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 in the same directory as the
oringinal stuffed/zipped file. I assumed the process went as follows...
double click zip file. Open directory. Open 'p' dierectory. Copy
contents to ldraw 'p' directory. Open 'parts' directory. Copy contents
to 'ldraw' 'parts' directory. It isn't an elegant solution, but it isn't
a difficult solution.
By the way, what in the heck is mklist, and why do I want to run it when
I add files/parts? I added 2865 and 2867 (straight and curved 9v train
track or visa versa) to my parts directory and I don't think I ran
mklist, but ldglite can use those files without a problem.
Kinda funny that I barely know what I am doing, yet I helped write the
osxinstall.html stuff for ldglite, don't you think? Not laugh out loud
funny, but I think you get the point.
