It's funny (after all that time with partBin definitions someone comes with a two-click solution and Murphy laughs) but very helpful. I do not need to transfer my partBin files to new LDCad versions, just click twice. Thanks, Philippe!

did you change something in regard of the LDraw path? Despite the fact that I write the LDraw path in the AIOI via the main.cfg I've got a pop-up at the first launch. Could it be because of the zipped/unzipped version of the library? If so, just let me know what has to be done to point to the complete.zip in the LDraw root folder (as I did for LeoCAD).

Thanks, this is what I installed. I see some changes in part bin structure but snapping is still missing for new parts. For example 24299 (missing antistuds on bottom).
And I was surprised the zip file contains .sf files for seeds/ directory only, I expected an update of shadow/ directory as well - this is how I came up with (probably wrong) assumption the snap info is not a part of that .zip file and I need to get an extra update... ?

That package contains shadow.sf which is the seed for snapping info.

Yes. I can look into them on filesystem - like into any other zip file. And I see that shadow.cf contains 24299.dat file with the snap definition I'd expect (two antistuds at part bottom). But after I put all these .sf files into seeds/ subdirectory and start LdCAD, I see no antistuds there for part 24299. Checked with "show snap info" function (F12).
Is there any special action I need to do? Or LdCAD setting?

I expect that it starts to work when I extract .csl file from the .sf file manually and put it into shadow/ directory (replace the old/original version of the same file). But why it does not work with seeds/ directly?

If you have an invalid path set for the shadow library of the official library, LDCad crashes with no error upon navigating to parts bin where an official file thumbnail is generated.

What filename were you using? as I can't get it to crash by setting non existing shadow locations, also the log reported a "could not locate ...." in such cases.
I also tried setting a non zip as a csl but gives only gives a "invalid zip file" message dialog without.

It's doing weird things with the shadows and it almost looks like the part is some kind of metallic, but it's just standard LBG like the other parts in the image.
