JPS and true H3D files are treated as page flipped stereo images, with the left and 
right images corresponding to each respective ‘page’.
If a JPEG file is opened and the filename contains the letter ‘r’ before the extension, 
the Viewer searches for a similar filename that contains the letter ‘l’ instead of ‘r’. 
Conversely, if the...
