I'm not sure how Orion guessed at the location for the official images, but those at http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/images/ are not up-to-date, have not been refereshed since July 2003, and were almost certainly generated by ldglite.

The current Parts Update process refreshes the official images at http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/images/7/100/ for use by the peeron partsref. However, this also still uses ldglite to ensure constant scale and no cropping.

The unofficial library images are generated by a special build of ldview which, as I understand it, doesn't have a size option, but rather a "camera distance" option, and crops at 640px x 480px - see this example.

So it is tough to ensure a size match between ldglite and ldview images.

I suppose I could re-generate the official images at http://www.ldraw.org/library/official/images/, using LDview if that makes sense.
