  Re: Official LEGO Color Chart
 
(...) Mark, Is Maersk Blue included in the picture you have above ? If so, which number is it ? Ray (21 years ago, 8-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) To be honest, I'm not fussed either way. I guess if you use multiple Ldraw applications, then using a single preferences file for all programs to locate the Ldraw directory makes sence. My only concern is that the file only be used to store (...) (21 years ago, 8-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) Ok, but remember James used the word "eventually" a few messages back. I wouldn't skip the environment.plist file in favor of the org.ldraw.plist file just yet. Do both files, or just the environment.plist file if both is too much work. (...) (21 years ago, 8-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) I like the idea of a single repository of ldraw-related settings. I'd also be satisfied with the short version of the plist name (with org.ldraw.apps second). The key and string for LDRAWDIR do match the draft environment.plist contents from (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) Sorry! No, I meant a preference window. James (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) When you say "pref pane" do you mean a "PreferencePane" that goes into "System Preferences...", or do you mean just a way to set the preferences from a dialog box opened by selecting "Preferences..." from the application's "Application" menu? (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
I vote for org.ldraw.plist because it's short and simple. However I could probably be convinced to go for org.ldraw.ldrawconfig.plist because it's like com.apple.internetconfig.plist, or maybe org.ldraw.apps.plist, but not the one with mac in it. To (...)

  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) No, Apple doesn't encourage that. And you are right, it shouldn't be named org.ldraw.ldrawdir.plist. Most preferences for a single application are stored in a single file. Some applications use entire folders (especially web browsers--so they (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) Unless I'm misunderstanding, I think you would be much better off if you drop ".ldrawdir" from the plist filename above. That way the file can contain other settings in the future in addition to the LDRAWDIR setting you have now. Or put (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) These two pages discuss everything you could want to know. (URL) preferences format: The most common preference file format is an xml file with the file extension ".plist" with this DTD: (URL) propose the code to be: <key>LDRAWDIR</key> (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) That's a reasonable goal. We made some similar progress recently in Windows with the ldraw.ini file. So, where is the Library/Preferences/* usage documented. I don't know anything about it. Could you point me to a document like qa1067.html (...) (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) LOL, I guess so. James (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) Dang. So already there has to be 2 locations: ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist, and Library/Preferences/*pref name* That is ok. What if we all agree that if our app changes the ldraw directory, it will change it in both places? Same with the (...) (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) Does this mean that my little invention, the LDRAWDIR environment string, is spread to Macs, too? Sorry for the intrusion, but this is a true ego trip, my little "child" is found in so many system settings of computers all over the world. I (...) (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Central location for LDraw prefs
 
(...) The latest version of ldglite will come with a script to update the ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file with the LDRAWDIR setting. See here for details. (URL) you want to test the script before the release, I'm sure Tom could email you the (...) (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Central location for LDraw prefs
 
So I have been thinking a user should only have to edit the LDraw folder location once, in one app, and all other apps should use the same location. This is similar to com.apple.internetconfig.plist, where the system internet settings for mail, (...) (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Announcing LDraw.org Relaunch
 
(...) I *believe* (and don't quote me on this) ;-) ... that what we did was move over usernames, but will require you to reset your password. This was a technical/security issue. Try to reset your password through the system, if that doesn't work, (...) (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Announcing LDraw.org Relaunch
 
(...) Hi, great job, but I've a problem with my login password. When I type in my PT password I get the site with "incorrect password". Does I do something wrong or is this not ready for use? CU Bernd (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Some more info since I can't seem to post correctly: Help Add Life to LDraw.org! Greetings LEGO fans from the LDraw.org tech team! We're excited to see the new site go live, and lately have been working hard to smooth out the rough edges throughout. (...) (21 years ago, 6-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
 
  Announcing LDraw.org Relaunch
 
We are pleased to announce we've thrown the switch on our new content management system. This system will make it easier to add news and updates to the (URL) LDraw.org> website, and it will also allow for more people to get involved with content. (...)
