Is there something special that needs to be done with the above zip file
after extracting to get Bricksmith to recognize the parts in it?

That seems better than what I get. I had the loading parts window never go
away, and when I exited and restarted Bricksmith, it just shows that window
for a little bit and then crashes. This is what I see in the console log:
2009-01-01 17:52:49.744 Bricksmith[759] Exception raised during posting of
notification. Ignored. exception: *** -[NSCFString
getLineStart:end:contentsEnd:forRange:]: Range or index out of bounds

This is caused by the files:
p/box3#8p.dat
parts/s/swh2.dat
parts/s/swh3.dat
...all of which are empty files in 2008-1. The next version of Bricksmith
will not choke on such malformed files; in the meantime, don’t use those
files from 2008-1. Throw away LDraw/Bricksmith Parts.plist to recover from
your problem after fixing the empty files.
The official LDraw distribution needs to be updated to restore these files’
contents as well.

Thanks for pointing this out. I don’t understand how those files got to
become zero-length, but these will be restored in the next parts update
(which is under development at present).

On further investigation, it is now clear why I did this. All three files are
obsolete and not used by any official parts and as primitives/subparts should
not be directly referenced in models. Because this update was a complete library
refresh, I figured that it was OK to logically delete them. What I didn’t
account for was applications expecting to find some header information in every
file. This has been corrected in the complete.zip (but not the Windows installer
executable) by creating files with dummy headers, but no content. The Windows
installer executable will include these files with the next update.
