This is similar to com.apple.internetconfig.plist, where the system internet
settings for mail, homepage, etc are stored.  What do other developers (ok,
Andrew) think about that?

To be honest, I'm not fussed either way. I guess if you use multiple Ldraw
applications, then using a single preferences file for all programs to locate
the Ldraw directory makes sence.

My only concern is that the file only be used to store genuinely multiple use
information (eg Ldraw directory). I believe each application should also
seperately maintain its own preference file for application defined settings.


How about org.ldraw.mac.folder or something?

The name fits with Apple Conventions.


Are there other settings that should be global for all LDraw applications?

The only thing I can think of is possible the location of a POV primitaves
directory.
