By three votes against, zero for, and two (as yet) uncast, this proposal is
rejected.

 

NOTE: It was superceeded by an almost identical proposal that allows zero or
more qualifiers whereas this proposal would only have allowed one optional
qualifier.

Subject: [LSC] Call for votes: Optional qualifier for !LDRAW_ORG header

 

Sorry for any undue haste, but I'm off for the week

 

Background - HYPERLINK
"http://five.pairlist.net/pipermail/lsc/2007-August/000915.html"http://five.
pairlist.net/pipermail/lsc/2007-August/000915.html

 

This proposal is in THREE parts.

 

A "no" vote for part a) will imply "no" votes for parts b) and c)

A "yes" vote for part a) will require seperate votes for parts b) and c)

 

------------Beginning of proposal---------- 
a) To add an optional qualifier to the !LDRAW_ORG meta-command.

The new syntax for this meta-command becomes

    0 !LDRAW_ORG Part|Subpart|Primitive|48_Primitive|Shortcut (qualifier)
UPDATE YYYY-RR
(see HYPERLINK
"http://www.ldraw.org/Article398.html"http://www.ldraw.org/Article398.html).


The  "Unofficial_" extension of Appendix I is still valid.

There may only be one qualifier per file.

 

 

b) To define an "Alias" qualifier for the !LDRAW_ORG meta-command.  

The purpose of the Alias qualifier is to identify a part which is visually
identical to another (often caused by LEGO using two differnet numbers, one
for opaque and one for trans versions of the same part e.g. HYPERLINK
"http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=32061"http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-
bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=32061, but more recently, there have also been new part
numbers for well-established parts - such as brick 2x6).

An alias file will typically, but not necessarily, contain only one sub-file
reference (line type 1) entry

A file with an Alias type qualifier must not refer to a file that itself has
an Alias qualifier.

 

 

c) To define a "Physical_Colour" qualifier for the !LDRAW_ORG meta-command.

The purpose of the Physical_Colour qualifier is to identify a part which is
encoded as a specific colour of a part e.g. HYPERLINK
"http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=73311"http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-
bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=73311

An alias file will typically, but not necessarily, contain only one sub-file
reference (line type 1) entry, where the entry has a specific colour value
and not colour 16
