[LDPartEditor] 0.8.42 Beta Released (Bug fix / open *.dat with LDPartEditor.exe)

[Nils Schmidt]

it launches a new instance (with increased startup time) instead of just adding a new tab in running LDPE.

Strange.
On my machine it works fine.
It looks like a new instance is opened (it takes about 1 or 2 seconds, I get a brief glimpce of it) but then it "turns itself" into a new tab.

I have dat-files associated with LDDP. How do I tell windows to also associate it with LDPE?
Now, I have to right click on a file, choose "Open with/choose an other app", scroll the list, and select LDPE in the list.

When I want to open a file with DATHeader, it is already there, in the right click meny.
All I do is choose "Open with/DATHeader" in the menu.

I can't see LDPE in the Task Manager. All I see there is "Java Platform SE binary".

I will inlcude an option to associate *.dat files to LDPE in the next installer (Setup.exe) (#680).
Then you don't have to struggle with your Windows configuration.

Workaround: You can drag & drop *.dat files on a shortcut to LDPartEditor.exe and they will be opened.
