iT2D 1.4.1 Preview - Project file clash with T2D

Build: 1.4.1 Preview (11th Feb. 2011)
Platform: OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6
Target: Editors
Issues: The file association with both T2D and iT2D projects is the same. This makes the OS pick the editor it wants depending on popularity. If you open T2D more than iT2D, it would usually pick T2D to open any .t2dproject files.
Suggested fix: Associate iT2D with .it2dproject files, T2D with .t2dproject and make it possible to open the other type only from within.
Alternatively, make the next versions of each editor save .it2d and .t2d respectively, thereby also bypassing any manual file associations people might have set. Then the editors could still open legacy files, if they for some reason prefer one or the other to open their .t2dproject files.

I've had this change up since 1.3 or so on my end and it really saves headache and project trashings (as I completely cut t2d project support for iT2D).
