Mmhhh... (3) and (4) seem to work fine now, but I see no change for (1) and (2) ?!?

I had no need for this feature in-between, but it seems that these fields are still limited to 4 decimal places, clearly not enough...

It is easy to increase the decimal places for a given field.

• ...set the maximum amount of custom colours.
  
• ...export the colour palette (*_pal.dat)
  
• ...import the colour palette (*_pal.dat)
  
• ...reset the colour palette.
  
• ...see only the 3D editor on start / "new.dat" is virtual and not a critical "unsaved" file.

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.

Since a few days, I cannot start LDPE on any of my machines? I tried three, where it was working before, now, nada. I got the cmd window pop-up that disappears almost immediately, then nothing.

Were there recommendations to limit Java permissions or did MS patch something....

Thanks for your help & Merry Christmas!

Thanks Gerald!
I found a temporary workaround. Delete your user configuration file config.gz from the LDPE folder.
When you start LDPE again, you have to configure your LDraw path etc. for one time, again.

More in-depth info: Unfortunately, I can't detect the real root cause of this issue yet.
LDPE loaded an UserSettingState object at startup and failed. The logger tried to log the problem but was unable to, because it needed a locale setting for logging (and this setting is stored in the UserSettingState object).

How can I fix this / is there a 0.8.52 download somewhere?

Nevermind.  I found and tried an older version and had the same problem.  I also noticed the little splash window for Excel was tiny, so I tweaked my display settings and fixed the problem.

(2022-09-16, 17:16)Nils Schmidt Wrote: Hi,

short answer: no, unfortunately.
A file was created and it was saved in the default location.
This location is
%appdata%\LDPartEditor\ldparteditor-temp-project\parts

Currently, the contents of this folder are deleted on application restart!
This seems to be a major design flaw, since new users do not know that their work is gone when they do not save the file outside of the default location!

I will try to change the behaviour so that the default location won't be recreated anymore, when it is already there.
I was not able to see this problem, because I store my files always in a dedicated "Parts Authoring" folder.
