Hello Carsten,
In deed a great program!
Hassle-free installation, opens as fast as NotePad, drag-n-drop files into
workspace.
I miss an L3Lab button, but since I don't use LDView, I renamed a copy of
L3Lab.exe to LDView.exe and thus fooled LDDesignPad. :o)
Also, if the program is started without loading a file and you click Open,
it starts in My Documents folder. I would prefer either last folder browsed
or LDraw BaseDirectory. Some more settings could be scannned for in the
%windir%\LDraw.ini file instead of user has to define.
(my ldraw.ini)
[LDraw]
BaseDirectory=C:\Grafik\LDraw
Author=John Smith
LDLite=C:\Program\Grafik\LDraw\LDLite
L3Lab=C:\Program\Grafik\LDraw\l3lab
I know Steve Bliss doesn't like that I put the Author key in the [LDraw]
group, but I forgot to move it and now I don't know how many different
unpublished programs I have pasted that code into (plus one or two
published). I suggest we use it, it's good in applications like this, so you
don't have to enter your name each time you inserted a standard header.
Delphi has a really handy set of IniFile functions - thanks Anders Isaksson
for pointing me to them - and it would surprise me very much if C++ doesn't
have similar functions. (You did write it in C++, didn't you? For some
reason, I got that impression.)
Thanks for a great program. With or without my suggested features
implemented, I will use it very much.
/Tore
