Steve (and authors of .MPD utilities), Could a utility to build and unpack .mpd files be integrated into LDAO? I fear that unless we make it as easy to create an .mpd file as it is to inline submodels, the .mpd format will not reach (almost) (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Good point John. What about making LDAO plugin-based so people can write utilities for it and install them as plugins? This would allow for more than just MPD being integrated - people could use whatever util written in plugin format in LDAO. (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

LDAO actually is quite good for adding utilities. It's not that hard a process, but it is an additional barrier. Having some of the most important utilities come "standard" with LDAO would be great. For example: I know that setting up L3P to work (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

It wouldn't be too hard for utility writers to write code to add their tool to LDAO. They just need to add a few settings to c:\windows\ldraw.ini. Let's see here... First, they need to create a new section for their tool: [My LDraw Tool] (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Yes. Or I could just add the functions to LDAO as a set of internal tools (like the inliner and outliner are). (...) That would be sad. (...) Would it help to replace (or enhance) the Tool Manager with a Tool Wizard, to walk people through the (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Steve, How about posting your ldraw.ini file? I assume you have most of the common utilities set up, and probably lots of cool views, too. -John Van (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually, I just wiped out my system, so my ldraw.ini is a bit bare. I haven't even put in a tool to open an Explorer window on ldraw\. I'll see what I can do in the next day or two. Steve (25 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
