  Re: IMPORTANT - [ldraw.org] Official Model Repository
 
(...) Why can't someone temporarily renamed a file to an 8.3 name while working on it in LEdit, but keep the names in a non-DOS format for storage and publishing? Or what if it were possible to use subdirectories? Then it could be 8.3 and not 8.3, (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: IMPORTANT - [ldraw.org] Official Model Repository
 
We MUST keep it in 8+3 format because SOME PEOPLE still do use LEdit, and if you don't have the files in 8+3 format you can't use the files. I think that the way something like the Mos Espa set should be done is like this(I don't have the set so (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: IMPORTANT - [ldraw.org] Official Model Repository
 
(...) Bram, I think that's definitely on the right track! (At least with the double- and triple-letter combinations.) A great example of double-lettering is the 7171 Mos Espa Podrace™ set -- each of the three submodels of 7171 has itself three (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Is the 8.3 requirement a legacy thing left over from LDraw & LEdit being DOS applications? What programs in LDraw lore -don't- work on longer filenames? --Todd (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) What about things like this?-- (2 URLs) one was released in '81 and looks like it has 3 submodels. Second one was released in '98 and looks like it has 1 submodel. Or what about this?-- (2 URLs) like the first one has instructions for at least (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) or would it (...) I just do it as SXXXXa.dat That seems slear enough to me. Also one other thing is that someone say does an airport, SXXXX-YY is going to have just submodels, no parts, and then the submodels would be MPDed. Example SXXXX-YY (...)

  Re: IMPORTANT - [ldraw.org] Official Model Repository
 
(...) This is a complex issue. The thing is, what is easy to click together with Lego could be difficult with LDraw. I would say LDraw uses submodels much more often than Lego would in its instructions. Say for example an angled wing assembly like (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
