I've created a simple Windows application for printing labels for
identifying Lego part storage drawers.

This program was written in under 24 hours, so the user interface isn't very
polished.  If you enter bad data, the program may crash with a cryptic error
message.

Currently the program supports over 180 Avery label templates, and the user
can customize the label layout.  If you need to print labels that don't fit
a predefined template, you can define your own by adding to the
LabelTemplates.txt file.

To use the program you will need to have the LDraw part library files
(*.dat) on your computer.

The program and screenshots of it are available at this url:

Suggestions are welcome.  I intend to improve the program as I find the time
to do so.

Doh. Already a bug sneaked through. Filenames were getting truncated on the generated labels. I've fixed the problem and uploaded a patched version. -Gary (23 years ago, 19-Aug-01, to lugnet.storage)

Great idea! Sad thing I can't start it. I don't remember these terms in English, but it is something like: Illegal function call, exception error LPLP orsakade ett undantag eedfadeH i modul <okänd> på adress 0000:00000000.

The Lego Part Label Printer (LPLP) application is almost done. Screenshots are up at (URL) just need a few more hours to add a preview mechanism and polish it up a bit. -Gary (23 years ago, 18-Aug-01, to lugnet.general)
