(URL) The main feature of Color Manager is to filter your parts list to only those pieces that are available (from Bricklink) in the color that you choose. This allows the user to build (...)

(...) Its not an issue for me, I know how to get round the problem, but I thought it would be useful for you as potential problem other people may encounter. I like to keep the unofficial parts separate so that I know when I create models they will (...) (17 years ago, 7-May-08, to lugnet.cad)
