(...) Note to everyone: could we *please* stop using this format for subpart titles? The '~' is only meaningful for 'hidden' parts in the main parts/ directory.[1] The 'subpart' is redundant; only subparts belong in parts/s/, and when the file is (...)

(...) Sorry, Steve. I honestly didn't know you didn't like this. :-( Could we document this in a FAQ somewhere at LDraw.org? Also, in some cases, the filename of the subfile will not completely contain the filename of the "main" (i.e., parent) file, (...) (23 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I'd be happy to compile a list of the subfiles I've written (as time permits) with suggested new titles for same, if you'd be willing to admin-update the files (so that whatever votes they've got won't go away). Would that be OK? Thanks, (...) (22 years ago, 30-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Steve, What subfiles, in your opinion, would need the tilde ("~") as the first character? I'm thinking that any subfile created for dithered color usage, and is used only for that one file, would qualify. But I could be wrong... Thanks, (...) (22 years ago, 30-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Steve, Here's the complete list of unofficial subfiles whose titles aren't already in the format that you wanted. I've listed each with a suggested new title.

(...) The tilde is not needed for any subparts (subpart=file in parts\s\). The tilde is used to note part files that do not need to be displayed in general part listings. Steve (22 years ago, 31-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Parts that are 'subparts', in the sense that they always appear as a segment of a more complex part. A simple example is the "Car Steering Wheel" - 3829. It's actually three files: 3829.DAT Car Steering Wheel 3829B.DAT ~Car Steering Wheel (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
