Thanks. That's a good idea. I'll have to think about it, though. Up until
now, I have purposely avoided creating any LDView-specific meta-commands. On
the other hand, this would be one of the few reasons that might convince me that
an LDView-specific meta-command would be a good idea. (I'm generally against
program-specific meta-commands, except when they are absolutely necessary, and
even this instance might not be a strong enough case in the favor of an
LDView-specific meta-command.)
Additionally, this won't provide any added functionality to 99% of my users over
a check-box that causes LDView to override the default colors with its internal
ones, and only use ldconfig.ldr colors for colors it doesn't know about. It
would allow the other 1% of my users to go in and modify the file, but I really
don't see many users doing that, especially when the file could change with each
LDView release.
