LDCad 1.5 Alpha 1 (win+linux)

[Roland Melkert]

Very nice model, especially for a first try

Lack of help bubbles (I told him about the status bar)

The hintbar only thing was initially a rendering speed thing, but on modern hardware it matters less and less, so I might add something (optional) in 1.6 for this.

He added a lot of empty submodels, confusing the +step icon with the +model icon (I do that too quite often). While I think there is nothing wrong with the icons themselves, maybe the "discard" button of the edit header box should delete the submodel if it's just beeing created? Speaking of this window, is there a way to make "Sync with filename" the default option?

A delete on the initial discard might be better indeed, I'll put it on my list of low prio stuff.

Lack of parts list generation

For a quick listing you can use the overview bin groups e.g. current step parts, all used parts etc. Or does he mean a export of used parts?

(edit) When you hide some parts/submodels then create an export, the exported image shows all hidden stuff.

This is a (minor) bug, I'll correct it in Beta 1.

Otherwise, in 1.5 alpha 4, I can't type a space in the filter field (it does work if I pop up the search window of course), preventing me to search on several words. Don't know if this behaviour is new but I think so.

This does work in 1.4, I noticed it myself a while back the multi view zoom was stealing the key event so I restricted that key to the view area. I'm not sure what's different compared to 1.4 but it's probably the result of the layout changes

Thanks for the feedback Philo.

edit: forgot to answer the filename sync question. The second checkbox behind that field controls the default behavior. I might need a better hint for that box.
