Title: a Simple easy to use Block Library Manager
Post by: jb on February 12, 2010, 11:42:31 AM
started here: http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=32058.new (http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=32058.new)

Notes:
1. Make sure you have OpenDCL installed (I'm using the latest Alpha)
2. Make sure the BlockManager.dat file is in AutoCAD's search path
This is  now stored in the registry
3. Edit the dir entry in the .dat file using similar syntax.  Future versions can use the .dat file to save additional settings.
Select the "directory" button at the bottom of the tree control to select the root folder location.
4. Once the SwampBlockmanager.lsp is loaded type "swBlockManager".  If you have edited the .dat file correctly the treeview should show all folders and subfolders to any depth.  
The command is now just "BlockManager"

I'd like to consolidate many of the single service subs into larger ones - I did this to help with debugging.  I'd also like to add insert features to the .dat file: flags for prompting during insertion, etc.
I have consolidated some of the rambling subs but havn't done anything with insert settings.

Thanks to Tim, CAB, Jim Short and everyone else you provided input.
In the final version I'll have a more descriptive header. Who am I trying to kid - no I won't . . .
