Once per session, or once per installation? Once per installation would be
keen.
Also, it would be keen to be able to turn off and on error-reporting (e.g.
missing parts, etc.) I use this feature when I'm creating a model or fixing an
old one, but when I'm just viewing models it kinda gets in the way too.

Actually, this raises an issue with the parts-cache. For example, if I launch
an MPD file with a subpart "FOO.DAT", then load another MPD file with a totally
different subfile also named "FOO.DAT", I get multiple offset copies of the old
"FOO.DAT". Weird. I'm not toally sure how this should be handled, since it's
still useful to cache MPD subparts. Perhaps a "flush cache and reload file"
button...?

No, thank *you*!. :-,
