I don't suppose you could humor me and type:
assoc .ldr
at a command prompt and tell me what you get. Since we seem to be
standardizing on the .ldr extension and the application/x-ldraw, it
might be nice to standardize the rest of the junk Windows seems to
use to associate extensions with mime types. I mentioned this once
before here:
http://news.lugnet.com/cad/?n=5606
At that time I suggested switching from ldlite.document to
lcad.document. However I noticed the reference at ldraw.org
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/mime
suggests LDraw.DAT.File for the associated file type. That sounds
reasonable to me, except perhaps we should switch DAT to LDR, or just
go with LDraw.File.
Any thoughts?
