Bear in mind, that even once Travis fixes this LDView bug ("shortcut" parts), you'll still likely get parts lists with missing part images.
I usually have images turned off anyway, but for testing I analysed some of my biggest models and found that every one of them had missing images, and while a few missing images were caused by this particular bug (e.g. motors, flags, etc.), the majority of the missing images were for a variety of other reasons:
- Peeron using a different part number than LDraw for a given part
- Peeron not having any image available for a given part
- Peeron having an image available, but not at the expected address
- Peeron not having an image in my chosen color, despite such a part/color truly existing
- Peeron not having an image in my chosen color, because I used a color/part combo that may not exist in the real world (my fault)
- Parts lists of models/sub-models where color 16 has been used
- and so on...
Travis, as regards color 16, rather than generating a parts list with color -1 (as you presently do), would it not be better in this case to simply pick up the user's chosen "default" color on preferences/general? or make it an option...
