I have today released the first beta version of LOM. It is available for download from the Other Stuff Section of my website - www.scruffyduck.plus.com. I hope that it may be of interest.This is a utility designed to manage FS9 library Objects. It does not work with the older API format (my API Manager will work with these). IT has the following capabilitiesManages your collection of library objects in a self contained database. The information can be filtered by category, author and library. De compiles information from single or multiple library bgls filesImports information from other programs such as EZ-Scenery, RWY12 and SBulderExports categorised information in a number of formats including SBuilder, RWY12, EZ-Scenery and XML so that you can use this information when designing sceneryCompiles bgl library files from your own mdl files and automatically updates the database with the informationProvides a simple object placement facility to allow you to place objects from the database into FSThis program requires Microsoft dotNET Framework 2.0, bglxml, blgcomp (included) and FSUIPC for the placement functionThe program is released as a beta for testing purposes and all feedback will be much appreciated.
