LDCad 1.7 Alpha 2 (win+linux)

[Jaco van der Molen]

A feature request rather than a bug.

It would be helpful to be able to filter a parts bin on the basis of parts not matching. For example, if I'm looking at the part bin "By Category/Brick", I'd like to see neither patterned nor stickered bricks. At the moment, I can filter to show parts containing "pattern" or "sticker" but not the opposite. A simple extension to the syntax, perhaps prefixing a symbol such as an exclamation mark (!) to the word being filtered, would enable this capability.

For example, while a filter of "pattern" would show patterned bricks, a filter of "!pattern" would exclude patterned bricks.

Heu? This can be done already, can it not?

For example, I have this in my plain bricks PBG

<rules>
include category brick
exclude description ~*,_*,=*
exclude description duplo,quatro,mursten,pattern,pat.,spring,sticker,logo,without corner,fabuland

exclude description using words like pattern, pat., sticker, logo should do it?

There are some patterned parts that do not have the word pattern in the description, so those will not be filtered.
