Well, if you're really motivated you could grab the latest code from
the CVS repository on the sourceforge and build it. I added an output
filename to the -ms commandline switch for part tracker image previews
at ldraw.org. Also in the latest code is the new "improved" popup
gui. You could beta test that as well.
However, I suspect the -msFilename thing is not exactly what you want
because it doesn't allow you to spin or edit the model interactivly
before writing the image file. I don't think it would be too difficult
to do what you want though. Or would you prefer a popup window to
prompt for a filename?
