[LDView] ldr to pov export error

[Travis Cobbs]

Thanks.

What you have should work, but I'm not sure it's a good solution, long term. I think it would be better for me to add support for a MovedTo section in LGEO.xml, and have entries in there that include the old LDraw name, new LDraw name, and optionally the transformation matrix. I could then have a program that anyone could run to could generate that section. For brevity, it wouldn't include any entries where both the old and new LDraw part names are already supported.

Actually, if !HISTORY lines like the following are always present, LDView could be updated to automatically look for alternate names for a part to do this without any changes to LGEO.xml.

Code:

0 !HISTORY 2008-07-08 [PTadmin] Renamed from 193a (2006-04-13)

Chris Dee, are history lines like the one above auto-generated? And are they consistently present (with the exact "Renamed from x" text) in all parts updated within the last (say) 10 years?
