Parts search paths


Parts search paths
#1
I was wondering if there is an official specification for parts folder priorities and limitations, I looked at the LDraw file format spec and it is somewhat vague in this area.

When loading an MPD file I search folders in this order:

- MPD subfiles
- unofficial parts folder
- unofficial p folder
- parts folder
- p folder
- MPD folder

And as for restrictions, should a file inside the MPD take priority over another file in the library (including primitives)? For example, if the MPD has a file called stud.dat, should it replace the studs in a part in the library?

It would be great to have some clarity on this to ensure consistency between applications.
