  Re: LDAO Suggestion Mark 2
 
(...) As I understand Jamie's idea, all model DAT's are physically stored in the /models directory. So you could only have one Ship1.dat. When you tried to create a second file with the same name, the software should warn you. Steve (25 years ago, 23-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: LDAO Suggestion Mark 2
 
(...) LDraw and LEdit do not support other directories. Well, they do, sort of. They will look for sub-files in the following locations: - ldraw\p - ldraw\parts - ldraw\models - current directory The last search option is what allows most programs (...)

  Re: LDAO Suggestion Mark 2
 
Should we add a search path in the ldraw.ini file? There is a performance hit if you specify the directories in a different order. The first time LDLite finds a reference to a file, it tries to open the file in /p directory, then /parts, etc. Trying (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDAO Suggestion Mark 2
 
(...) A definable search path would be good. Some ideas: 1. An ini-file setting. 2. Several ini-file settings, similar to the [Views] section. Let the user setup as many different ones as he wants, and pick one at render-time. 3. An environment (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
