There were many problems with LDBoxer if my memory serves me right. The biggest was it didn't have support for long file names or whitespaces in paths or file names. The constant changes of the LDraw spec's made me give up the whole project.
And: LDBoxer - at least in my versions - does not support MPD or any SNOT application at all. I simply don't have that programming skills.
It's sad that it doesn't handle MPD files properly. It's still better than nothing, though.
Do you think you could build a version that works on the command-line?
Or, could you take a look at @Jarema's and my direct translation into Python? I can get the script to run (Python scripts don't need to be compiled first, as long as you have Python installed), but there's something broken in it.
Thanks!
Maybe I could learn to parse MPD's. But even so, that would create new, potentially impossible problems. What if the same sub-file is used multiple times in an MPD, and the same used part should be boxed in some occations but not all of them?
Normally, I make command line programs in C and GUI programs in Delphi. That would mean I have to translate the entire program to C.
I don't speak Python, and I no longer have the capacity to teach myself a new programming environment.
