"Franklin W. Cain" <fwcain@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:GuzKxp.Gyy@lugnet.com... (...) whom? (...) Won't 9 letter filenames cause problems with LDraw? Dan (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) Yes, it will. Jacob (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) Yes, but there is an acceptable alternative naming convention for patterned subparts (see How are subparts numbered? in (URL) ---> s\3626baS9 s\3626bpS9b ---> s\3626bbS9 etc. Chris (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) And that's how I renamed these files. parts\s\3626ps9a.dat ---> parts\s\3626basa.dat parts\s\3626ps9b.dat ---> parts\s\3626bbsa.dat Steve (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) Yes, it will. I made a mistake. I've manually changed these subfiles to more acceptable names: s\3626pSA1 and s\3626pSA2. Steve, please delete the old, obsolete versions of these subfiles. Thanks, Franklin (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
[sigh]... I just made *another* mistake. >:-( I forgot that I wanted to fix a mis-match, so I've just had to re-(re)-name the "Lobot" files. The *proper* versions are: 3626bpsc, s\3626psc1, and s\3626psc2. Any previous version is now obsolete, and (...) (22 years ago, 23-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) Franklin and everyone: Please do *not* attempt to 'rename' files on the Parts Tracker. I have a simple script set up to handle renames. If you upload duplicate of files under new names, you'll make more work for me, and add to the level of (...) (22 years ago, 24-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) Steve, I asked you to fix the mis-match w/ the "Old Ben Kenobi" face pattern. You refused, claiming that having a "~moved to" file would add to "clutter". I've fixed it myself, by uploading a new pattern, the "Gasganno" face pattern, as a new (...) (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
PS, As a reminder, we have to release a new version of the "old Ben Kenobi" face pattern, because there's a flaw with the version currently released to the field (the discs and non-discs for the eyes)... Franklin (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) Franklin, As I notified you via email, your privileges to submit parts and post reviews on the Parts Tracker have been temporarily suspended. This is a direct result of your actions in posting 3626bps4.dat and 3626bps6.dat. For the time being, (...) (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)  
 
  rebuttal...
 
(This is a copy of my reply to Steve...) Steve, As I mentioned to you on several occasions, I wanted to fix this problem with the mis-match of the pattern numbers. As I mentioned to you on several occasions, I am the type of person, who, when he (...) (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: rebuttal...
 
(...) Hello Franklin, Hello Steve, I pray so that you stay or return to concordance. I can not imagine LDraw without you. I am sure there is nothing personal so there must be a way back to a friendly cooperative work. The Part Tracker would have no (...) (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: rebuttal...
 
(...) I'm only replying here. I'm going to post two replies, one addressing the current issue, the second to address Franklin's charges against me. (...) I understand your position. I also pointed out to you that 'fixing' this problem would cause (...) (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) Please Steve, Motivate the suspension as a reviewer. Suspension as a submitter MAY be necessary to keep control. Suspension as a reviewer clearly ressembles a sanction. What posted review justifies this sanction? Best regards, Damien (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: rebuttal...
 
(...) This is my second reply, covering some side points Franklin brought up. (...) Yes, that's true. There's one from January, two from February, and 12 from March. To be exact, there are 10 files which are currently waiting for admin review, and (...) (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) The main reason for suspending review privileges is simplicity - I just pulled all privileges. I hope we'll get this worked out quickly, and get back on the road. I *definitely* do not want to lose Franklin as a contributor; he is too valuable (...) (22 years ago, 25-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: rebuttal...
 
Since I was appealed to in Franklin's email and post, I am adding my comments in reply to some of the posts here. Steve knows this, but it might not be public knowledge -- I do not get involved in the trenches when it comes to parts. Steve has (...) (22 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)  
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) Cool! I have no idea what the nature of the dispute is, but I do know that it must be an essentially thankless task to be the administrator of the parts updates and that it may seem like an anonymous task to be a parts author. I just hope (...) (22 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: [Parts Tracker] Re-numbering "Star Wars" patterns...
 
(...) :p That animation is older than the minifig parts. As is the animated file on this page: (URL) (well, ok, that is older than *some* of the minifig parts). Steve (22 years ago, 29-Apr-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  PT Privileges Restored
 
FYI to all: Franklin's privileges on the Parts Tracker have been restored in full. Steve (22 years ago, 6-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
