User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021202 Chimera/0.6+

Chimera doesn't open .htmld files. They can't be dragged on the Chimera Dock
icon nor can they be selected from the open dialog. Please add .htmld to the
known file extensions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.schubert-it.com/vektor3/ and download the Vektor3 chess app
(currently the only app I know that creates .htmld files)
2. Launch Vektor3 (make some moves if you want), select "Insert Diagram" from
the Format menu to insert a diagram
3. Select "Save As..." from the file menu, in the save dialog select the format
"HTML Document" and export the game as .htmld file
4. Try to open the .htmld file in Chimera either by dragging it onto the Dock
icon or by selecting it in Chimera's open dialog

Actual Results:  
The file can't be opened by dragging to the Dock icon, and it can't be selected
in the open dialog.

Expected Results:  
.htmld should be a known extension for Chimera, .htmld files should be
selectable in the open dialog, and the exported .htmld game file should show
with moves and the inserted diagram etc. when opened in Chimera.
This works great in OmniWeb.

See also Bug 183114 to implement Save As "HTML Complete" in .htmld format.

Yup.

Add an entry to Info.plist registering .htmld as a bundle folder that should be
handled by Navigator.app. This bug also should depend on a bug that deals with
the file: protocol not using index.html files when viewing a local directory.

It doesn't seem reasonable to support the reading of a format that only one app currently uses. This would especially be harder for us if Core doesn't support the format.

If/When a core bug gets filed for this format to be supported by Gecko, please reopen this bug and create a dependency on it. Else, this bug is WONTFIX as implementing a Camino-only solution is not worth the effort.
