It would be nice to be able to dynamically rename things in the database based upon a text file that contains mappings of the form:
current_name desired_name
This could be either renaming based upon existing database item name, or based upon some attribute (such as part number)
One option is to simply rename things in the geometry file. The other is to take a top-level...

When an item is used in a combination more than once we can no longer identify unique instances of the item. For example:
mged> g things item1 item2 item1
mged> ls things
u item1
u item2
u item1
It would be nice to have an mged command that "fixes" these by creating an intermediate combination to "name" the instances.
mged> doit thing
mged> ls thing
u thing_item1_ref1
u item2
u...

At the moment if you supply a mapping file to the Pro/E converted it replaces the names of parts as they are converted from Pro/E to BRLCAD. It would be extremely helpful if the converter set the original Pro/E part name (which is usually a part number) as an attribute on the object converted. This way we could get back to the original Pro/E name later if needed.

I'd like an option to bot_dump that would produce facet normals (particularly for .OBJ format) for bots without normals and output facets that use the normal.

The dbbinary command is specified in the manual page for g_qa as the means for reading in a file to an opaque binary object in mged. However, under 1.14.1 the "dbbinary" command does not exist in mged any more.

Something is broken in file I/O under 7.13 on Windows. The attached file contains a simple procedure to build a Tcl array from an outboard text file. When run under linux it does the expected thing. Under windows it reports "
Error: can't read "line": no such variable.

The manual and code for the mged oed command does not perform as documented. Example:

mged> ls

g: --

mged> oed g a

We need commands which combine the "whichid" with an "e" "E" or "B" command. The concept is "I want to see the objects with the following region ids."
This could be a small wrapper Tcl function on whichid etc.
mged> eid 5506 12673 5411
mged> Bid 6727 7658 2480..2500.

We would like to be able to set LOS, GIFTmater, Aircode or other attributes using some quality of the name of the object. For example: Set the LOS on all things with "wheel" in the name to be 50. This could be done with either wildcard or regular expressions, or an extention of the find command:
mged> adjust *wheel*.r LOS 50
or
mged> find -t region -name *wheel* -exec adjust {}...

We need a command in MGED to check geometry files for consistency. If the Aircode has a non-zero value, then the LOS and GIFTmater values should be zero. Likewise, if either LOS or GIFTmater are set, then Aircode should be 0.
