    Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames) —Rui Manuel Silva Martins
   (...) Are you sure that was the problem, because Ledit runs on DOS, which doesn't care on filename case, it's case-insensitive, so it should always work in DOS. Rui Martins (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
   
        Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames) —Fredrik Glöckner
     (...) This is a special LEdit feature, not related to DOS at all. If the STUD.DAT filename is uppercase, it is always displayed like a full stud in LEdit, even if the user chooses to have "line for stud" to save rendering time. Fredrik (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames) —Rui Manuel Silva Martins
      (...) So this is not a problem, just change the primitive file "stud.dat" to "stud.DAT" (according to what I have previously proposed), and if the user wants (or not) to draw the studs, he will change the "line for stud" option of Ledit. P.S. Just (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames) —Don Heyse
     (...) Hmmm, tell me more about this. Do you mean the studs are fully drawn if the file MYBRICK.DAT includes STUD.DAT, but not if it includes stud.dat? Is there any other unusual behavior triggered by case inside the DAT files? Does someone have (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

     Don Heyse: (...) My preference is all lower-case (mostly from an aesthetic point of view), which generally is more readable than upper-case. (...) I don't think it would be difficult to switch this to lower-case (if I can convince you guys to agree (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
    
         Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames) —Don Heyse
      (...) If you go way back to the beginning of this thread you'll see that my PERSONAL preference is also lower case, because it's easier to type, easier to read, etc. But I seem to recall a debate a while ago about the rights to distribute modified (...)

          CASE style in filenames (was Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames) —Rui Manuel Silva Martins
       I have given up on my CASE-SENSITIVE choice, and I now have a Summary of all this talk, with some taughs in the middle. Apart from visual aspect, all files should (not MUST) be UPPERCASE. for compatibility issues, because: - MSDOS keeps the files in (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

          Re: Ldlite for OpenGL and Linux (and uppercase filenames) —Don Heyse
      I'm not quite sure where I left off in this discussion, so I suppose this is as good a place as any for an update. I just hooked up ldglite to Netscape in linux by adding the MIME type "application/x-ldraw" and setting the app to (...) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

    (...) What I meant was this: normally ledit shoes studs as lines, right. Several files were changed to uppercase so that ledit would not do the substitution and show the studs. -- Jonathan Wilson wilsonj@xoommail.com (URL) (25 years ago, 20-Jan-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
