I really like the idea of using subdirectories. It will keep the \models
directory uncluttered and be easy to understand. Now you still have to
deal subassemblies in the directory system. Would you name them:
m1-a.dat 1st component of first main model
m1-aa.dat 1st sub-component of 1st component of first main model
m2-a.dat 1st component of second main model
a1-a.dat 1st component of first alterante model
I think that allows for enough levels of components and sub-components
while staying within the 8.3 limitations and not going overboard with the
sub-directories.
Now we should really test how well sub-directories work with the
current software and how to handle them correctly.
For example, if main1.dat calls m1-a.dat, should the reference be:
1 ... sets\xxxxz-yy\m1-a.dat
or
1 ... m1-a.dat
?
How necessary is the sets\ directory? Do we want to just go with
c:\ldraw\models\xxxxz-yy\
to keep things simpler, or will that put too many directories in the
models\ directory?
