I could be misremembering or just mistaken, but I believe the problem is
with the extra spaces around the filename on subfile references. LEdit
cannot handle *editing* lines like:
1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 somepart.dat
But it should not have a problem *rendering* lines like this, as long as
they are in subfiles, not in the file currently being edited.
There is a wide variation in the formatting of the part files and primitive
files in the LDraw library. Some files have multiple spaces, some files
use tabs, some files are tightly packed with as little excess space as
possible. I haven't heard of LEdit not being able to render these files
before.
