Search path discussion

[Orion Pobursky]

Since non-LSB members can't comment on the LSB forum, this thread is for discussion of the search path proposal there.

To kick this off I'd like to comment on something Roland posted:

I disagree on this, a stud.dat should not replace all studs in the whole scene if it's located in the mpd itself or its folder.

This is precisely the point of embedding such a file in the MPD and why we do it for the OMR. Local files should always override library parts. Otherwise the OMR breaks and parts authoring become morse inconvenient since you'd have to overwrite the official file if you're using or creating a fix.
