I'll be changing LeoCAD to follow the other tools but this is really something that should be in the standard.
What's the procedure to proposing an update to the spec?
Apparently I was misremembering when I originally posted that. I just looked at the source code, and LDView's default search path is like this:
[color=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)] return "<MODELDIR>"[/color]
[color=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)] "|<HIDE><DEFPRIM><LDRAWDIR>\\P"[/color]
[color=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)] "|<DEFPART><LDRAWDIR>\\PARTS"[/color]
[color=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)] "|<LDRAWDIR>\\MODELS"[/color]
[color=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)] "|<UNOFFIC><HIDE><DEFPRIM><LDRAWDIR>\\Unofficial\\P"[/color]
[color=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)] "|<UNOFFIC><DEFPART><LDRAWDIR>\\Unofficial\\PARTS"[color=rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85)];[/color][/color]
The above comes from Lars C. Hassing's LDrawIni (which LDView uses). Before looking for a file on the disk (using LDrawIni), LDView first checks if the file has been loaded from an MPD. So files in MPD files always come first.
As for updating the spec, I'll get that process started.
