LDView - feature request


Re: LDView - feature request

I'll think about it, but probably won't implement it (at least as requested). LDView is very specifically a viewer, meaning that it doesn't edit the LDraw files that it opens. Doing what you request is a bigger change than you might imagine, since suddenly it needs functionality normally restricted to an editor (file has changed indicator, "save file" functionality, possibly other things). The fact that Ctrl+S is currently mapped to "Save Snapshot" muddies things even further.

I could still provide the functionality, but store the data somewhere else (for example, in the registry on Windows). That would mostly solve your problem, but the information wouldn't stay with the model, since it wouldn't be stored in the model file. So sending the model to another machine wouldn't preserve the information, and even moving the model around on the same machine might cause the information to be lost (depending on how it was saved).

I'll think about it.
