LDCad 1.6 suggestions/plans

[Roland Melkert]

I have been planning gui level part bin management for a while but keep pushing it to the next version for some reason. I'll move File change detection / reloading for the part bin files to the to do list as it would at a minimum make it possible to change the content without having to restart the program all the time.

Customizable tabs for parts bin window

This shouldn't be to hard to implement but I might limit the string lengths of those captions to 3 characters or something as it will influence the minimal width of the bins.

Ability to create groups for favorite parts

Like philo wrote custom 'favorite' groups can be done by adding files to e.g. the sets group or by setting up your own subtree inside the part bin. it should become easier to do / see what your doing once the file reloading stuff is extended to include the bin files.

Ability to export parts list

This might become possible through scripting see the above posts from Philo and Milan.
