I like the LDSDF_SKIP bit-flag but I don't think we need to add a
parameter to to LDrawIniComputeRealDirs(). Here's why. The parameter
would make it all or nothing for skipped dirs. I'd rather toggle the
LDSDF_SKIP bit-flags of some of the directories myself before calling
LDrawIniComputeRealDirs(), because I envision the need for several
distinct groups of skip dirs. Imagine some skip dirs are sorted into
groups by the "unknown" flags:
<group unofficial>
<group bfc>
<group boxes>
<group clones>
Maybe I should be really specific and call them skipgroups. I don't
know yet. Anyhow, I can easily imagine a scenario where I want to
temporarily enable the unofficial parts, but not the rest.
The only problem with my new approach is I have to remember which
directories I toggled the bit-flag in so I can undo it later. Yeah, I
know the original information is still in the private data. Perhaps
instead of a global parameter, you could add another bit-flag for each
directory called LDSF_INCLUDE_SKIP that I could toggle before calling
LDrawIniComputeRealDirs(). Then I could write a quick function to
clear all the LDSF_INCLUDE_SKIP flags, before I set the ones I want
(if any) and call LDrawIniComputeRealDirs().
