attention (sorely
lacking from me lately) it could possibly be updated a bit. And
by expanding on it’s drag and drop support (from ldlist), it’s
cut and paste support (from sources like the peeron set database),
and it’s support for LDDP plugins, it might be possible to update
it without getting too involved with my ugly spaghetti code.
What do you think?
