This would definitely be a move in the wrong direction, unless there also
continued to be an option to continue to see the whole list on one page.
Quite aside from the hassle of having to page through material, the Parts
Tracker is where unofficial files live. Thus, if someone wants to find
out if a part is out there but unofficial, the method is to go the the
parts list and use your browser's "search in page" function.
For example, someone recently needed a .dat of an unofficial part (40902,
I think) right away for some commissioned work. I was able to quickly
find it by going to the list and searching for "hinge". Anyone could do
this. If the list were forced into pages, finding that part would have
been much more difficult, and people not intimately familiar with the
Tracker and/or LDraw nomenclature might well have given up, either
believing that the .dat did not exist or not wanting to bother with the
trouble.
