(...) I don't understand what you're saying here, Tore. The ~Moved To files prevent the need to update already existing files by providing a back reference to the old part number. This prevents a part from disappearing from a model simply because (...) (15 years ago, 20-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) For some reason, those 18 "moved to" files in parts\s make a lot of noise for me. I know they shouldn't but they do and I haven't figured out the reason yet. There is another problem. It is kind of subtile, so I don't know if I'm able to (...) (15 years ago, 20-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Advanced folks could have MovedTo directory and move all the "0 ~Moved To" files there. You can then add MovedTo to MLCad.ini to tell it about the MovedTo directory. You keep the MovedTo files (if you want), MLCad's auto update, and yet not (...) (15 years ago, 19-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

Tore, I'm not really seeing the problem in the parts\s directory - there are 18 "moved to" files there. My parts directory has 456 "moved to" files, but there's not really any way around having those -- they serve two purposes: a) provide backwards (...) (15 years ago, 19-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I'm not much of an expert in this area, but that never stops me from shooting my mouth off! On unix (e.g. Mac), it would be easy enough to use grep/find to find the files that contain "0 ~Moved to" and simply remove them. Cygwin on Windows (...) (15 years ago, 19-Jan-10, to lugnet.cad)
