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

Once I've got that down I'll see if bringing my info.plist file up to
date makes it work better with the other apps.

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 everything up (using the CFBundle*
tags), and commented out LSItemContentTypes tags (leaving the
UTExportedTypeDeclarations list alone) it let me assign LDView as
the default app, and doing so actually stuck, and worked via Safari.

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 the -lint flag would point out the
flaws in my file, but it was completely silent about my problems.
Although it did mention a PkgInfo signature mismatch in whatever I've
got for an LDView installation.  Might want to look into that if you
haven't fixed it already.
