I just took a chance -- posted yet another update without noting it on the
web page.
Selecting bricks is 2 times faster. Dumb bug.
Also, if you open a file named like "*.CGI" it renames the file for you, to
a more
sensible name if the file contains either a FILE or NAME keyword. You
commonly get these files named LDRAW.CGI if you click on the "DAT" link for
models posted on LUGNET. I hate renaming those files so I put this feature in.
Mysterious: I have got a 33% speedup in drawing when running 2 copies of the
app at once. Passing strange...
