Trevor, Gerald and everyone working on improving Lpub:
It is really great to see somebody working on improvements on Lpub. I am a heavy user of Lpub and the following would be my suggestion:
One of the most valuable feature in Lpub is the BOM generation. Even if currently it works perfectly (I love the resizing feature), I think it could be enhanced by adding the possibility to change the parts sorting method. Currently I guess parts are sorted by size (which makes perfectly sense) but it would be interesting to also be able to sort the parts by color.
Sorting by color most likely implies eventually the need of more real estate, but in some cases I think this is perfectly ok. My feeling is that sometimes just by sorting by size, makes the BOM look somewhat messy.
Do you guys have any update? Anyone else knowing something about it?
Thanks a lot in advance,
- Mattia
PS: I am currently still working on improving ldraw.xml ...
