Maybe I'm just too old, but I have some issues with the new forum... 

I think a button labeled "New Topic" would be nice.  The current name of that button (I can't see it now and can't remember what it was) is not informative.  At the very least it should include the word "new".

Would it be possible to access the weekly postings list without having to log in first?  A button near the mysterious "Portal" button would be nice.

The insert a link button always seems to put the link at the beginning of my post, no matter where I've positioned the cursor.  Same for some of the other buttons.

When I attempt to move something that was incorrectly placed at the beginning of the post, It erases everything else in the post.  

That's it for now.  Thanks,

Don

Hello!

My weekend begins... and here is LDPartEditor 0.8.9...


As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:
(6 new features and 8 bug fixes, 1 critical)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...get a standard file header on any new *.dat file.
  
• ...benefit from a better performing colour change and BFC swap in the text editor.
  
• ...benefit from a little bit faster render engine (depends on the 3D settings).
  
• ...shutdown LDPE quicker. LDPE does not ask you for unsaved projects anymore.
  
• ...see "Ctrl+Click" hints on button tooltips (only for modifiable functions, e.g. "Round")
  
• ...get lowercase folders names in the project structure.
  

1. Risk of data loss: "Delete" in the text editor with no selected text threw an exception.
   
2. The pipette copied the RGBA values from an overwritten colour 16.
   
3. The subfile-compiler did not support "s\" sub-parts on linux.
   
4. "Save As..." did not use the lowercase "s\" prefix for subfile names.
   
5. "New Project" created a folder in the application directory.
   
6. Shaders did not compile on Intel HD Graphics.
   
7. The rubber band selection got cleared if the selection process was computationally intensive.
   
8. Opening a file in the 3D editor was not sychronised with the part tree on the left.
   

1. Download the zip-Archive
   
2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
   
3. On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LDPE.
   
4. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.
   

1. On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
   
2. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

Related to what Philippe reported but I do not want to "hijack" his topic so I add the new one.

I want the function usual all other forums I know: posts not read yet by me. Plus option "mark as read", of course. Of course I mean links to post and not threads, as Philippe already wrote.
EDIT: better said: a link to the first unread post in each thread.

So I can easily see what's new for me. Then open those I want to read, mark the rest as read and "have a clean table" for  the next time.

Is this possible?

The thing I really miss in the new forum is the "view recent posts" I had previously. The "view new posts" is much too volatile (if you get interrupted before seeing everything, you lose the rest). "View Today's Posts" is a bit better, but has still short memory. For a forum like this with relatively low volume, it could easily span several days (or more on several pages).

But what I miss even more in "view new posts" and "View Today's Posts" is to be able to directly see posts and not threads! Here I am sure to miss valuable contributions. I searched in settings, but found nothing to improve this behaviour.

A summation of bug reports and feature requests.
Please do not reply to this topic with suggestions. Instead post them as a separate topic.

Bugs:

None (yet)

Todo:

• Site Icons for titles and groups
  
• Thread prefixes (i.e. Solved or LDView)
  
• Update Hybrid-Thread view into its own option instead of replacing the linear view (Will not be implemented)
  

Hi.

Is there someone who can get this part from the LDD? Panda head

I have tried to use the converter program, but it is not successful for me.

Is LD4D Studio still available and viable? I'm having trouble downloading it due to security.
Thanx,
Ed

Hi,

I would be glad if someone could explain me LDPE's project concept and it's usefulness. Since I usually just open/save .dats I never came across the moment I would not have clicked away that "Save project dialog".

The new forums are up for previewing at:
http://beta.ldraw.org/mybb/

The intent of the preview period is to find things that didn't convert well. This is not a live copy of the current forums but a static snapshot from a few hours ago. Anything you post will be wiped out when the actual conversion happens.

Please post bug reports as replies to this thread.

I am currently creating some stickers for models I own, I want to share some but where to upload these? MOC or Official Models? Somewhere else or just upload them to the parts tracker?
