Hi Anders!

I  have been using ldlist quite a bit lately, and had few suggestions
(hopefully new ones):

It would be nice if the program remembered its last state when starting. I like
to use it full screen, with 2x magnification, and it sure would be nice to have
it come up that way by default.

It would be great to have the behavior of the "Search for:" box selectable
between "find everything" and "exact match"
When you type 'plate' if would be nice to be able to exclude all the
baseplates. And if you put 'plate  1 x  2' it would be great to just be
presented with the 1x2 plates.

You know how when in Windows Explorer you pass your mouse over a directory name
in the left pane, and if the name is too long to fit in the pane a little
pop-up label appears to show the full name?
Would that be possible to do in the left pane of ldlist?  Some part names are
too long for the full name to appear in the pane.

And lastly, would it be possible to be able to CTRL-C the highlited part name
into the Windows Clipboard?  (not a pressing need, just something I would find
occasionally useful)

And thanks for such a great little tool.  :-)

  Small search program for LDRAW parts
 
Hi all! I have made a small program, to help me search through the LDRAW parts. It scans the PARTS directory, and collects all the description lines (first line) to a private data file (A scan is only needed when the parts have been updated). Then I (...) (25 years ago, 19-Jan-99, to lugnet.cad)
