From your discussion on how LPub operates, it generates a lot more files
than I realized (I never thought about generating the .dat files for the BOM
elements, etc.). However, I think that if it isn't a significant amount of
work, exposing all of the generated file names would be a good idea.
Certainly access to the generated POV files is needed. My original request
to be able to script LPub came from a desire to touch all of the generated
POV files (I wanted to swap out the lighting block for an include file I
use) prior to them being rendered.

You are absolutely right, I use multiple instances of the same sub-model all
the time. I probably should have called it something like
lpubGetInstanceHierarchyLevel where the term Instance indicates that it is
the current instance being operated on.

That probably makes sense. My example was intended to exhibit something I
might do, not exactly how it would be done - that will be dependent on what
the final implementation of LPub provides. Your recent article on how LPub
really operates (what it does at each step) was very enlightening, thanks
for sharing that level of detail.

Excellent. Again, I appreciate your willingness to listen to your user
base.
