| (...) If someone wants to write up instructions, we can post this to the www.ldraw.org website under the Mac section. I would have done this but I have been too busy. I have never done a parts update either, so I don't know any more than any of (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) This is right. Combining this with Chris's observation regarding the -u switch, then here is the procedure (ready for the OS X install document), which I have tested on my own installation: - Assumption: ldraw folder is in ~/Library (the (...)

| (...) I don't have access to a Mac, so I can't say anything with certainty, but I've used the Unix version of unzip (which I'm guessing is the one from Fink above, only compiled for a different *nix flavor). I would expect the above to extract the (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) True -- it's also present in my 10.3.2 installation, too. Fink *also* installs unzip in /sw/bin. (...) That is quite an attitude! (...) That sounds more appropriate. The grain of salt for my previous suggestion was that I've been doing the (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
| | | | | Re: Adding part updates
|
| (...) Hmm, I don't think you need Fink to get unzip (I am running 10.2.8). %whereis unzip gives /usr/bin/unzip Thats some attitude that program has. I tried %unzip help and unzip replied, and I quote unzip: can't find help, help.zip or help.ZIP, so (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) I've been using this method, too. The one thing I'd add is that these steps also need to be performed for the p/48 directory, or you risk deleting some or all of the 48-segment primitives. It's been years since I've had a copy of the 'pro' (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) True, but they won't appear in the part lookup list until you run mklist. So don't forget those part numbers or you'll never find them again. If I recall, the osx bundle should contain Tom's point-N-click mklist, and the standard command line (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) Everyone should probably take what ever I say with a grain of salt, but I can't remember Stuffit Lite or Stuffit Expander ever asking where to put the uncompressed file. It just uncompresses the zip/sit file creating the new uncompressed file (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) Hey, that's a good question. If anyone comes up with a verified method for adding a parts update an existing Ldraw folder on a mac, I'd like to incorporate it into this page. (URL) only covers a full parts install, and the section on mklist (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

| (...) I'm not sure about specifics on the Mac, but I do know that the zip versions of the parts updates just get unzipped over the original files on a PC. When asked, I instruct Winzip to replace all duplicate files with the version from the zip, (...) (22 years ago, 14-Jan-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
