Viewing available part count

[Darin]

This is indeed a planned (2.0) feature, but I might add the 'auto decreasing set inventory counts' to 1.7.

You can 'fake' the global filter you want if you are willing to do some creative filesystem management

-  Make a copy of your  ldraw library, and use the new copy in LDCad instead of the original.
-  In de copy delete all .dat files in the parts folder which are not part of your personal inventory.

You could write a script doing this based on the items of a pbg file if you need it often with different scripts.

And if you are on Linux (e.g. ext3/4) you can use hard links to minimize duplicate files disk wise).

I'll consider the file management route. 

BTW, do you have an ETA for 1.7?
