    Re: Making the DAT links work in safari. —Jim DeVona
   (...) For what it's worth there is a guide to this topic on LDraw.org: (URL) confirms application/x-ldraw (and application/x-multi-part-ldraw for MPDs). Can't the user just use "Get Info" to assign an application of their choice to open files of a (...) (16 years ago, 15-May-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

   (...) ever used is application/x-ldraw. I'm pretty sure it works for mpd files as well as ordinary dat files, but maybe the file has to have a .dat extension? (...) I'll have to look into "Get Info". Being new to the Mac, I don't know what it means. (...) (16 years ago, 15-May-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
   
        Re: Making the DAT links work in safari. —Jim DeVona
   (...) Select a file in the Finder and select "Get Info" from the "File" menu (or press Command-I). Under the "Open With:" section of the little window that appears, choose an application to open the selected file when double-clicked. Click "Change (...)

        Re: Making the DAT links work in safari. —Christopher Masi
   (...) OK, long time Mac users here. In the days of long ago, most/all browsers could be configured so that when the browser didn't know what to do with a file, a helper application, specified by the user, could jump in to open the file for you. (I (...) (16 years ago, 23-May-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

   (...) Hi Chris, it's like swiss cheese, but let's keep that a secret. (...) Yeah I remember, but now I actually have a junky used Mac of my own to play with, so I want to learn as much as I can before it dies. I was sorta assuming Mozilla still (...)

        Re: Making the DAT links work in safari. —Don Heyse
   (...) I don't either, but I think the problem is that ldglite uses a really, really old version of the info.plist settings, probably obsolete. I have to read up a bit on the new keys to see what they do. According to these notes, things changed a (...) (16 years ago, 23-May-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
   
        Re: Making the DAT links work in safari. —Travis Cobbs
   (...) Well, I tried that, and all it did was make it so that LDView couldn't be chosen as the app to open LDraw files at all. Comparing to L3Lab's Info.plist, I haven't the foggiest why. The L3Lab one seems to work. However, when I carefully cleaned (...) (16 years ago, 24-May-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
   
        Re: Making the DAT links work in safari. —Don Heyse
   (...) Maybe you could email me your working plist because I'm at the "just making things worse" stage. I tried cloning the L3Lab plist file and that made ldglite disappear from the list of choices for ldraw files. I was kinda hoping lsregister with (...)
