The reason I suggested this is not necessarily volume, but ease - if you limit
images to top-level parts, all you need to do is when a part is uploaded, go
through your dependency list, and re-image all top-level (non sub-) parts that
use it. Removes the need to do anything with "make".

I would think the same thing applies here - if a required file needs
certification, it'll need to be downloaded anyway. It should only have an image
if it's a part in itself. Same with related files.

I think maybe I'd rather see a 3rd list against each part - "top-level parts
using this part" or something, that includes *official* parts as well. I
realise this would be a long list for many primitives, maybe put it on a
separte page.

I mean, how I generally review is I pick a (top-level) part, download it & all
it's required files, and look at them all at once. When I post my review for
sub parts & primitives, I go to look for other parts that use them (via related
files), but still generally only look at top-level parts.

Of course, it's a bit different when there's a pile of primitives need review
all at once 8?) but you still need to check the new primitives in conjunction
with existing parts that use them, anyway.

(...) Yeah, but that would be doing the job of make -- reinventing the wheel, so to speak. It should be easier to maintain a dependency file for each unofficial file, and let make figure out what needs to be updated when. Side thought: Kyle (...) (24 years ago, 17-May-02, to lugnet.cad)
