OK folks!
Version 3.5 of LDLIST is available for download at
http://user.tninet.se/~hbh828t/ldlist.zip
<BLURB>
Summary:
Ldlist is a little Windows program made for searching the available
LDRAW .DAT files. Combined with a built-in piece preview, it's a
fast way to find that brick, whatever it's name, number, description,
CATEGORY or KEYWORDS.
You can for example enter 'roof glass', and immediately see the
results:
2348B.DAT Car Roof 4 x 4 Sunroof Glass with Ridges
2348A.DAT Car Roof 4 x 4 Sunroof Glass with Ridges
4448.DAT Window 4 x 4 x 3 Roof Glass
If You click on one of the result lines, a preview of that brick will
be drawn.
The search is incremental (as soon as You write a letter, You only see
those bricks that match), and is (at least on my machine)
instantaneous.
By starting the search string with a " (double quote), You will only
see bricks with an exact match, spaces included.
New in version 3.5:
- Sorts descriptions beginning with '~' or '_' to the end
of the list
- Scans the .dat files for KEYWORDS and CATEGORY lines, and
adds those to it's 'internal data base' (ie. the file
'ldrawlist.txt').
- Even if you already use a previous version of the program,
you have to do a re-scan to get the new facilities.
Acknowledgments:
LDLIST would not have been possible without Paul Gyugyi's Ldlite!
Warning:
As my port of Ldlite is a bit dated (and not completely correct!),
some memory leaks are still there, so if You use LDLIST full screen
for a while, Your swap file may get a bit large. Just exit LDLIST and
restart...
</BLURB>
Well, that's about it... What are You waiting for? Go get it.
