Good Morning, I have attempted to load some of the Chimera "Experimental Features" following the installation instructions:
On Macintosh computers put it in
Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/share
On the Mac you will need to use Finder menu entry Go / Go to Folder... to see inside the Chimera.app folder.
When Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/share is typed into the Go To Folder I get a message that the "Folder can not be found". Subsequent searches show only the Chimera application. I am running a Mac G4 running Mac OS 10.3.9 and iMac (Mac Intel) running Mac OS 10.4.8 My Chimera version is 1.2303 Am I missing something? Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Edmond Alexander Alexander & Turner Medical Illustration Studio
Hi Edmond, To find the Chimera "share" folder you would need to type the full path to Chimera into the Mac Finder "Go To Folder" dialog. For example: /Applications/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/share or /Users/goddard/Desktop/Chimera.app/Contents/Resources/share There is an easier way to get to the share folder. Hold the "ctrl" and click on the Chimera icon to display a popup menu and select Show Package Contents. This will display the Chimera.app/Contents folder. I'll add a note about this in the Chimera experimental feature installation web page. It may just be a Mac OS 10.4 feature (not 10.3). Sorry the installation instructions were not better, and thanks for reporting the problem. Tom
