Hello!
I was sick and bored and Leonardo did not have the time so i just wrote it.
Its the same little expansion to the explorer shell so when you hover your
mouse over a LDR or DAT file it will give you the basic header information
in a tooltip. It should work in Windows 2k and XP without problems.
I wrapped the whole thing in an installer for easy install and un-install.
Get it in the files section at http://www.m8laune.de!
I am thinking to prepare a better version with gives you a quick preview of
a model. This is just a quick hack.
Play well
Carsten

| OK, this works! It does show up with DAT and LDR extension but... ...could it also be associated with MPD? Furthermore I suggest to explicitely display lines that have useful info in them, for now it displays lines like ROTATION CENTER and ROTATION (...)

This version is very nice, just as it is. :) But if you were to figure out to make LDraw files display rendered images in Explorer's "thumbnail" view, that would be awesome...
