stop LDD showing 'recent models'?

[SNIPE]

Hi,

Is there something I can do to stop Lego Digital Designer from showing 'recent models'?

I have tried removing the line 'recent models' from preferences.ini and setting that file to read only for all users but even though it now is not being written to LDD is STILL showing recent models, however when I remove the line from preferences.ini LDD does not show any recent models until I open an .lxf file again

Reason being as it makes LDD take ages to open and unless I keep removing them from the preferences.ini file each time it will keep on doing it.

Regards, Snipe

You can use a "trick".

Create an empty lxf file, and use it to open LDD.

LDD will open directly on the working area, and then you can open the model you want.

Thanks,

I made a model of just one brick then deleted the part from the lxfml file I exported it as now it opens a blank area in LDD , then I made the lxfml file read only so LDD cant change it.

Now I just build on the blank area and use save as in the file menu if I want to save.

I m using it on Mac OSX for possible future reference

Unfortunately, a new LDD update will overwrite this setting, so you will need to re-apply it each time.

Great gnac!

I was looking exactly for that topic.

It would be useful to add it to the section index, among the "useful threads".
