(...) Cool. Thanks. I downloaded the Linux/x86 binary to what I believe is a Red Hat 7.3 system (might be 7.2 though), to test it. Even though the "File" -> "LDraw Dir" menu shows the correct directory, LDView claims that it is unable to find the (...) (22 years ago, 11-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Thanks for the report. My first guess is that this is caused by a case-sensitive filesystem, and the files have a different case than what the model specifies. All my testing at home was done using an LDraw install on my Windows drive that I (...) (22 years ago, 11-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I'm not sure if this helps, but you could borrow the code from ldglite for case sensitive filenames. Or at least examine it for ideas. It also has hooks for MacOS which you should think about since there's a Mac version of LDView now, right? (...) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) The files are located on case-sensitive file systems (that's all I have - except for some floppies), but the file names used in the files match the names on the disk (maybe except for some stuff in "p/"). I use all lower case for the LDraw (...) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) My LDraw code used "P/" and "PARTS/" when looking for parts and primitives, so those had to be upper case in order to work. I think everything else generally needed to be lower case. The new test version I posted a link to in the other message (...) (22 years ago, 12-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That's a good idea, but since LDView caches files after reading them, it will only ever check for any particular file once. So I don't think this will help. It might help, though, since I would essentiall scan the entire LDraw parts directory (...) (22 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.cad)
