In order to straighten out the mess I've caused among my many versions of
LDConfig.ldr, I needed to download the latest official version from LDraw.org.
Even though it is possible to find it, it is still anything but easy!
First I tried Downloads http://www.ldraw.org/Downloads.html - Uhmm, no. And the
Search function gave no match.
So I clicked on "Core Files and Libraries" - Negative.
Back to the Main Page and try "Get Started" http://www.ldraw.org/Article126.html
Clicked on "download database", but went back to "Downloads".
Tried the other link at "Get Started"; "Critical Files and Libraries"
http://www.ldraw.org/Downloads-index-req-viewdownload-cid-1.html - Nope, no
LDConfig there.
Shall I try Reference/Tuorials? Maybe the FAQ? Nah, let's google first...
So I tried to Google on "ldraw.org ldconfig.ldr". The fifth Google match was
http://www.ldraw.org/Article299.html labelled "Standard: LDraw.org Colour
Definition Language Extension", and there it was! The link to
http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/ldconfig.ldr behind the word "here" in
"The current version of ldconfig.ldr can be found here".
I am aware of that I reason very differently from the rest of the LDraw
community. Maybe you all would find your way directly, without taking my
odysseys?
Now I know the path: It's http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/ldconfig.ldr and
I have an shortcut to it's url in my LDraw folder, backed up on my Dropbox, so I
will not have any problems finding it next time. But what about other LDraw
users?

| (...) I'm curious why you didn't just add a link yourself. That's what I just did and now it is there. Why wait for someone else to do it for you if you feel so strongly about the problem? Tim --snip-- (...) (14 years ago, 8-Jan-11, to lugnet.cad)
