I tend to view MPD's as something between ZIP archives (without compression
though) and file directories.
I guess my idea is not yet supported - at least not by very many utilities - but
I wish to add new files into already existing MPD model files.
Btw, I'm not sure putting the different "door.ldr" models in different folders
would solve the problem. Will door.ldr referenced by Folder1\Model1.ldr be
labelled Folder1\door.ldr or just door.ldr? If it's just door.ldr, the utility
will when encountering Folder2\Model2.ldr:door.ldr just note that door.ldr
already exists and this will cause the wrong submodel to be drawn. Problem may
remain even when using subfolders.
