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 CONFIG
too. But like you said it is just a quick hack and there is room for
improvement.

Wow! This is great, Carsten! This will really help me, digging through the
parts directories, researching parts stuff... :)

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...
