hi,

thx for making a great tool even better. I really like the winding button and
the fakt that now you can select multiple lines and rewind them in one go!
working with the old plug-in was a lot of clicking and mouse-hoovering
(nontheless thx niels for the greatest plug-in of all)! unfortunately:

* drag'n'drop is not working properly. actually it makes it almost impossible to
work with the new version and I switched back to 1.4 waiting for the final
release. the cursor is sometimes showed as "arrow" sometimes as "fill in". then
again it changes and you don't have the slightest clue why.

I'm not sure what you mean by Drag 'N Drop.  Could you elaborate more?

* where's the check-button to switch on the line numbers?

Again, I not sure what you mean.

* "check for errors" sometimes finds deliberately inserted "bad vertice
sequences", sometimes not. most of the time it doesn't.

Hmm...  I have a look at it.  I pretty much just ported the code from L3Check to
Delphi.

* it's no longer possible to select a line by clicking in front of the linetype
number.

* the gray seperator which was useful to determ the lenght of a certain type of
code is no longer moveable.

I'll put this on the todo list.

* mowing from one main-menu to the next the screen flickers. (annoing and
desturbing)

I'm not getting this.  What version of Windows are you using?


* clicking the Mlcad-button the dialog says:

"File has been modified. Do you want to save and view the file file in LDView or
cancel the operation?"

LDview??? shouldn't it say MLCad?

* clicking the "cascade-button" the windows get minimised to a small bar.


Will fix these


* the "tile-button" arranges the windows vertically instead of horizontally.


Well, tile does just that, it tiles.  I think the graphic for the tile button is
misleading.


suggestion:

* would it be possible to add the "User Details" (taken from
Edit/Option/User/User Details for Macros) also to the "Update Header" Example:

0 2003-08-02 My Name - Update description


By convention, we use initials only.  I feel that LDDP should follow this
convention


* a function which compares the content of two files by marking the differences.


This would be very hard to do.  I suggest WinMerge if you want this ability.


* autofix for "vertices not coplanar" (again)


Not really possible as not all of these error are cause by the same thing.


* MLCads select- equal-parts or select-equal-colors-button. say select all
triangels or all quads or linetype 1 or 2. selects every codeline which would
put out "red" ...


I don't think this is possible but I'll look into it.


* a sorting-function. sorts all triangles or quads starting from -z to +z and +y
to -y    or    +x to -x and -z to +z     or ...


Good suggestion.



Thanks again for the feedback, it can only make this program better.
