(...) 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)

(...) To be honest, I don't remember for sure, but I doubt it. My general standpoint on these kinds of things is that LDraw is a 3D-library, not a database. And language issues are (mostly) outside the scope of the library. However, I think Don had (...) (20 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Was there ever any discussion about internationalized versions of this file? I was thinking that we could support various languages like this: 0 !COLOUR CODE 0 VALUE #212121 EDGE 8 0 !COLOUR NAME en 0 Black 0 !COLOUR NAME fr 0 Noir 0 !COLOUR NAME de (...) (20 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Actually, if ldcfgalt.ldr contains the ldlite colors it should work quite nicely on a black background. After all, ldraw used a black background, and the ldlite colors were based on it. And to be totally honest, the default ldlite edge color (...) (20 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) 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>...MyPrims\In Work (...) (20 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) How about a ldcfgblk.ldr? For those of us who prefer to edit on a black background instead of a paper white one? I suppose the software could just swap edge=0 for edge=8 and vice versa, but what about the non-black and white edges? -Kyle (...) (20 years ago, 9-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
