I'm gonna butt in here and say that I would prefer having actual
folders to store different themes in. Say an actual folder for
space, etc.  I would prefer that over a flooded /models folder.

I agree with you, but the advantage of the 'virtual folder' approach is
that it would continue to work with LDraw, without any weird sub-directory
references needed in multi-file models.

Which brings me back to my original idea of having LDAO manage the \models
directory, copying files in and out as needed, based on the user launching
different models into different tools.  But that could get pretty ugly.  If
you know what I mean.

Hey Steve!  That is *exactly* what I was thinking! (and I can't think of
anytime when you said it, so if you did, I must've missed it.)  That would be
the way I'd like it done.  I think it would make a cleaner directory tree.

When LDAO starts moving (temporary) files in and out of ldraw\models, what
should it do about the files already there?

And what if the user launches model1\main.dat into LEdit, but then opens
model2\main.dat into l3p?

P.S.  I hope you put in some overwiting protection soon.  I've lost numerous
hours of work by forgetting to add my submodel number to files and overwriting
the original.  :(

In the File Save As, you mean?  I *think* I've put some in, but let me know
more specifically which commands are stomping on existing files, and I'll
see what I can do.

Steve

(...) No, File/New Model File. I don't usually change the names of files while working on them (I always do it outside of the programs), so I've never encountered any other problems like this. Jeff (25 years ago, 25-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
