[Ldlite-development] Re: LDLite questions

[Paul G. <pa...@gy...>]

I'll look into it.
I can't think of a good reason for this behavior. Must be a nasty bug.
Rendering to the screen will not increase the drawing time if you
select the menu option to "Draw whole model" rather than "Draw a piece
at a time".  The selection is remembered, so you only have to set it
once.  Not sure if there is a command line option for it yet. (In general
I want to move away from the windows interface and just be a command-line
driven program).

Best way to report these bugs is to used the ldlite-developement
mailing list at sourceforge.
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ldlite-development
I usually don't have time to read lugnet anymore, plus this way
it gets archived and sent to anyone who is subscribed (currently
only me).
