Im glad that Bricksmith can make use of them. Does it have a UI to add
new directories to the part search path?
|
Nope, so I had feared it might not be able to access them. However, Ive
checked and Unofficial is hard-coded as the unofficial parts directory
name (in Source/Other/MacLDraw.h, for those following along at home). You
can set the LDraw directory, of course, so it will just look for an
Unofficial directory within that.
|
Interesting. I wonder if it was just a coincidence that we both chose the
same hard-coded directory for Unofficial parts, or if Bricksmiths author
saw that I had used it. I suspect the former, since LDView didnt work on
the Mac.
|
Yeah, LDraw/Unofficial just seemed like the logical choice. That was
feature that went nowhere, though. I never even documented it, because I
didnt think anyone else supported it. (L3P?) I really wish LDraw would
define a standard Unofficial parts folder. Right now I just set the Finders
label color to red for any unofficial parts and then blithely dump them in my
LDraw folder. Allen

So far, we have maintained the old DOS convention of max. 8 chars and no SPACE
used in folder names. I realize that fewer and fewer programs and utils are made
in DOS evironments, maybe Im the only to still make quick n dirty programs in
Borland TC++ or in its likeness.
But yet, I havent heard anyting of letting go of the standrad either.
My question is: Do we still maintain the DOS naming convention in LDraw?
