Hi Anders!

I  have been using ldlist quite a bit lately, and had few suggestions
(hopefully new ones):

It would be nice if the program remembered its last state when
starting. I like to use it full screen, with 2x magnification,
and it sure would be nice to have it come up that way by default.


Easy as one, two, three... plop! Should I save the info in LDraw.INI
or in a separate .INI-file?

It would be great to have the behavior of the "Search for:" box
selectable between "find everything" and "exact match"

Have to think about that one...

When you type 'plate' if would be nice to be able to exclude all the
baseplates. And if you put 'plate  1 x  2' it would be great to just
be presented with the 1x2 plates.


This is already there (in a way): If You start Your search string with
a double quote (") it will only match the complete string - but it
must match _exactly_ ie. all spaces must be present (You don't need an
ending quote).


BTW, I tested " plate, and this eliminates most baseplates.

You know how when in Windows Explorer you pass your mouse over a
directory name in the left pane, and if the name is too long to
fit in the pane a little pop-up label appears to show the full name?
Would that be possible to do in the left pane of ldlist?  Some part
names are too long for the full name to appear in the pane.


Of course it's possible! I just don't know how it's done. Give me time
will ya! :-) (I'll put the text in a little status panel in the bottom
for now...but it's not there until You click on a line :-()

And lastly, would it be possible to be able to CTRL-C the highlited
part name into the Windows Clipboard?  (not a pressing need, just
something I would find occasionally useful)


Your wish is my command :-))

And thanks for such a great little tool.  :-)


You're welcome!

(...) Put it in ldraw.ini. Part of the reason I used that filename in LDAO is because I figured we could all share it. Steve (26 years ago, 11-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
