LDInspector

[Stefan Frenz]

Hi there,

first of all, I would like to say my thanks to Roland for LDCad and to Philippe, Willy, Johann and Magnus for helping me out drawing models and making them OMR compliant.

After making the same mistakes multiple times and because I don't get MPDCenter running on my Linux box, I wrote a small Java tool to:

• inspect and preview ldr/mpd files, list/preview sub-files
  
• check OMR-compliance and some subtle things (like tires having Rubber color)
  
• organize part lists (pbg import / export and generated from ldr/mpd files)
  
• get part lists from Bricklink and Rebrickable with preview and pbg export
  
• compare part lists of arbitrary source
  
• search parts by description / filename / origin
  

I don't know if this software would be of any interest to the community. It is in some kind of early pre-alpha state, but if there are brave testers, I would be happy to get feedback or just "does not work" messages. Maybe it even helps other Linux-LDrawers to get their files OMR compliant? The gui requires JavaFX (see here), everything else is "plain Java" (version >=11).

Any suggestion or feedback is warmly welcome.

Best regards
Stefan
