I’m delighted to see another developer supporting the Macintosh.

I’m glad that Bricksmith can make use of them. Does it have a UI to add
new directories to the part search path?
|
Nope, so I had feared it might not be able to access them. However, I’ve
checked and Unofficial is hard-coded as the unofficial parts directory
name (in Source/Other/MacLDraw.h, for those following along at home). You
can set the LDraw directory, of course, so it will just look for an
“Unofficial” directory within that.
|
Interesting. I wonder if it was just a coincidence that we both chose the
same hard-coded directory for Unofficial parts, or if Bricksmith’s author saw
that I had used it. I suspect the former, since LDView didn’t work on the
Mac.

Yeah, LDraw/Unofficial just seemed like the logical choice. That was feature
that went nowhere, though. I never even documented it, because I didn’t think
anyone else supported it. (L3P?) I really wish LDraw would define a standard
Unofficial parts folder. Right now I just set the Finder’s label color to red
for any unofficial parts and then blithely dump them in my LDraw folder.

| (...) I took a look at the QChar docs in both QT 3 and QT 4, and updated the failing line of code to call the unicode() function on the QChar object. This builds fine in QT 3, and should also build fine in QT 4. I haven't had a chance yet to see if (...) (17 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
