When it comes to LDView, since we have a clearly not biased *cough* author
here, I have two suggestions there as well (thanks for the export-function!).
You are, of course, free to ignore them at will :)
1. Would it be possible to choose the sorting order? For example, sorting
first by color, then by part name...
2. Would it be a problem to make a cvs-export as well? It helps when parts
are imported into Excel (or any other program) since they can then easily
be sorted, arranged, resorted, rearranged, deleted... :)

Thanks for the suggestions. Both suggestions seem reasonable (for 3.3,
probably; definitely not for 3.2). I had actually planned to support multiple
output formats in the future, but wasn’t sure what they should be. csv is
certainly one of the easiest. A tab-separated text file might also be good.
I’ve considered XML, but I’m not sure about the specifics. If anyone knows
about a schema that would be a good match for a parts list, I’m open to
suggestions.
Side note: it’s csv (comma separated values), not cvs (Concurrent Versions
System).
