Since it is looking more and more like subdirectories of c:\ldraw\models can
be made to work very nicely, another directory that might be nice someday is
an AUTHORS directory for personal models, for example:

   c:\ldraw\models\authors\braml\space\emoji\xf-4\...
   c:\ldraw\models\authors\braml\town\vehicles\vwbus\...
   :
   c:\ldraw\models\authors\timcourt\space\adf-300\...
   c:\ldraw\models\authors\timcourt\space\tsf-1\...
   :
   c:\ldraw\models\authors\jsproat\hmds\mla\hovercar\...
   c:\ldraw\models\authors\jsproat\tunguska\zhillch\...
   :
   c:\ldraw\models\authors\tkeller\lv\air\deuteros\...
   c:\ldraw\models\authors\tkeller\sw\bwing\...

With a structure like this, each person could comfortable go as deep into
his/her own directory as he/she wanted, and would be assured that other
people's models would not have conflicting filenames.

Just a thought.

(...) Very good thought. As we discover the possiblities with subdirectories in LDraw, this is a very good idea for us to use.

  Re: AUTHORS subdirectory?
 
(...) Hmmm... Looks like LEdit handles this just fine as well... No problems here. Is there really any reason to maintain the c:\ldraw\models\etc. structure for use in future tools in the LDraw multiverse? Why not allow models to reside in (...)
