Philo Wrote:- Possibility to choose more options for the built-in viewer (mainly shading/lighting). This could be as low level as a .ini file in LDFind folder...Personally I do not like these "hidden" possibilities. That's one of the reasons I never have stepped deeper into LINUX systems. I am very visually driven and therefore this should be done also by a good user interface.
Please let me know the names in the menu of DATHeader of the features you like to have, so it's easier for me to find the right function
Philo Wrote:- Remember size of LDFind window across sessions (screens are getting larger these days...).Ok, that should be done quickly.
Philo Wrote:- Related to previous one, possibility to widen the text list window (by moving separation between text and preview windows) - descriptions are getting longer these days tooI know exactly what you mean. I have to see how many work this will generate. It's easy to be done in first layout, but later it can be more difficult.
Philo Wrote:- And a more philosophical one: I never liked the negative choice ("Hide subparts", "hide primitives"), and would prefer a positive one ("Show subparts", "show primitives"). When I look for -say- a subpart, it seems much more natural to me to hit a "show subparts" checkbox, rather than hide parts, and primitives, and... (etc)I think this change will never happen as all the underlying code needs to be rewritten. Any benefit of the lot of work? - I can not see it in real. The global design of LDFind is to see the whole library and narrow your search until you find what you are looking for.
Your attempt will just inverse this what is IMHO not a good idea.
I invite also other users of LDFind to contribute to this wishlist, so I am hopefully able to fulfil most of your demands.
