Don't be disrespecting the part authors. They all choose what parts to
work on. They voluntarily, without compensation, contribute their time and
effort to the LCAD Part Library. Which provides a valuable resource to
*all* AFOLs. People who don't use LCAD programs themselves benefit from
resources like Partsref, which is driven by the LCAD library, as well as
parts sellers who can use LDrawn images on their for-sale pages.

That is an interesting idea, and it could work for newer programs, but it
can't be accepted as a standard approach for the LCAD library, because
LDraw and LEdit don't do this.

And if there are 50, 100, or 200 parts that you don't have in a model
you're trying to view?
