There are some additional features that would be nice:

* The ability to customize each label treatment.  For example, part 6056 won't
  fit on any label I would use unless it's rotated horizontal, but that would
  look strange for other parts.  Since Parts Catalog always starts using the
  labels in the upper right hand corner, I can't just use different
settings and
  feed the paper through the printer multiple times[1].  [2]

i just finished adding the ability to pick which label to start printing
on.  so it does not always start with the upper right hand corner.  so now
you should be able to print 1 label anywhere on the page.

i will upload this change and any others i make later on today.



* The ability to indicate multiple parts on a label.  Also, to one part
pictured
  but with colors indicated across the top (maybe a continuum for all colors,
  and discrete color bars for a limited choice of colors?[3]).

humm . . . multiple part, i will have to think about how to do this.  i
really like your multiple parts suggestion #2 bellow.  i thought about
color indicators.  i think i can do that.


* The ability to use Parts Catalog's usual alternatives (.jpgs, .gifs, .pngs)
  when LDraw images aren't available.

yeah i just have not got around to it yet.  this should be easy to do.  i
have had another request to render the parts using pov-ray.  i have to
learn how to use pov-ray first but it seams like it would be doable for
those who want to have some really high quality labels.


Thanks again for a great extension to a great program!

[1] Well, I can do it twice. . .

[2] Now that I think of it, it would be kinda clever if, when you're
making the
inventory that will yield the labels, the QTY field could specify which
label on
the sheet that part should go on.  That might even be a good way to get
multiple
parts on one label. . .

[3] In other words, like Onyx

Parts Catalog 0.0.37 can now make labels for your part bins. i just finished adding label printing to Parts Catalog.
