| LPub3D - Losing LDView as renderer |
|

Hi Trevor,
I recently reinstalled LPub3D on a clean machine via the AIOI. I then upgraded to version 2.0.20 Revision 17 Build 644 via the "Help/Check for updates ..." menu item. I have experienced an issue with changing the renderer, as described below, which I suspect is a bug. Basically, it is not remembering the change that has been made to the preferred renderer across invocations of the executable.
The steps to reproduce it (and a manual workaround which seems to support the premise that this is a bug) as far as I can remember it are as follows;
1) After the upgrade, change the rendering preference (menu item Configuration/Preferences, tabbed sheet "Rendering") setting the preferred renderer to "LDGLite". If the checkbox "LDView is installed" is checked, uncheck it. Exit LPub3D.
2) Invoke LPub3D, select the menu item Configuration/Preferences, tabbed sheet "Rendering". Check the "LDView is installed" checkbox, use the "Browse..." command button to select and set the appropriate path to LDView. Set the preferred rendered to "LDView". Exit LPub3D.
3) Invoke LPub3D, select the menu item Configuration/Preferences, tabbed sheet "Rendering". At this point, even though step 2 identified LDview as the renderer, the preferred rendered drop-down list shows LDGLite, the "LDView is installed" checkbox is unchecked and the path to LDView unpopulated. Repeating step 2 will change the renderer to LDView and it will use it for the current invocation but after exiting LPub3D, it "forgets" that LDView is the preferred renderer.
Workaround:
1) Use regedit to navigate to HKU\S-1-5-*\Software\LPub 3D Software\LPub 3D\Settings, where S-1-5-* is changed to the value appropriate to the current user.
2) Change the string value PreferredRenderer to LDView
3) Add a new string value named LDView and set it's value to the appropriate path to the LDView executable.
To my eye, the bug appears to be related to perhaps LPub3D failing to create the registry key string value as per step 3) in the workaround.
Regards,
David

| Filtering out patterned bricks |

Is there a way to do this? There's a billion varieties, an extra drilldown would probably be better than putting them all in the same category. I apologize if it's been answered before, I can't seem to find anything more than one or two references to the problem, but no solution.
And on a related note, is there a way to filter bricks by what colors they actually exist in irl?
I'm using LDCad, but if a different program has a solution I'm happy to switch.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have some interesting news: I am planning to implement an open source web-based part review/edit tool (platform independent).
This will take (again) some time, before I publish the first beta release, but I keep you informed!
In the short-term, there will be a new LDPatternCreator release soon.
LDPartEditor 0.8.32 is planned for July 2017.
Leg godt,
Nils
