Macs & .ftl files: Fixing __MACOSX errors during GMM packing
Posted: Mon Jan 21, 2013 7:07 am
For those of us modding on macs:
If you are using OSX 10.3 or above, GMM will likely crash on you when you attempt to load your own .ftl files, giving you an error about an unsupported __MACOSX directory. This happens because OSX generates folders in .zip files when you create them. These folders then gum up GMM.
But there is a solution!
If you run it will delete the generated __MACOSX directories. Upon being loaded as a .ftl file in GMM, it will re-pack and load smoothly.
I hadn't found this solution on the forums, so I thought this might be helpful.
