Yes, I like it. However, is it different from the way we decided
to number the search paths? Last I remember, we decided to stick
them in the generic [LDraw] section and number them like this.
[LDraw]
LdrawSearch01=<HIDE>C:\LDrawXtra\MyPrims\In Work
LdrawSearch02=C:\LDrawXtra\MyParts\In Work
Do generic config settings used by all apps belong in the generic
[LDraw] section as well?

Me too, but I had to put that idea out there just in case...

| (...) Err, I missed that point in the search path discussion - or I would have recommended putting them in a different section. If [configurations] is too generic, then how about [LDraw.configurations]? Steve (20 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
