  Re: IMPORTANT - [ldraw.org] Official Model Repository
 
A couple thoughts on Repository format: Purpose for .dat repository: If all we are creating is an alternate way of creating instructions, I think it's probably more work than it's worth. The beauty of the LDraw .dat file is that it can be configured (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  LDraw and 8.3
 
(...) Hmm. LDAO is OK with long file names, except for a few functions (Copy File is one, I think) which explicitly require a valid 8.3 name. LDAO can be configured to translate long paths/names to short versions before shelling to other programs. (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: AUTHORS subdirectory?
 
(...) Very good thought. As we discover the possiblities with subdirectories in LDraw, this is a very good idea for us to use. You are implying that people who obtain each author's dat files would put them in the same directory structure, right? (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  OMR FILENAMES - Decision Time
 
I feel it is time to take what we have discussed and bring it all together to reach a final resolution on the filename format. Soon. In summary, we have discussed how to make an 8.3 only system of filenames, a long filename system, and a system (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: IMPORTANT - [ldraw.org] Official Model Repository
 
(...) I'm fairly certain that LDraw and LEdit weren't written with subdirs in mind... LEdit doesn't even check if a filename is valid before saving.
