In the past, the parts update process generated images of every part in every colour, at several different scales, and the pattern reference pages merely serve up the colour 7 versions. Since we implemented a complete LDconfig file and with the growth in the library, the LDraw server lacks the disk space to accommodate them all. Last time I tried to run that step of the update, the filesystem filled, so that step is no longer run. Nobody at peeron has ever contacted me about the problems this causes for their inventories, and peeron has for several years failed to keep track of LDraw renumberings.
I think the easiest solution would be for me to create images for official parts using the same techniques as for the unofficial (Parts Tracker) images. That would also solve the problem of different sized images.
