I get this request quite often and would love to add such a cataloge to the AIOI. I could render thumbnails of the parts folder's content by running a LDView batch file but this is just half the job.
* Ideal would be a script which generates PDF pages with a header (Image/Number/Description)
* Comes with a search string feature. Something down the line of the search feature in MLCad, with <Brick, Plate>, <Minifig & !Torso, ...
* Let's me change the color of the thumbnails via LDraw color number or general color picker
* Does also a little bit of formatting as LDView does for it's Parts List
* Would not rely on existing image databases. It would use it's own renderer or an external viewer. Databases on Peeron or Bricklink do not have images of all part in all colors.
Anybody out there with the required skills and a bit of spare time left?
