[Radiance-dev] Radiance file type registration

more on security for the type.

Hi,

did you only submit the hdr or also the scene description types? 
Security-wise, the rad-files have to be treated as scripts, as they 
allow any command to be executed from within (using the !-prefix), so I 
guess this leads to a very different classification then hdr's. Not sure 
what kind of nonsense an attacker could hide inside an octree though (I 
doubt that there are any security checks in Radiance about memory 
protection here?) - but I am just a non-developer on the wrong list, 
without inside-knowledge on the implementation here ;-)

CU Lars.
