Thinking about doing a LDCad 1.7 version


RE: Thinking about doing a LDCad 1.7 version
One other thing that I've thought of. When you hover over a part, status bar displays information about it. For example:

"Plate 1 x 2 (3023.dat) in Red (4,P) at 80; 117; -32"

But that info disappears once your mouse leaves the part even if that part is selected

I would find very useful if, when you have a part selected, the information would still be displayed in the status bar. And that you could configure a right click menu (perhaps in text file) that would open URLs. And Double click for a default URL!

In the example above, If I would right click on the status bar, a menu would pop up that would have the following options:

Open Part in:

Bricklink (default)
Brickset
LDraw Part Tracker

And the config text file for the menu could be perhaps something like this:

(entry name) : (URL with var);
"Bricklink" : "https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P="&%part%"&#T=C";
Brickset : "https://brickset.com/parts/design-"&%part%;
Ldraw Part Tracker : "https://www.ldraw.org/parts/official-part-lookup.html?folder=parts&partid="&%part%

Do you think that would be possible/useful?

Best regards,

Miguel
