OK folks! Version 3.4 of LDLIST is available for download at http://user.tninet.se/~hbh828t/ldlist.zip <BLURB> Summary: Ldlist is a little Windows program made for searching the available LDRAW .DAT files. Combined with a built-in piece preview, it's a fast way to find that brick, whatever it's name, number or description. You can for example enter 'roof glass', and immediately see the results: 2348B.DAT Car Roof 4 x 4 Sunroof Glass with Ridges 2348A.DAT Car Roof 4 x 4 Sunroof Glass with Ridges 4448.DAT Window 4 x 4 x 3 Roof Glass If You click on one of the result lines, a preview of that brick will be drawn. The search is incremental (as soon as You write a letter, You only see those bricks that match), and is (at least on my machine) instantaneous. By starting the search string with a " (double quote), You will only see bricks with an exact match, spaces included. News in version 3.4: - Stores all settings in LDRAW.INI - size, view, scale - You can use all the views You have set up in LDRAW.INI (You can still use the old way of setting views for ldlist) - CTRL-C copies the currently selected brick text to the Clipboard (What are You going to use that for, Terry?) Acknowledgments: LDLIST would not have been possible without Paul Gyugyi's Ldlite! Warning: As my port of Ldlite is a bit dated (and not completely correct!), some memory leaks are still there, so if You use LDLIST full screen for a while, Your swap file may get a bit large. Just exit LDLIST and restart... </BLURB> Well, that's about it... What are You waiting for? Go get it. -- Anders Isaksson, Sweden BlockCAD: http://user.tninet.se/~hbh828t/proglego.htm Gallery: http://user.tninet.se/~hbh828t/gallery.htm

OK two issues for me. I unzipped the program and it said, " No LDRAWLIST.TXT file found. Press SCAN to generate it." I went to the file menu and selected "Scan". It created the file, but the file was empty. I figured I could just rename the (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) When people ask questions here or on RTL or email, and I need to reference a part in LDraw. I am too lazy to memorize and type the whole name. :-) I also bugged Steve about breaking that (unintentional) feature in LDAO's VEC window. So, seeing (...) (25 years ago, 13-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Put it in ldraw.ini. Part of the reason I used that filename in LDAO is because I figured we could all share it. Steve (25 years ago, 11-Feb-99, to lugnet.cad)
