Hello,
here's my experience with LDView v0.7.

This version contains my inital attempt at fullscreen support.  It works on
my video card (nVidia TNT-based), but I do not own any other OpenGL-capable
video cards on which to test it.  If you are worried about having it
crash/lock your machine or mess up your desktop, I would advise against
trying the new fullscreen feature.  (I don't THINK it will crash or lock up
your computer, but it may strand you in fullscreen mode, although I
certainly hope not.)

I have a Diamond Monster Voodoo2. The program works great in a normal windowed
mode. It may be running through my normal AGP(S3 Virge Gx2). The full screen
feature crashed the program, with no noticable problems with Windows(98se). It
gave me an error about not being able to initalize the OpenGL drivers, or mode
or something.  I was sitting looking at a grey screen until I pressed ESC.
then my normal desktop was restored.


I also added the ability to drag 'n' drop a DAT/MPD file onto the program
window in order to open it, as well as dropping one onto the program icon in
order to launch the program with that file.  In addition, I added
scroll-wheel support as an alternate way to zoom in/out.

Great feature, I love it!

Note that the fullscreen code is substantially different from the code which
was included in my fullscreen test program.  I would greatly appreciate it
if you would let me know if the fullscreen mode works for you, along with
what OS/video card combination you have.  I have directed replies to this
post to the lugnet.cad.dev group to avoid an inappropriate thread in the
lugnet.cad group.

Any other comments suggestions are also welcomed.
I have noticed some black quads, or triangles on one of my parts in the
current update vote. 30201.dat, bottom surface, you might check it out too. It
doesn't show up like that anywhere else.
I have noticed some primitives showing up as a different shade. I
have "Enabled, High quality, Specular highlight, Lines-Draw edges, Lines-High
quality, and misc-high quality studs" turned on. Let me know if I need to send
you a picture of this.

All in all,
I am still impressed! Great job!
