 | | Mac OS X - LdGLite Launcher .8
|

I have thrown together a AppleScript Studio application that functions as a launcher for ldglite. It makes it fairly easy IMHO. (I was getting sick of trying to launch ldglite all the time) Those with Mac OS X, check it out at: (URL) (23 years ago, 1-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

What is the problem with case exactly on macLDGLite? The linux parts distribution has different case directory names and ldglite has a problem with that? Is it just the directory names that are trouble? LDRAW has the same notion of case as DOS, (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

As case sensitivity, I haven't changed the actual parser code, so if the directory names are in upper case then it should work. However I must confess I haven't tried using the linux ldraw primitives, so to redress this, I have just downloaded the (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) From my experience, I think thats correct. Whatever case you create something as is the actual case that it is stored as. But, the ability to open a file is 'case insensitive'. Therefore, while it does preserve case when creating a file, you (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) Is this a real issue? Parts can't be truly BFC compliant until all of their subparts are BFC compliant. So yes, you'll have to insert those INVERTNEXT commands.
