(...) Franklin and everyone: Please do *not* attempt to 'rename' files on the Parts Tracker. I have a simple script set up to handle renames.

Yes, exactly what I mean. Access would be through the same password interface for submitting/reviewing. -Orion (22 years ago, 24-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  [LCAD] plz help me fix 3626bps4...
 
Steve, I need your help to fix this problem. I need you to please re-number file 3626bps4 (the Old Ben Kenobi face pattern) currently in the Tracker to 3626bps6. Once this is done, I need a new file uploaded for a *new* version of 3626bps4, that (...) (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
OK, as of today, here's what we've got... Please note that we *still* need some of the subfiles re-numbered... Thanks, Franklin For 3626b (Minifig Head): pS0 - (open) pS1 - (open) pS2 - Young Obi-Wan Kenobi (also Luke Skywalker from 2000 and later) (...)

  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
[sigh]... I just made *another* mistake. >:-( I forgot that I wanted to fix a mis-match, so I've just had to re-(re)-name the "Lobot" files. The *proper* versions are: 3626bpsc, s\3626psc1, and s\3626psc2. Any previous version is now obsolete, and (...) (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) Yes, it will. I made a mistake. I've manually changed these subfiles to more acceptable names: s\3626pSA1 and s\3626pSA2. Steve, please delete the old, obsolete versions of these subfiles. Thanks, Franklin (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Parts Tracker suggestion
 
A smaal little suggestion for the Parts Tracker: Some sort of "what have I signed on to" page. This would make it much easier to find the parts that have a hold placed on it. -Orion (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) And that's how I renamed these files. parts\s\3626ps9a.dat ---> parts\s\3626basa.dat parts\s\3626ps9b.dat ---> parts\s\3626bbsa.dat Steve (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) Yes, but there is an acceptable alternative naming convention for patterned subparts (see How are subparts numbered? in (URL) ---> s\3626baS9 s\3626bpS9b ---> s\3626bbS9 etc. Chris (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
Should we document in the Pattern Number FAQ which codes we're using for whom? For 3626b (Minifig Head): pS0 - (open) pS1 - (open) pS2 - Young Obi-Wan Kenobi (also Luke Skywalker from 2000 and later) pS3 - Luke Skywalker (from the 1999 sets) pS4 - (...)

  Re: [Parts Tracker] Wrapping up 2002-02
 
(...) Maybe. OTOH, if we want to pursue this train of thought, it's now or never. Once these files get released, things are pretty much set in stone. And the number of characters should not be a deterrant. We just have to be clear about which codes (...) (22 years ago, 22-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
