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.

In order for make to process stuff properly, I'll need to tell it the order in which directories shold be searched for dependent files because that information is not in the DAT file itself.

| | | | (...) I have to disagree: we don't 'know' exactly when an image needs updating. We have the information needed to figure out which image(s) need updating, but it's in a form that still needs to be sorted through. Sorting through it isn't too hard, (...)

| | | | | | All, I have finally figured out what the essential character of the job of generating images for the parts tracker boils down to... Here's how I see it. 1.
