1. Problem with selection: selection menu shows checkboxes for line/triangle... etc. They should act as filters, but if you uncheck "lines", select a triangle, and use "select connected" the lines connected are selected, too.
   
2. Flipper: Condlines are "not recalculated" so their control points are wrong after flipping.
   
3. If you hide a primitive preceded by an INVERTNEXT, this INVERTNEXT remains active and inverts all elements until an other primitive is encountered.
   
4. Select the last line in text editor by clicking on line number, and if that last line has no CRLF behind, then the last two characters of the line are not selected.
   

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".

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.
