Sorry if this was mentioned somewhere and I just missed it but since this has Railcraft's Crowbar functionality for manipulating track pieces can you also add the crowbar's ability to break Railcraft posts?
In Railcraft the correct tool to break Metal/Stone posts is the Crowbar, anything else takes ages to crack the things. Unfortunately I still need to have my crowbar handy for such purposes since the Omnitool doesn't count as the correct tool for the job.
Yeah unfortunately, it's not really an OmniWrench in a lot of ways just yet. I'll talk with CovertJaguar and see if he would like to change that on his end. I'm trying to obey the wishes and APIs that the modders have provided. And while technically I could probably use the RailCraft item API to do that, I'd like to check with Jaguar first and see if he'll look into making his blocks ICrowbar sensitive.
A god send item, that Lexicon, even if I'm having issues with my mods which make it somewhat hard to benefit from in some ways.
I think if the metallurgy crushers still gave their dust with IC2 installed I'd be fine, but I digress.
EDIT: Also, I don't know if you already do so or not, but I know a IC2 addon called GregTech has some more advanced forge ore dictionary support for his mod, supporting both ways people write their stuff into the dictionary. I think he said he checks for, as a example, items which have "oalDust" in their name for coal dust versions. Might have forgotten the C, but maybe that's the trick, using only part of the item name in your search so it lists more. It detects CoalDust and ItemCoalDust. So if the lexicon could do the same, it might be able to switch IC2 ingots into, say, Forestry Ingots, or Metallurgy Ingots.
I'll do a quick check to see if this would help, since GregTech also has a debug feature which outputs all ore dictionary listed items into a file.
EDITEDIT: Yes, I see metallurgy copper is(if I understand correctly, might be a different mod) IngotCopper, but IC2 copper is ItemIngotCopper.
I'm sure I can still bypass the IC2 block here by using TE for my ore processing, so I'll test that for now.

I solved my copper issue via some trickery. IC2 ingots are different in the Lexicon so they don't work... but IC2 dust does.

Mods registering Ores before the Lexicon's event handler is registered should be properly handled in most cases. Since there's no way for Forge to enforce good registration habits, the fix had to be on this end.
The OmniWrench now works as it should on IC2 machines (but again, it can't remove terraformer blueprints). Also, the diamonds / gold has been reversed. I had no problem personally with a 1 diamond wrench, but since the comment was made...
EDIT: 2.0.2 out; redid the new registration method to make more sense...had a logic hemorrhage when I wrote 2.0.1 and realized there was a much cleaner (and foolproof) way to do it. Sorry for any confusion.
Also, the OmniWrench and/or Lexicon can now be enabled or disabled individually in the omnitools.cfg file, for those of you who don't want both of them.
One more thing, the Lexicon graphic has been changed - it's much prettier now.
Is there any way to add configuration options to disable wood/log/wood slabs/wood stairs conversions with the forge lexicon? I noticed in the latest version that I can convert between them and I want to disable that on my server. (Using forge 6.0.1.355 for MC 1.4.2)
I also noticed that the Thermal Expansion dusts are not interchangeable with IC2 (1.108.71) dusts, are they supposed to be?

At the moment, there is no way to disable that conversion. Let me think on it though.
As far as the TE dusts go, they are properly registered as "dustCopper", "dustSilver", etc - which is the correct convention. I've heard that the IC2 ones are registered as "ItemDustCopper" and things like that, but I haven't verified this.
If they aren't interchangeable though, then I guess it's true. I'll pester IC2 about it, but I won't be changing TE over to the strange naming convention for the sake of compatibility.
I heard you talking on direwolf's videos about gregtech and the lexicon and how you might disable some of there conversions, Although I didn't find anywhere in the source code about predefined incompatibilities, yet I know they're there because when I put a piece of lapis in the lexicon, it displays lazourite dust, but quickly jumps back to lapis.

What mods do you have installed? I'd like to take a look at this. I'm assuming this is a GregTech thing. It shouldn't be doing anything weird with instantly swapping out...very odd.
Is there anyway to automate the conversion in the Lexicon? Pipes work fine to feed/extract items, however is it possible to trigger the conversion other than using the GUI? Redstone signal perhaps?

Curse Premium2.0.1 is out - fixes two bugs:
Mods registering Ores before the Lexicon's event handler is registered should be properly handled in most cases. Since there's no way for Forge to enforce good registration habits, the fix had to be on this end.
The OmniWrench now works as it should on IC2 machines (but again, it can't remove terraformer blueprints). Also, the diamonds / gold has been reversed. I had no problem personally with a 1 diamond wrench, but since the comment was made...

need more info than "HALP! BORKEN!"
aka: no info, no help.
Edit: never-mind, I guess it was a one time thing
