Hey, y'all:
I'm working on adding a feature to LDAO which verifies that parts.lst and
the VEC directory are up-to-date. I started to write this post asking if
it was worth the effort, but now I'm wondering what steps are even
necessary. I think it is sufficient to do the following, but I need other
eyes to look at this. LMKWYT, TIA, ETC.
Definition: A "Profile" is the output of the DOS command
DIR *.DAT /0N
A "parts profile" is the result of profiling ldraw\parts. A "VEC profile"
is the result of profiling ldraw\vec.
A parts profile captures nearly all information about ldraw\parts,
including file size and modification date, and which parts are in the
library. *** It does not include whether particular files should be
ignored or included. ***
When Make List is run, record the parts profile.
When Make Catalog is run, record the parts profile. Also record the VEC
profile.
At LDAO startup, generate a parts profile, and compare it to the Make List
and Make Catalog profiles. If there are differences from a recorded
profile, that tool needs to be rerun.
At LDAO startup, if the Make Catalog profile has not changed, generate a
VEC image profile, and compare it to the profile recorded when Make Catalog
was run. If there are differences, Make Catalog needs to be rerun.
