| Extra search directories not working? |
|

I have a number of extra search directories set in my preferences, but LDView does not appear to be searching them so all those parts are missing. I know the directories are valid because if I set one of them as the main ldraw library, its parts (and only its parts) will appear just fine. Have I forgotten to tick a simple box somewhere, or is something amiss?
This is LDView 4.4.1 on MacOS by the way.

All,
A new Contributor's agreement has been agreed upon by the SteerCo. The text is as follows:
Quote:By submitting work ("the Work") to The LDraw Organization ("LDraw.org"), the submitter ("the Author"), agrees to release the Work under the Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 International License ("CC BY 4.0").
The human readable and legal text of the CC BY 4.0 license can be found at this link:
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
If you are reading this, you have, at a minimum, Parts Tracker submit privileges. While it is not required, I ask that all of you email [email protected] with the following:
"I accept the LDraw.org Contributor's Agreement dated 23-Feb-2022 with regards to all past and future contributions I make to LDraw.org".
There is some documentation and coding to do so the expected implementation of the CC BY 4.0 license will be the May or July update. I will not be suspending accounts or anything like that to enforce agreement (although expect an email nag from me if I don't hear from you) as the CC BY 2.0 is fine for us but it has some legal baggage that we want to avoid hence the revision.
Thank you and thank you for making the LDraw library what it is.

| 1.8.54 Beta Released (bugfixes / no Java / new installers) |
|

Hey,
this version comes with new installers and does not need a Java installation anymore.
It also improves the compatibility with Mac OS X and Linux.
Please uninstall the previous LDPartEditor version, before installing version 1.8.54.
LDPE uses now a very modern technology stack (self-contained Java 17).
![[Image: attachment.php?aid=12753]](https://forums.ldraw.org/attachment.php?aid=12753)
As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/
Changelog:
(2 new features and 2 bug fixes)
With this release you will be able to...
- ...use installers of LDPartEditor for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X (without the need to install Java)
- ...see more digits (at least 4 decimal places) on the protractor and the distance meter.
The following critical issues were fixed:
- "Set X/Y/Z (for Selection)" loaded always the vertex from the clipboard if there was one vertex stored in it.
- Outdated UI libraries for Mac OS X were updated.
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, it is still a beta version and something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.
Installation on Windows:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
- Run LDPartEditor-1.8.54.msi
- Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
Installation on Linux:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
- Install ldparteditor_1.8.54-1_amd64.deb
- Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher
Installation on Mac OS X:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
- Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.54.dmg
- Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
- Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor
Please note that this software is in the beta stage. Although, this version was tested, there are already known issues for this release. There is a potential risk of data loss.
I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.
LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.
System Requirements:
Minimum System Requirements:
- OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
- Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
- CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
- RAM: 4GB
- Video-Memory: 1 GB
- Free Disk Space: 100 MB
Recommended Requirements:
- Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
- OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
- CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
- RAM: >4 GB
- Video-Memory: >1 GB
- Free Disk Space: 512 MB
- For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.

| HISTORY lines and the CC BY 2.0 |

I'm going to become much more of a stickler about HISTORY lines. If you have a submit on a part and you are not the author there must be at least 1 HISTORY line with your username. This is a CC BY 2.0 requirement that we must abide by. Submissions that fail to meet this criteria will be header edited or held until the submitter contacts a Header Admin for an edit.

Hello everyone:
This thread is for Lego Mindstorms NXT, NXT 2.0 and EV3 sets.
I have made several of them and posted in Eurobriks page (long time ago); I'm try to OMRize and share all of theme here, but before of doing that I've this question on Education Expansion sets: which number I need to use, since it's a two number sets and MPDCenter do not recognize the two number, just one?
Edit: As example EV3 Education Expansion 45544+45560 Elephant set.
