is there a browser for the gdl files?

[Anonymous]

in time i have gathered a prety big amount of gdl objects, and the point is ... i'd love to find the duplicates, perhaps reorganize the directory structure, etc. is there an aplication that would alow me to preview gdl files? cos' opening in archicad one by one is a total head ache. so... just wondering ... could anyone help...?

Absolutely,
Have to take the time to have a look at it. It sound like a very interesting product.

Cheers.

Or may be Karl, if you happen to read this thread, may be you could give us quick run down on how to sort data?

The "ORDER BY" clause (lower case is fine) says how to sort the data. You can sort ascending or descending and by more than one field.

SELECT name, location, preview_jpeg
FROM libraryparts
ORDER BY name

will give you the list sorted ascending by name, as you wanted. 😉

Karl,
Fantastic. Thank you very much for showing us that. Simple really, but when you are not an SQL expert not so easy.

Again thank you.

Cheers.
