Why *not* accept long filenames for model names? I think that the current
generation of tools (LDLite, MLCad, etc.) are sufficiently good enough --
and we don't necessarily want to restrict Un*x and Mac users as well. I'm a
die-hard LEdit bigot, but with the latest version of MLCad, I've been
finding myself using LEdit less and less.
However, I feel that the core LDraw parts library should be kept with 8.3
filenames, since LDraw/Ledit is still so useful for parts authoring.
Just my .02 Rupees...

| (...) LDraw and LEdit can't read MPD files without first splitting them, so I see no reason to limit MPD filenames to 8.3. Long filenames will be much more readable and easier to organize, which is what we're looking for in filenames for OMR models. (...) (23 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
